in the poem, The Harlem Dancer, there is a shift in tone about half way through. in the first half the author uses imagery to create a light mood. we imagine her voice as "blended flutes" which is soothing and helps create the light mood. also the imagery of her dancing and singing "gracefully and calm" creates the light and relaxed mood. the tone shifts to more of a hectic and drunk tone with the image of passing through a storm and the "wine-flushed" eyes "that devoured her shape". this imagery creates this more hectic ad drunk tone in the second half of the poem.
2) I agree with the quote "Art is the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in." by Amy Lowell. I think that art is a desire to express oneself. whether its painting or sculpting or whatever you want to do. Art is how people express themselves.
