Tu Fu Poetry
In Tu Fu's Poems "Night thoughts Afloat" and "Jade flower palace" contains a similaritie in both poems, they both share a very melancholic mood. However the tone in "Jade flower palace" is very different from "Night thoughts Afloat". The tone of "Jade flower palace" is mysterious and wonderous. The tone in "Night thoughts Afloat" is more of a depressed tone because the poet in the poem is not as well known as others so he is left alone. "Oh, where’s my name among the poets?Official rank?
“Retired for ill-health.”"(Tu Fu "Night thoughts Afloat" 9-12) the setting of the poem is alone under the night sky. The imagery used depicts a clear breezy night. "By bent grasses
in a gentle wind
Under straight mast
I’m alone tonight"(Tu Fu 1-4)
The tone of "Jade flower palace" is more of a curious tone where the character sits at the entrance of a once great palace where the setting takes place. The imagery in the poem was vividly described, "There are Green ghost fires in the black rooms."(Tu Fu "Jade Flower Palace" 5-6)

English has to be one of the hardest languages to understand. Read the paragraph below and try to understand the meaning.
Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; Subsequently the second member of the team performed a self rotational translation oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.
In plain English what does this translate to?
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after!
