A Race Of Sound Gregory Corso Summary

282 Words2 Pages

Response to “A Race of Sound” by Gregory Corso Reading this poem made me think of my brother, Milo. I can easily connect this poem to him because he is very loud, especially when he doesn’t get what he wants. Recently, my brother keeps on going in my room, I scream at him and tell my parents that he’s in my room and they told him to get out or they would take his tablet away. Eventually, he got out of my room but not before his tablet got taken away. He threw a huge tantrum and he was screaming and crying as loud as he could and he was saying all of these rude things to our parents. I believe that if he was competing in a race of sound then he would’ve easily won. I like it when the author builds all the excitement between the contestants

Brent Staples strongly proved something mystical about the world on how many people react to black people in public spaces.

  • Anthony Browne Voices In The Park Analysis

    135 Words  | 1 Pages

    The image above is from the post modern picture book ‘Voices in the park’ by Anthony Browne. Browne’s picture book uses various meta-fictive devices such as, a non-traditional plot arrangement, a purposeful interplay between image and text to position the reader thus, allowing for collaboration in determining the text’s meaning (Anstey, 2002). The result of this consequently is a polyphonic narrative that explores a single outing to the park from four individual perspectives; the upper class mother, the despondent single father, the mother’s educated but lonely son Charles and the father’s optimistic daughter named Smudge. This image is located in Charles’ portion or the third voice within the book.

    “ The Sounds of Silence” by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel presents a deep understanding and meaning of the topic that people lack the ability to communicate.
