A Romantic work has one or more of the following characteristics: an emphasis on feeling and imagination; a love of nature; a belief in individual and common man; and interest in the past ，the unusual ，the unfamiliar, the bizarre or picturesque^ a revolt against authority or tradition. It expresses the ideology and sentiment of the classes and strata that were dissatisfied with the development of capitalism.

Two famous odes are Percy Bysshe Shelley^s “ Ode to the West wind” and John Keats's Ode on a Grecian Urn•”3.From Latin pastor, a shepherd. The first pastoral poet was Theocritus, a Greek of the 3rd century B.C. The pastoral was especially popular in Europe from the 14th through the 18th centuries, with some fine examples still written in England in the 19th century. The pastoral mode is self-reflexive. Typically the poet echoes the conventions of earlier pastorals in order to put "the complex into the simple畀as William Empson observed in Some Versions of Pastoral (1935). The poem is not really about shepherds，but about the complex society the poet and readers inhabit.4.A kind of writing holds up to ridicule or contempt the weaknesses and wrongdoings of individuals^ groups, institutions, or humanity in general. The aim of satirists is to set a moral standard for society, and they attempt to persuade the reader to see their point of view through the force of laughter. The most famous satirical work in English literature is Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels.5.A concrete picture, either literally descriptive, as in "Red roses covered the white wall/1 or figurative, as in "She is a rose畀each carrying a sensual and emotive connotation. A figurative image may be an analogy, metaphor, simile, personification^ or the like.
