Poem Analysis: The Cities Inside Us

The reason for Clint Smith is very well formulated is because of his choice of words. He use for example: profoundly, melanin synonymous, determined. But at the same time his way of telling this poem, makes it so special and fascinating, as a reader you are being drawn in to his childhood, his world, just by the thing he says. If you only look at the text, you will actually fell that same as if you hear him saying it out loud.

We do not let the societal streetlights dictate our every action, as sometimes the red stoplight obstructs the very path to self-discovery. In his short story “Glass Roses”, Alden Nowlan explores the idea between conforming to society demands or embracing

How many times have you tried to remember something from a long time ago, from could not seem to recall it? What if you could not remember anything from the past except for what you are made to remember? This is how life is for Jonas, in Lois Lowry’s The Giver. He only knows what he is told. He lives in a society where everything in the same, and no one is discriminated against.

But, nature does not exclude humans, human excludes themselves from nature. Within the “mists of [the] chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand and one items to be allowed for”(277). He uses clouds and storms and quicksands to convey that civilized life includes the same negativity included in the connotation of those conditions, but nonetheless, those too are apart of nature. The purpose of utilizing imagery is so evoke images people already have to connect with them on that level to make them understand that they must find a harmony and balance in the world. So, in order to restore order within one’s individual life, one must defy the social norms that distance themselves from nature to find harmony with it.

So between the two poems, the messages that they are trying to express are both about the equality, but offer and show different sides of it. In conclusion, using tone, figures of speech and the theme of the poems Tableau and Incident by Countee Cullen all show equality and how much it takes to get there. Both poems use different tone, figures of speech, and theme to show equality. Without using tone the readers would not know how it felt to be treated in this kind of way. Figures of speech were used without them readers wouldn’t be able to use imagery and be able to imagine what the story really looks like.

Something that we need to never forget is that we are, “Unforgettable, that’s what you are” (Kidd). I like this quote because I believe that if someone acts as themselves all the time and is not constantly following the influences of others and isn't always dependant on others that people will remember that. For example if you see a group of people walking down the street

Reading resistance literature need an open mind. The reader does his or her best to understand things according to the view of the author and it is not easy for some people to agree with this point of view. Sometimes, the reader can not have a particular feeling , but the author use some descriptive words for showing emotions which he wants to present. If we study this issue carefully, we find that this issue is popular and prevalent everywhere throughout literature without taking some important points into account. Authors have a good chance and freedom to express themselves in different ways because of the open definition of resistance as if the definition of resistance literature is Specified this would limit the author’s ability

Through the poem invictus by William Ernest Henley conveys that do not give up fight to the end. The use of diction expresses this theme because it shows the type of words he uses. The speaker states, “Beyond this place of Horror of the shade/ And yet the menace of the year”

New Criticism attracts many readers to its methods by appealing to them with simple steps in order to criticize any work of literature. According to Steven Lynn it “focuses attention on the work itself, not the reader or the author or anything else” (21). It dismisses the use of all outside sources, asserting that the only way to truly analyze a poem efficiently is to focus purely on the poem. However, my New Criticism approach will include counterparts between the text and historical contexts, such as the author’s life. For this I chose to analyze the poem “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke.

In a different environment where no one can really put a label on you, especially if you are alone, it is probable that certain issues or aspects of one’s personality, which would have otherwise remained dormant, manifest themselves, allowing you to be “born again”. In this situation, you don’t live in the past or the future, but in the present where it is almost impossible for you to ignore your inner self, biases, values, and opinions. The thought of traveling alone usually expresses a feeling of loneliness, but in reality being on your own encourages you to learn and understand yourself in ways that cannot be achieved by staying in your habitual territory. This can occur because of many factors including, but not limited to individuals around us and their culture.

People are taught to learn from their mistakes but what do you learn from if there are none? If people are not getting in trouble and you are not getting any consequences for certain things then what is going to stop people from doing them. Littering and speeding is going to become more and more acceptable and the world is going to become dirtier and more people are going to get hurt or die from crashes. That is just two of the things just imagine if people did not have any of these minor offenses, our once beautiful nation might turn into complete anarchy. Secondly people need to not look at these as more of a warning.

Football Life Imagine being able to do the career you’ve always wanted to do. I want to be a football player as my career. You should learn the skills involved with your position. A coach has a scheme that you have to train at that position(E1).Understand what exactly you are asked to do to help the team succeed. You have to learn the plays and what you do during that play(E2).You must adhere to protocals and policies set forth by the organization.

Another is less trouble. You would be is less trouble when being with others. Like when Equality was going to the house of scholars liberty was hiding and following him. Liberty should be able to walk on the street with someone without being in trouble. We could do that any time of the night without getting into trouble, as long as we are being good.

These body cameras protect the truth with all officers. As the victims step on the court what many don’t know is the truth is carried by officers at all times. These will be supporting any court trail’s if other people have videos it does not have a chance to beat the body cameras. The point of these cameras is so that nothing really bad goes wrong and so officers won’t be accused of police brutality. All this is positive for any law enforcement, nobody will be lying about anything.

By keeping labels private, the labels will be only with the individual and will not be centralized and collective. If the labels are not centralized and collective, they will cease to exist, inviting tolerance and equality. Another solution which should be combined with the prior is the analyzing of history to learn from mistakes made. As every day turns, history grows, and with it are the things that can be learned. Much can be learned from history and if every mistake exhibited was never exhibited again, the world as a whole would be much better.
