Pablo Neruda is one of the poet who has revolutionize the world by his works, his poems and his action. He was a man of character, a leader who will stand and defend the cause of his people. As a poet, he has expressed his feelings, his thoughts by writing. As a politician, he has spoke for the people who were not able to defend their right and had the great opportunity to perform his duty as a citizen. He was a leader of great imagination who get to involved in important decisions of his country, a charismatic leader who has used his powerful word to make a difference to people’s life. Born in born July 12, 1904, Parral Chile, Pablo Neruda who the real name was Ricardo Eliécer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto was the son of José del Carmen Reyes, a railway worker, and Rosa Basoalto. His mother died within a month of Neruda’s birth, and two years later the family moved to Temuco, a small town farther south in Chile, where his father remarried. He started to write poems when he was only 10 years old but he father was not agree with his passion to pursue the literature field and never encourage him to proceed in the field of poetry, which is why as a young poet, he published his works under the pseudonym Pablo Neruda, which he was legally to adopt in 1946. The political and poetic ceremony were the two events that has occupied mostly the life of Pablo Neruda. Many of the poems in is collection were about sorrow, heartbreaking or suffering. May be, he was just reflecting the experience of his life. The poet knew that publishing poems under his name will be a bi trouble for him since his father was opposed to that field. He has used a false name to publish a lot of wonderful and powerful poems. Poems with strong word, poems that gives hope to his fellow citizens also poems that speak his feelings. Throughout his collections of poems, three of them have really catch my attention, Keeping Quiet, Leaning into the Afternoons and the Body of a Woman which we going to have a full literary analysis. Poetry must be useful, it must change the world, says Neruda, these three poems when being analyzed have great life lesson that people can follow in order to make a positive change in their lives. Pablo Neruda’s poems were very well known among people as his poems were about emotions, romance with eroticism and the belongingness among people. Poetry was a form that Pablo Neruda has used to explain what was going wrong in his life and in the society in the literature form which got him in many troubles. I like Keeping Quiet this is a wonderful poem where the poet speaks about the power that we find in quietness. The poet mention: For once on the face of the earth, let’s not speak in any language; let’s stop for one second, and not move our arms so much If we were not so single-minded about keeping our lives moving, and for once could do nothing, perhaps a huge silence might interrupt this sadness Perhaps the earth can teach us as when everything seems dead and later proves to be alive. Now I’ll count up to twelve and you keep quiet and I will go. In this poem, the poet points out the importance of keeping Quiet. In this trouble world, we need sometimes to take the time to keep quiet and think well about our moves. I believe that the poet is trying to tell his readers that quiet they can think properly, discover their weakness, their strength. We live in a world of many languages, a world of confusion, Keeping Quiet is the only way for us to have a clear mind and think properly. Discover our abilities to accomplish thing that we will never think about to achieve when there is no Quietness. Keeping Quiet is the opportunity that we have to open deeply our mind and analyze our lives and the things that we have done. I can say that this is a state of clean up, where we throw all the stress, the anxieties, the depression and pick up our strength to face life. Pablo Neruda in this poem has clearly indicate to his readers the benefits of keeping Quiet. Leaning into the afternoons is another important poem where the poet sadly pours out his heart throughout his writing. The poet, Pablo Neruda sadly describes his feelings of being separated with the love of his life through magnificent oceanic and natural imagery when he has written: " Leaning into the afternoons I cast my sad nets towards your oceanic eyes. I send out red signals across your absent eyes that smell like the sea or the beach by a lighthouse. " Again, in this poem, the poet tries to get our attention concerning Quietness. Leaning into the afternoon when the sun goes down close to the ocean and listening the waves of the sea going back and front is a type of meditation where people can meditate clearly. He is far away from the noise, from the turbulence of the world and find a place of Reflection and meditations on the past in order to fix our future. “the Body of a Woman” a poem that Pablo Neruda has used to describes the body of a woman that he loved. He used these words in the poem by saying: Body of a woman, white hills, white thighs, you look like a world, lying in surrender Body of skin, of moss, of eager and firm milk. Oh, the goblets of the breast! Oh, the eyes of absence! Oh, the roses of the pubis! Oh, your voice, slow and sad! Body of a woman, I will persist in your grace. My thirst, my boundless desire, my shifting road! Even though this poem celebrates the ‘body of a woman’, it also carries an undertone of infinite longing – an existential awareness of the distance between lovers, as well as the ways in which we use love, sex, and ‘connection’ as a method of survival in this world. (genius.com). In the poem the Body of Woman, Pablo Neruda compare the Earth to woman and woman is the earth. This poem describes deeply Pablo Neruda's intense need to love, as he compares this milky white lover of his as important as the earth upon which we all live and the preservation of her and of love are causes worth fighting for. (collegelisted.com) Pablo Neruda has always used poems in order to express his feelings. The Body of a Woman was not excluded from the list. The poet, Pablo Neruda has used the body of a woman as a metaphor for the earth. He is saying that the woman is the earth - Mother Earth, giver of live. for this woman, that he loves. These three poems “Keeping Quiet”, “Leaning into the Afternoons” and “the Body of a Woman” have something in common, a connection within them. The poet throughout his writing always point out love and nature. These two things have been referred a lot by the poet in these three poems. Even though each of them has touch a different aspect of life, in which are relatable to everyone. we can gather from Pablo’s literature works the experienced he has with both good and bad things that happened in his life and which was reflected in his poetry. We had learned many significant things about Pablo from his poem’s, we had learned that Pablo had experienced a connection with love nature and politics. These emotions and feelings are intertwined with Pablo’s Poems “Keeping Quiet”, “Leaning into the afternoons” and “The body of a woman “are three wonderful poems that are interconnected and at the same time they have different view which make the readers very anxious to read them. The difference within them make their beauty, each poem is special in his own way.

This is the teacher correction. Overall, this essay has two major issues: focus and development. With respect to focus, my concern is that in many places it is unclear whether you are addressing any of the prompts (A, B, C) from the assignment description. You do touch on a few items from A and B, but shift between the two throughout the essay, with no clear map of what will happen laid out in the introduction. With respect to development, a potentially bigger concern is that the actual analysis carried out in the essay is extremely vague, making sweeping or shallow statements without any explanation of what in the poems leads you to believe what you argue about them and the poet. Answering the questions I pose in the comments should help on both of these fronts.

Can you please help me with the essay?

Much like a computer, the human brain may retain traces of information even after being deleted. These memory traces are physico-chemical manifestations of representations (memories) in the brain. While their existence remains disputed, how might the existence of memory traces bear on developing new procedural and declarative memories? Why is this significant for understanding human cognition?
