Literary devices, change everything!

 Just  after  I read  John Donne's poems "The sunrising" and "canonization" I noticed that Jonh Donne  is not just religion and sex, and in this  case,   the poems  could  be  set in any  real life  situation, and that if you read them carefully,  you can   set  them in  your life, and  notice that  the way  he   writes it,  makes  everythig beautyful, no matter what the situation is.

In the  first   poem,  "the sunrising" talks  about  a man that just get up  and  he  is with his  wife, or  lover , and  he is   happy because  he  just woke up  with her, but the sun ,  is  making  him move and  start a new day,  thing that he doesn't  want, because  he wants to stay with  her. After that he starts  to  caompare her with the sun,  so that  he makes it feel "smaller" located  in the  verses 15-16;  also he  is trying to  make  her  feel   something bigger   someone  that   is something more, in   ypour life, located in the  verses 21-22.

O the  other hand,  in "the canonization" it   is a poem  where  he   is   kind of angry or upset  because  he  might  have  met a woman that  is worth  to love,  but  she  doesn't  let him   love  her, and  he  wrote   this,  so  he shows her that  is  worth  to love her. In this case,  he compares  her  to everything that  is  amazing, that   make her  feel  beautiful and   important; one  example of it  is  the verse 1-2 and the  verses 44-45. 

Some of the themes  that he uses, is the  religion   and  he uses it  to make  feel  someone bigger and important, because  his   context was   that   religion was the best thing ever, and that God  can  be compared  with you   makes   you   something important.  Another  thing that  he uses is power, refeing to   the goverment, so   that    the  reader feels the power, the kind of love that  he  has  to her.

In the literary devises   he  mainly uses   the retoric questions,  so that  the reader, or the  person that the  poem  is   for,  understand, and  asks   him or herself   the   real reason why he  or she feels that way, and    if  it is  worth to.  In  "sunrising" he  uses a zeugma  to  make that   the sentence, has to meanings, or  he uses a chiasmus  to  make   her feel that the realitionship  is    the   biigest thing. 

In conclusion,  he uses   the themes and litery devises  to  make   the ideas  change   from something  simple, to  the   best thing that  could  have happened  to the   person that the poem  is  for, and  also to change the ideas  of the  person that the poem is  for, because  this  could   make  the  chane of  saying with her  or not.
