I wrote my first poem in third grade. It was an acrostic poem I had named SCARY. I wrote scary about anxiety a word I did not have in my vocabulary at nine. Poetry became my crutch for emotions. It was like I had broken a leg that refused to heal. It felt fine some days even normal but others it was an excruciating pain like it had just shattered all over. I was ashes blowing off a burnt log, decaying slowly. Poetry gave me a voice to describe the beauty of staring at a sunflower’s bright smile on

that supports that Crane-man is talented is: "The crutch. Sure enough, after handing Tree-ear the bowls to wash, Crane-man sat down with his knife and a sturdy straight branch and began to whittle a new crutch". This example shows how skilled Crane-man is.

Most modern-day people even with more intelligence and strength cannot make a crutch like crane-man does. Another example from the

legs, or gait. When an individual's ability to withstand weight with the affected limb improves, some experts recommend using a single crutch on the side opposite the injury.

Williams symbolises the root of Brick’s isolation through the marital bed and through Brick’s crutch.

An example of one of Crane-man’s many talents is on page 34, where it says "Crane-man sat down with his knife and a sturdy straight branch and began to whittle a new crutch.” This example supports that Crane-man is talented because it shows that Crane-man has the skill to know how to make a new crutch for himself. Another passage that supports the answer is on pg 100, where it states "Crane-man began to weave the container under the eaves of Min's house.” This quote shows that Crane-man

In today's society, the perception of masculinity has been reinvented much like many other social issues. Studies show older generations still believe in the idea of masculinity whilst newer generations are breaking away from this very restrictive mold. William Shakespeare's work, Romeo and Juliet, presents readers with the huge part masculinity plays within society due to the characters

The White Advantage “Explaining White Privilege” by Tim Wise was more or less a defense of a more detailed argument on the subject of white advantages based solely on race. Tim Wise did provide several examples from several studies that did explain his theory as it was intended and how it was received.

The author was trying very hard, not only to defend his article

In conclusion, even though soft addictions are out there, it’s important to realize the value of the people in our lives. Whether

Tennessee Williams critically acclaimed play Cat On a Hot Tin Roof explores the mendacity that arises from the wealth and greed of the Pollitt family in the 1950s as well as the damage it causes to the relationship between husband and wife and father and son. The damaged relationships and mendacity by wealth are reflected throughout the adaptations of the play, particularly in the film directed by Richard Brooks.

Williams uses Brick’s crutch to display his emotional distance from others, though also his dependency on alcohol to somewhat deal with reality. The film 's resolution occurs when Brick abandons the prop in the climax of the film. His uncanny refusal of alcohol in the film and his neglect of his crutch is the indicator of his atonement.

out that the feud between the Capulets and Montagues is so deep that the servants will even fight. Another example of this is in the first fight, in Act 1 scene 1, when Capulet sees the fighting and asks for his long sword, his wife states “A crutch, a crutch! Why call you for a sword?” (1.1.78-79), and reminds him he is getting older and should not join the quarrel which he does anyway.

disease are looking for a name to call it. Addiction is a complicated issue that does not have an easy answer. We should not be content with calling it a disease. Addiction is a problem nonetheless, but considering it as a disease may be used as a crutch. As well as pushing the idea that you can not overcome it. I have seen with my own eyes with family members overcoming drugs and or alcohol under their own will power. A disease needs constant treatment, and you don 't always win. The world we portray
