Literary Analysis
My theme, about dreaming or about dreams, connects to all of the pieces I have chosen for this portfolio. All these pieces I choose for this theme relates to the dreams in their own way. But they all have one thing in common, of course its about dreaming, but also dreams comes true by you having to work for it. Or how you can find yourself in one. For example, in the poem, The Dream by Edward Fitzgerald, it talks about how the writer found themselves by simply dreaming. The second poem, called The Dreams by Eugene Field is about a father and son dream. The father dreams about the past, which brings him to tears while the son dreams about the future which brings himself to excitement. The last poem called A Dream by Helen Hunt talks about the struggle him going into heaven. The writer not feeling accepted from God and the angles starts to think he doesn't belong there. You can read a further literary analysis if you scroll below for the three poems I just shared with you. So all in all, all these poems talk about dreams in various ways.

Prose piece 1
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/10/science/10tier.html?_r=1
This prose piece talks about what dreams mean to others. Some said it's just the brains response to random impulses, while others said dreams reveal unconscious emotions.Meaning you don't really feel it when your awake, but when your dreaming you feel all these emotions that just come out.

Poem 3 Analysis
The dream by Edward Fitzgerald (http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/edward_fitzgerald/poems/8159.html)
A dream it was in which I found myself.
And you that hail me now, then hailed me king,
In a brave palace that was all my own,
Within, and all without it, mine; until,
Drunk with excess of majesty and pride,
Methought I towered so big and swelled so wide
That of myself I burst the glittering bubble
Which my ambition had about me blown,
And all again was darkness. Such a dream
As this, in which I may be walking now,
Dispensing solemn justice to you shadows,
Who make believe to listen; but anon
Kings, princes, captains, warriors, plume and steel,
Aye, even with all your airy theatre,
May flit into the air you seem to rend
With acclamations, leaving me to wake
In the dark tower; or dreaming that I wake
From this that waking is; or this and that,
Both waking and both dreaming; such a doubt
Confounds and clouds our moral life about.
But whether wake or dreaming, this I know,
How dreamwise human glories come and go;
Whose momentary tenure not to break,
Walking as one who knows he soon may wake,
So fairly carry the full cup, so well
Disordered insolence and passion quell,
That there be nothing after to upbraid
Dreamer or doer in the part he played;
Whether tomorrow's dawn shall break the spell,
Or the last trumpet of the Eternal Day,
When dreaming, with the night, shall pass away.
Analysis: When I first read this poem, I thought like many other poems, this is very confusing. I realized in this poem that the writer is actually talking about their dream, and in this dream the writer found themselves. For evocative language, something that stood out to me was the line "When dreaming, with the night, shall pass away" I think this line stood out to me the most because I really liked the way it sounded. It sounded nice and soothing, making me want to dream. As for figurative comparison, the line "drunk with excess of majesty and pride" is an example. Its using the word "drunk" to show that there overwhelmed with majesty and pride. The big idea of this poem is that while they were dreaming, they found their true selves.
