Dying Young


#1 Describe Keats' tone in "When I have fears." Do you think the tone is constant or does it change? Explain.

#2 Compare and Contrast the poem below and the one we read in class. Mention three similarities and three differences

The human seasons
FOUR Seasons fill the measure of the year;
There are four seasons in the mind of man:
He has his lusty Spring, when fancy clear Takes in all beauty with an easy span:
He has his Summer, when luxuriouslySpring’s honey’d cud of youthful thought he loves To ruminate, and by such dreaming high Is nearest unto heaven:
quiet coves His soul has in its Autumn, when his wings He furleth close;
contented so to lookOn mists in idleness—to let fair things Pass by unheeded as a threshold brook. He has his Winter too of pale misfeature, Or else he would forego his mortal nature.

I think that his tone is constant. To me, he is just talking about how he is going to die, like he can feel it, and he is scared of it.

#1Keats tone in "When i have fears " changes at about line 11 or 12. He stops talking about what he wants to do or what he will miss about himself, but why he will miss his lady.
#2 In the poem below the author talks about someone else and what they have.But in "When Ii have fears" the author talks about themselves.

He seems depressed. It changes from happy to sad.
One similarity would be the tone, dying, and illness.
The differences are the stations of the year, the comparison between man and spring, and the conclusion.

1. i think that th first ten lines a are all about him and the last four are about a girl.
2.the human seasons is different from when i have fears because it is about stages of life and is not written by someone who is close to the end of his life, it is similar because it talks about death and the end of life.

Keats tone changes to just being upset about being sick to accepting the sickness.

1. I think it does change in poem. The first line talks about himself then in the last few lines it speaks of someone else.

2. I think The Human seasons refers to how a man feeling change through out a year. This is different from When I have Fears because it not talking about dying but living year by year. The Two poems are similar by having both changes in life. Also by both having joy and sorrow in life. Brad Duplantis

In both of the poems the tones change somewhere in the poem. In the human seasons it's talking about how life goes by symbolizing things with the seasons, and it When i have fears it's talking about how John Keats is dying and what he's going to do before his life is over.

1) i think his tone changes towards the end of his poem. Keats' had a calm and steady mood of tone in the first 10n lines of his peom. The last 4 to 5 lines changes because i think he started to get into his feelings. He started to talk about a lady which whom he might have loved.

#1) John Keats' tone in "When I Have Fears" changes. It's not really dramatic, and it doesn't happen until the very end, but it does happen. He talks and talks and talks about all of the things that he will not be able to do, or the things that he will miss out on, but in the end he gives off the impression that none of the negatives matter much to him at all.

#1- I think that Keat's tone changes in "When I Have Fears." Beacause in the begginning like lines 1-10 it talks about how he knows he is going to die but after the face he talks about his lady lover and what he should do about her since he knows he' s dying.

#2- Both poems are talking about how he is going to die. But "The Human Seasons" is just talking about him and how it is going to feel when he is gone.

1.Tone in his voice does change, he tone at first is normal and as it get towards the end of the poem his voice get sad almost because he knows that he asbto make a decision that's very hard.
2.they talk about there slf first and then about a girl

Anonymous said...

1. I do think that the tone changes during the poem. Before line 10, he is just talking about himself and what he fears, but then he starts talking about "thee", or the girl he's in love with.
2.
Differences:
a) In "When I Have Fears," Keats's tone is sadness, but in "The Human Seasons" it seems thoughtful.
b) Fears just talks about himself and then his love, but Seasons talks about humans in general.

Similarities:
a) They are both written by John Keats.

I believe the tone of the poem changes throughout it.
the similarities

both poems have love in it.
one has romance the other doesn't
one talks about high piled books. the other has the four seasons.

one talks about supernatural powers.

one talks about standing alone until love and fame until nothingness do sink.

1)JOHN KEATS SPEAKS OF DEATH AT THE START OF THIS POEM BUT, THE TONE CHANGES TOWARDS THE END.

2)BOTH POEMS ''WHEN I HAVE FEARS'' AND ''THE HUAMN SEASONS'' HAVE REFFERENCES TO DEATH , BOTH POEMS SPEAK OF SOME FORM OF LOVE THEY ALSO SPEAK OF LIFE IN GENERAL.
JOHN KEATS TALKS ABOUT FEAR HOWEVER THE OTHER POEM TALKS ABOUT THE JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE IT(THE HUMAN SEASONS) ALSO HAS MORE POSISTIVE THAN NEGATIVE WHEN KEATS' POEMS SEEMS BE MORE GLUM.

#1 Keats' tone in "When I Have Fears" does change at the end....When he starts talking about somebody else........It sounds somewhat selfish at the beggining, becuse he only talks about what he wants to do before dying.........

#2 "The Human Season" talks about the seasons of the year (Spring, summer,Autumn,and Winter), and describe them all......It tells about the beauty of nature.....And i don't think the tone of this poem changes..............."When I Have Fears" talks about what John Keats wants to do before he dies.....Tone chages at about the end of the poem, when talking about somebody else......this poem mostly talks about fears.......(B. Del Rio)

1. the tone in "When I have fears." had changed at the end of the poem.
2. different is in "when i have fears" Keats talking about his dying, and at the end he talked about the one he love, in "the human seasons" Keats talked about the four season and it all about human, not just only one person that he love.

#1
The tone in "When I have fears" changes because in the beginning Keats stresses negatively that he will miss this and that during his lifetime and that his las years will be horrid. In the end he states his love for a woman and postively talks about beauty and happiness.

#2
*They both express a positive outlook on life at one point or another.
*They both insinuate not to take advantage of what life brings. *They are both written by John Keats.\

*"When I have fears" has a dynamic tone and "The human seasons" pretty much has a static tone.
*"The human seasons" describes only the seasons that will be missed after life and "When I have fears" describes a few different things that will be missed.

1.Keats'tone does change in this poem, although he talks about death a lot.
2.-they both express positive outlooks on life in general

the first ten lines a are all about keats and the last four are about a love that has passed.

the human seasons is about stages of life and is not written by someone who has longer to live, it is similar because it talks about death and the end of life.

Anonymous said...

#2 Basically both poems are similiar as well as diffenrent. For example the similarities are both are written by John Keats and both talked about love. But the differences are few for ex. "When I have fears" talked about him and his love, the joy and sorrow in other words sadness. while in "The human season" is more thoughtful and talked about humans in general.

Anonymous said...

In Keat's "When I have fears." At the beginning he is negative. Towards the end he becomes more positive and happy about a woman he is in love with.

-Both are positive on their views of life
-Both are saying that you cant take what life gives you for granted.
-The second one mostly talks about fears

#1.The tone for Keats poem "when I have fears" is that he wants to do so much before he dies. In the poem he know that he is about to die. Keats also sees everything in a differernt way since he has his days counted. In the poem he also states that he loves to write. At the end of the poem he decided to write about his girlfriend that he has. On the last line of the poem he states that he doesnt care for fame. His tone does not change.
#2. The poem " The human seasons" is way different from Keats especially with the tone, it seems more happy and not depressing and the writter seems to compare a human's soul and and differnt ages to the seasons.

I think that he used often the same tone for that he spoke about the fear.

They are likes for that both to try of to show the live of different form. But also are very different in the poem from the book is about the fears and in the other is about the changes the nature. Maria Gonzalez

I think that the tone doesnt change...It stays constant-the only thing that does change is when hes talking about his girl and whether to go about with her or not.

The thing that is the same and thats different in both of the poems would be that they are both talking about dying and fearing their life. Another thing is that they are talking about the beauty that his significant other has and such.

Keats tone in "When I have Fears" is fearful. Keats stayed constant with his tone through out the whole poem.

1.His tone stays pretty much the same throughout the main part of the poem, but some hope in his tone arises throughout it in small sections. He seems to be afraid of the unknown feeling of death and reluctant to accept that he will die so young before living a full life.

The main difference between the two poems is that Keats does not experience his fully "year of seasons," he goes from an early inspirational spring into a dead winter, skipping summer and autumn. The length of the poem is also shorter, and I read it online.
That's different from reading it in a book.

keats changes his tone in "when i have fears" he stops talking about what he wants or what he did and why. he also seems depressed about his tone.
one difference in his poems are the time seetings in each one. one similarity would be the tone of the poems also the comparison between the man and spring.

1) Keats' tone in "When I have fears" changes towards the end. He is talking about himself in the first couple of lines and then changes to talk about the lady who he could have loved.

2) The poem below and the one we read in class can be compared and contrasted in many ways. Both poems are written by John Keats, discuss death, and love is mentioned. However, 'The Human Seasons' talks about men or people in general and has you thinking about the stages of life. While, 'When I have fears' talks about himself and the lady. You are left feeling unhappy because he doesn't know what to do about her.

I think the tone in the poem "When I have fears." is constantly change because one part he talk about he have to write a lots of books and another part he talking about his love.
Differences: In the poem "When I Have Fears" is rhym. In the poem "The Human Seasons" he decribe is life by four seasons. Keats use frist person in his poem and the other one using third person
Similarities: Both poem the author talking about their dream. Talk about love. The ending is the same.

The tone of the poem "When I have fears" is a constant with the thought of love and how life me seem hard but one must keep pushing on even when the final strech is the hardest.

Things can change in the heart of a man and so can life that is one of the comparison between both his poems. In diffrences is that he dosen't attempt to change his feelings in " When I have Fears", while he states that changes are made in the heart of the man like the seasons of the year.

I think his tone pretty much stays the same. The whole poem is about death and how he talks about love before death.

Similarities:1.They both talk of love.2.They both talk of some type of death.3.The tone on life is the same.
Differences:1.The Human Seasons talks of some good in life.2.Keats poem is all about the bad in life.3.They both also reflect upon the human soul.

#1 I believe Keats tone changes, because in the beginning he seems happy and then towards the end, his attitude changes making him seem sad or something.
#2 They both talk about life and death but in different ways.

#1 In Johnathan Keats' poem "When I have fears," the tone seems to be constant;therefore, never changing. By constant I mean it talks about death and how one should focus on the finish line even when the end is near. In other words, never give up.

#2 Both poems "The human seasons" and "When I have fears" can be compared and contrasted in many different ways. They are similiar to each other for they bboth discuss death in relation to love. They are different for "The human seasons" describes only the things that will be missed after life and "When I have fears" describes the things that will be missed before and after death.

The tone of "When I Have fears" is sadness because the man knows he is going to die.

Both poems have a reference to death but "the human seasons" embraces death and emphises on how death will bring life.

Well I belive that it has a very conceited tone to it he relly only talks about himself but it does chang a little when he gets his peice about himself out and e then begins to talk about some girl he likes

The keits poem is more about himself and a little morbid while the second one is talking about man in general instead of just one certain man

1. In the poem, "When i have Fears" I think that the tone is constant because he is talking about been sad through the entire thing.

I think that the tone its changes constantly because at the beginnig he talks about his fears in a different tone and in the end he talks about his love.
One similiraty is that the poem "When i have fears." is in first person and the other is on third person. Also it does not have any rim skill.
Both poems talk about fears.

Anonymous said...

2. the poems differ because of the way the author in explaining the scene's around them. In "the Human Season" the authors tone changes a little and also doesnt talk about sad related things, its more of a happy poem, compared to "when i have fears" which is relating to how he is scared of dieing.

Keat's "When I have fears" tone is different and some what similar to what I have read earlier as a kid, its the same because it speaks of happiness and death but it it because of that it is very similar to others that I have read.

This poem reminds me of another poem that speaks in a different version of death and life. This poem talks about four seasons but it is used as a sequence in a part of his life and for as ther poem I read used another sequence, it's sequence is used with steps.

(1. At first I would think he is talkjing aboout his fears,but in a sad way he was describeing it.I remember reading about it at the end he chaged his writing to talking about some one else.

(2. one of the three silmilarities is they discribe what they are thinking about. senocond is that both of the talk about human life.

one of the three differences is that both poems done is different. the second is that one of the poems talks about fear and the other does not. the thirt is "When I Have fears," is talking about being selfish and the other does not.
