Reading this poem about Cleofilas life was very heartbreaking. I feel like it’s important for people to understand that when anyone tells a person something important to them they should take it from the heart. When she was young, her dad told her he would never abandon her but he did. It was devastating for me to see that because her own father telling her this which means she will always remember what he said but in reality he lied. It’s just hard to go through life remembering someone important telling you a message that ends up not existing. It reminded me of my life when I was a child. My cousin Natalie always told me we was going to be best friends because our bond was so strong. Now it’s not the same as before the bond is broken and it makes me sad because I truly do miss the strong bond we had. …show more content…
She doesn’t realize what she's doing because she doesn’t know what to do with herself and her husband because the baby is what making them be together. I find it disrespectful and absolutely wrong when a guy causes abuse to a woman. There’s no reason for men to be putting their anger on women like that, it’s not the correct way to solve any issues. Cleofilas is a victim of domestic violence because of her husband. This all started after marriage that’s why I think Juan was using her. It blew my mind how she didn’t do anything after getting hit so hard by her husband. I feel like she needed to leave the house and look for help because no women would still be with their man if this happened to them. It’s crazy how she still put up with him. He’s a horrible man, he doesn't show her love instead he treats her like garbage. No women don’t deserve guys like this, she seems afraid to leave him because she isn’t aware of her actions. I don’t like how she pushes herself saying why she loves him when she really doesn’t. Sadly I’ve noticed that she doesn’t have freedom unlike other
The poetry that Catullus wrote shows that he was a sentimental, romantic man. In Catullus poems he expresses his love towards Lesbia and his preciseness of getting Lesbia to love him back. After being rejected by Lesbia it deeply hurts him since he shows her so much affection but only speaks ill of him. Catullus is very passionate and is obsessed with kissing, in “Catullus 16” he speaks of getting thousands and thousands of kisses from his lover. Even though he is passionate and sentimental, he is no pansy.
The poems “Richard Cory” by Edward Arlington Robinson and “The Bishop of Atlanta” by Sen. Julian Bond are both timeless. When I read these poems, I was immediately transported into the poets’ visions. The “Cory” poem was written in 1897, but still could be used to describe someone we know today. “The Bishop” poem was written about the late, great Ray Charles, a masterful musician. There are some similarities in these poems, but vast differences.
In the short story “Lysandra’s Poem”, by Budge Wilson, Lysandra is justified in taking revenge on Elaine. This is because Elaine was never a good friend to begin with. Elaine mentions that Lysandra was always made fun of as a child, being given the nickname “Pigeon-Toed Cochrane”. Elaine had never stood up for Lysandra, not even once. If they truly were best friends, Elaine would have tried to stand up for Lysandra.
I felt terrible growing up as a kid seeing my mother being the father of this family, I always told my mother to let him go, but she never listened and always said “you need a father in your life no matter what the circumstance is”. I tried my best to convince her, but she still kept my father. The reason why this poem is similar to my life is because the piano tuners wife and I have almost been through the same situation and how the women and I craved for improvement. The piano tuners wife finally understands who her husband really is and myself growing up seeing my father change. In conclusion we both started to learn what our circumstances are and how it impacted our

In the short story, “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway, Hemingway from the start makes us draw out our own conclusions and does not give us a great deal of information. For example, we are only told about two characters, an American man and a girl who are waiting for their train to arrive. Other than this, we are not told what relationship the characters share together or where their final destination is. The protagonist who is referred to as “the girl” is in the middle of a tragic situation which can take a turn for the best or the worst and her partner, the “American man” is not helping but making the situation more heated.
The poem feels very personal, as if the reader is reading a private letter between two dear friends, perhaps due to the fact that Lanyer uses
