Paul Reveres Ride
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was a nineteenth century poet whose popularity can not be matched. ... One work that shows evidence of his poetic accomplishments is "Paul Reveres Ride." "Paul Reveres Ride," for most Americans, makes the historical Paul Revere almost literally indistinguishable from Longfellows mystical creation. ...
In "Paul Reveres Ride," Longfellow uses the theme of time to capture the intensity of this work. The outcome of "Paul Reveres Ride" is well known; therefore, Longfellow had to capture the attention of readers by cleverly using the concept of time. In this work, Paul Revere is racing against time to warn the people of a peril that is heading their way. ... Time resembles death in such a way that if time were to beat Paul Revere, then Death would come to the people of America. Longfellow also uses time in the form of a date to help the reader remember the important achievements of Paul Revere. ... ) The implicit message of the line is clear: Paul Reveres achievements were of such singular importance that we must learn the date by heart and teach it to posterity.
