It is after two paragraphs exploring notions of man’s cosmic connection that Sagan asserts his first claim in the essay, “plainly there is no way back… we are stuck with science” (1). The compassionate tone persists even in assertions, as seen through the use of first person. More compassionate is the gentle acknowledgement of the pseudoscience appeal. “Yes, the world would be a more interesting place if there were UFOs lurking in the deep waters off Bermuda… or if our dreams could, more often than can be explained by chance and our knowledge of the world, accurately foretell the future” (1). This series of sentences ends the introduction.

By nature, shorter poems are more densely packed with cues and devices because authors cannot express their intended message over the sweeping length of a poem but rather they must be more concise and creative. A poet may write a shorter poem to juxtapose a simple surface message to a more meaningful deeper message. Thus, complexity and artistic value are unrelated to length, but rather, they are developed through masterful writing. “Good Times” by Lucille Clifton embodies the double-edged sword of complex storytelling within a short poem, as she identifies the speaker 's occasional good memories to develop an image of the speaker’s typical abject life. The short poem is crafted with patterns of repetition, for there are so few lines to fit meaningful insight into.

In his pom entitled “Evening Hawk”, Robert Penn Warren characterizes human nature by a transition between the flight of the hawk during the day and that of the bat, or the “Evening Hawk” during the night. The hawk, as it soars in daylight, portrays how humans appear in clear light of their peers, while the bat, cruising the night sky, symbolizes what humans hide within themselves. Warren effectively expresses the meaning of this poem and its serious mood by the use of diction and imagery to appeal to the reader’s perception of sight and sound. Throughout the first part of the poem, Warren describes the journey of the hawk in the daytime to symbolize how one’s character may seem to other beings.

As life persists, humans continue to make the same mistakes that we have been making for many years. The poem “Evening Hawk” by Robert Penn Warren is about the continuous errors of humanity, which is forgotten in the past, as death keeps approaching and society progresses. The poet uses imagery, diction, symbolism, and other figurative language devices throughout the poem to convey the dark mood and deeper meaning of history and death in the poem. The poem begins with a beautiful scene of the vast mountains and a hawk flying through it.

Tim Winton’s book, The Turning, shows the weight of the past many different ways. Nearly every story touched on the theme. Aquifer and Small Mercies were two of those stories and he used the symbols of the water cycle, the pool, bones, and the abortion to do

1. In "High Tide in Tucson" Kingsolver pressures on the thought that things never go to arrange however they never quit changing and with this consistent change one must adjust to the earth around us. We must adjust to the adjustment in tide and simply float along with those tides. 2. In "Creation Stories" the author raises the prospect that a few individuals are shyer than others and they like to live like a recluse crab inside their home. Life is intriguing however not when one stays home throughout the day, one must go out to get the chance to experience life and all its renown.

Somewhere we let go of hot gorilla’s paw. Somewhere we turned in our carnivore’s teeth and started chewing blades of grass…we are the creatures that know and know too much. ’”(Bradbury 196) , “filled with summer flesh...a woman… He wanted to go away from here. ”(26)and, “ The crescent moon I have marked on the bullet is not a crescent moon.

Author, Robert Penn Warren, in his poem Evening Hawk, he portrays how mankind is ignorant of their life being. Warren’s purpose is to illustrate the means of life. He does so by adopting a melancholic tone in order to obtain the readers attention of humanity’s mistakes.

Time is continuous and so are human mistakes, but at the end of the day everybody will be judged.

Over the last decade, we have seen pioneers like Elon Musk change how we view space travel. Mark Zuckerberg has revolutionized how people communicate and connect around the world. Today, we are experiencing our own version of the Renaissance. We will continue to see groundbreaking discoveries would make history and change the course of humankind.

He had only seen and heard the world as it always was: no boundaries, only transitions through all distances and time” (Silko 229). The stories that Tayo has been told, the stories that Silko tells, they all

Time is a constant stream of events unfolding in an asymmetrical pattern. Each event can serve as a precondition for events to follow. Humans have learned from their mistakes just as they have learned from their accomplishments. After several outbreaks of smallpox and influenza, vaccines were developed. After living for years as nomads, people began to develop highly organized societies that allow residents to live in one area for a longer amount of time.

This is very important because it is said that the higher up you are on a platform, the more important you look; just like God.

By hiding the moon, which can be used to mark the passage of time with its cyclical phases, time itself becomes as equally amorphous as the cloud. Moreover, Yeats himself understood, in “The Symbolism of Poetry”, the moon to carry “memories” mixed with “her ancient names and meanings” (380). Thus, in hiding the moon, erotic love plunges the speaker and his lover into a world where histories, bearing the moon’s “ancient names and meanings”, are obscured, situating them in a world of their own. In the poem itself, time passes ambiguously. The poem is written largely in the past tense, with the title “[m]emory of [y]outh” indicating the speaker is aged and reflecting on the erotic love, as “moments passed” during his youth.

In history, we learn about many different events that have changed the world. But which events had the most impact? These events have altered the way we live our daily lives and without them, the world wouldn’t be the same. The most important events to impact the world was the invention of the Gutenberg printing press, the effects of World War 1, and the fabrication of the internet.
