Abstract
This essay provides an analysis of Matthew Arnold's haunting poem "Dover Beach." It examines the way in which the internal structure and rhythm of the poem, literary devices such as anaphora, alliteration, and assonance, and the symbolic images of the land and sea interrelate. The overall result is a profoundly melancholy tone that mirrors Arnold's theme that darker currents of despair flow beneath even the most placid of facades.
From the Paper
"Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" (1851) centers on the image of the moonlit waters of the English Channel, an image that transcends its immediate physical setting to reflect broader themes of human struggle and private grief. In the mind of the poem's speaker, the ebb and flow of the tides come to symbolize much more than simply the pull of Diana's orb on Neptune's waters. The rhythm of the tides reflects the oscillation of the speaker's emotions, which range from peace and tranquility to passion and joy and finally to the overarching sentiments of melancholy and despair. The structure of the poem itself mirrors this ebb and flow of emotional currents, and its symbolic imagery builds throughout to culminate in the theme that for the speaker, all things bright and beautiful in this world merely belie darker currents of destruction, violence, chaos, and sorrow."

Abstract
"Matthew Arnold, in "Dover Beach" (1848?), and Gerard Manley Hopkins, in "God's Grandeur" (1877), are both concerned with the question of the presence of God or religious faith in the world.
From the Paper
"Matthew Arnold, in "Dover Beach" (1848?), and Gerard Manley Hopkins, in "God's Grandeur" (1877), are both concerned with the question of the presence of God or religious faith in the world. Neither poet actually asks a question, however, as Arnold sees the "Sea of Faith" withdrawing from the world, while Hopkins enthusiastically perceives God's presence in everything around him. Both poets, however, see human failure to appreciate God as part of the problem of their own times. But where Arnold sees the only option as withdrawal from a world with neither "certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain", Hopkins regrets the blindness of human beings who have come to dissociate themselves from God, even though He is always there in the world. A comparison of the two poems demonstrates not only the difference in their views of religion but the manner in which these ..."

From the Paper
"When looking into the poem ?Dover Beach,? by Matthew Arnold, one can choose not to see the great, white cliffs standing eerily silent in the moonlight, the ancient, icy waves approaching and retreating on the pebbled shore, and even the two figures gazing out the window at the boundless beauty of the scene. However, it is difficult to ignore the human theme of being swept about in the undertow of social change."

Abstract
An analysis of Matthew Arnold's poem " Dover Beach". The author discusses the writer's use of symbolism and the effectiveness of the writer's style of alluding to other works.
From the paper:
"Matthew Arnold?s ?Dover Beach? (Arnold 397) is a thirty-seven line, five-stanza poem first published in 1867. In ?Dover Beach? the speaker looks out over the cliffs of Dover and laments about the sadness of humanity and humanity?s loss of faith. I believe ?Dover Beach? is a poem that uses allusion extensively and heavily draws on other works to fully explain the loss of faith that the speaker sees in the world."

From the Paper
"In 'Dover Beach' Matthew Arnold introduces the dominant image in the first line of the poem 'the sea is calm tonight'. The sea is both a symbol and a metaphor referencing the eternal note of sadness as well as the Sea of Faith. The poem in essence reflects the religious philosophy and the loneliness and isolation that Arnold is said by critics including John S. Reist, to have experienced Arnold's belief that the human condition in his own era ... "

Abstract
This paper compares the way the poems, "Dover Beach", by Matthew Arnold, and "Dover Bitch", by Anthony Hech, treat the subject of love. The paper explains that, while both poems are about love, the type of love each poem is describing is quite different. The paper goes on to discuss the different tones in the poems, which render the poems' descriptions of love very differently. Also discussed is how Hecht makes his poem, "Dover Bitch", a commentary about the confusing desire for love by satirizing Arnold's poem, "Dover Beach".
From the Paper
"?Dover Beach? by Matthew Arnold and ?Dover Bitch? by Anthony Hecht are poems that on the surface are based on the same subject--love. Though both poems are about love, the poems are not alike. The love that Matthew Arnold describes is a serious one, while the love that Hecht describes is, arguably, not love at all, but simply desire. ?Dover Bitch? uses the ?Dover Beach? as a platform to speak of love in a tone that is crass and hollow feeling?a feeling that has more to do with satisfying a physical desire than with satisfying an emotional desire. Both poets achieve their goals through the use of different tones."

Abstract
This paper details the rise, fall and rise again of the Beach Boys, one of the most influential rock bands in the U.S. This paper delves into the birth of the Beach Boys which took place in Hawthorne, California in 1961. The original members were brothers, Brian, Carl and Dennis Wilson, cousin Mike Love and Al Jardine. The Beach Boys are known for having invented "California Rock," a style that celebrated and idealized California teen life, which was comprised of surfing, driving and dating. This writer of this paper cites many of the band's musical hits, including "Surfin' Safari," released in 1962, "I Get Around," "Fun, Fun, Fun" and "Help Me, Rhonda." In 1968, the Beach Boys became the first American rock band to perform in Russia. This paper also delves into the personal lives of the band members, including Brian Wilson's mental state. During the band's rise to fame, Wilson's ambitions, neuroses and drug intake were on the rise and negatively affecting the band. This paper examines the various reasons behind the band's five year hiatus which began in 1970 and its eventual re-grouping in the 1980s. Despite the positive reviews surrounding the comeback of the Beach Boys, the 1980s would prove to be anything but positive for the band. This paper also touches on the various internal conflicts between the band members. The writer contends and explains why the essence of the band is still popular today.
From the Paper
"Despite the positive comeback, the eighties would be a decade that would prove to be anything but easy and musical. Carl Wilson quit the band to work on his solo career. According to Romanowski, he was the one band member that opposed how the band was reverting to a nostalgic sound instead of moving forward. Romanowski maintains that the band was indeed an "oldies-but-goodies act, albeit an extraordinarily successful one." In 1983, Wilson joined the band again but the year was marked with tragedy as brother Carl drowned. After a short while, Brian left the group again and the band enjoyed another success with the single "Kokomo" without him. In the meantime, Wilson's solo effort did not sell well and in 1994, he was touring with the band again. More troubles lay ahead, however, as Love sued Wilson for defamation of character in 1994."
