In war Billy likes to worry a lot, he thinks about the what ifs and just wants to go home and in a poem called “care” a soldier dad does the same thing to calm his crying daughter and himself by hoping that they can return in safety. War conjures a myriad of images, opinions, experiences, and streak realities. Of the many insights about war offered by Kurt Vonnegut in Slaughterhouse five, the most profound is that war is a terrifying experience and the person that is in the war just wants to be home and safe. Similarly, in Santos Perez’s care, the observation that he wants to be home and safe with his daughter provokes the reader to understand that war is awful and when someone is in war all they want to do is go home and be safe. However,

In the songs “Song to the Siren” by Tim Buckley and “Sirens Song” by Miss May I, the allusion to the Siren song and the Sirens has the effect of influencing the reader into feeling sympathetic for men that bear losses, are powerless, and are forced to make emotionally challenging decisions due to deadly women. The way information is presented in these songs leads to readers feeling sorry for men in these situations. Tim Buckley sings “Now my foolish boat is leaning/ broken lovelorn on your rocks” in “Song to the Siren” (Buckley). Buckley is singing about man’s symbolic boat that was broken due to a woman. This allusion relates to the outcome many sailors faced when moving past the alluring Sirens.

But then he gave in anyway. As he prioritizes his own wants, Odysseus exposes his egotistical motives--to indulge himself although his wife agonizes over his disappearance. When Odysseus finally reunites with his wife, he empathizes with her grief, yet his hypocrisy is evident, as “he lay with her [Calypso] each night”. His actions show his true identity: he is irresolute, inauthentic, and

1. In the short narrative “The Haunted Boy” by Carson McCullers, Hugh Brown overcomes the terrors of his haunting past by succumbing to the fears brought on by a horrifying experience that leaves him broken with feelings of abandonment: “…knew something was finished… never cry again… no longer a haunted boy, now that he was glad somehow, and not afraid” (682). The thought of being alone terrifies Hugh and reveals the scars he has from his mother’s attempt to kill herself. Since he finds her on the bathroom floor one day after school alone he insists John Laney stay. He lies, begs, and manipulates Laney but is unsuccessful in his attempts.

Paul Laurence Dunbar’s Poem “Life’s Tragedy” depicts Dunbar’s hardships in his life, but desiring to be on top. Alfred Edward Houseman’s poem “Be still, My Soul, Be Still” asks the reader to pause and explore their souls to know what true love is and experience the sensation coming from the heart. Both poems have a sorrowful tone, with vivid imagery and shifts through content. The common scheme of both works is exploring your own life and self-reflect upon your thoughts. “Life’s Tragedy” shifts around Paul Dunbar’s life which is broken down to how he sees misery, how his life shifts through tragic stages and how he depicts it.

My personal dragons Anyone can relate to the struggles and the conflict that Beowulf faces throughout his journey to save Hrothgar and his men. There are so many examples of good vs evil in my life and I can relate to his daily struggles as well. For example, Beowulf had to listen to Unferth, who thought completely terrible of him. Unferth pointed out that “Beowulf could not even win a swim match, so why should he be trying to save us?” In the same way, throughout life I believe people will eventually hear or do the identical thing; they can cause less self-worth and confidence in someone, somewhere. People can become so prude if they feel like they have to have help, which is the reason for Unferths ridiculous actions.

Eric is put into his dissociative state because of the death of his wife and Scout is believed to be a reincarnation of Clio. Throughout the novel, we are motivated to believe that in Eric’s mind the relationship between himself and Scout is not connected to the relationship he had with Clio. The reader’s assumptions are much different from this relationship and is finally supported at the start of chapter thirty-four where the Ludovician attacks the boat and as Eric yells out “Scout” while searching for her, his mind accepts the reality of everything “propping [him]self up against the sloping cabin, quietly, wet with sobbing tears, “Clio.”” (415). At this point it is confirmed that Scout and Clio and one in the same and that this is Eric reimagining Clio as Scout. We also see that Eric is finally able to let go of his grief but that this was not possible without his relationship with Scout and through her is able to let go of his grief and move on from the

He uses repetition to emphasize words that are important in his writing and to express his theme. Using figurative languages such as symbols and metaphors and combining it with musical devices like repetition, allows Dylan convey the theme of the poem, which is to stir up anger and rage to fight against mortality. Dylan practices the use of metaphors to help provoke anger in his poem. By using metaphors, he is able to say something that has more meaning than using singular words. For instance, when he writes in the first stanza, “Do not go gentle into that good night” (1), and “dying of the light” (3), whenever he says “good night” or “light,” it is a metaphor for death and life.
