Robert Hayden’s poem there are a few lines that are crucial to the understanding of the speaker’s tone, thoughts and feelings and to the understanding of the poem as a whole. I have found the following words and phrases to be the most important: “Sundays”, “my father”, “blueblack cold”, “cracked hands”, “labor”, “No one ever thanked him”, “cold splintering, breaking”, “chronic angers”, “indifferently”, “love’s austere” and “lonely offices”. From simply reading through these words, one can already

In Walt Whitman's poem Song to Myself, he stresses the importance of people, but more specifically himself. This of one of egocentric poems in human history as he begins with "I celebrate myself" (1:1). In some form or another, Whitman elaborates on Me, Myself, and I in all fifty-two sections of the poem. He mentions that "Welcome is every organ and attribute of me, and of any man hearty and clean, / Not an inch is vile, and none shall be less familiar/ than the rest" (5:20-23). But as he is enjoying

Since the dawn of time, people have been longing for different reasons. Some examples are for love, for peace, or even maybe longing for the chance to go back to their family roots. This cycle of human emotion will never end and that is why numerous poems are written for expression of these repressed feelings. One example of an expression of repression is the beautiful poem “Upon Hearing Tagalog” by Fatima Lim-Wilson. The poem’s tone, word-choice, and even the figurative language used contribute

distressing. For some reason unpleasant childhood memories are easier to recall than the pleasant ones. In both poems “Zimmer in Grade School”, by Paul Zimmer and “Those Winter Sundays”, by Robert Hayden, speakers express their childhood memories. The speaker in “Zimmer in Grade School”, addresses the unpleasant memories of his grade school. While the speaker in “Those Winter Sundays”, expresses remorse and repentance towards his hard working father who was not appreciated enough during his childhood. Even

Many authors utilize imagery to allow the reader to engage in and understand their works. In Robert Frost’s “Birches,” there are several instances where the poem contains heavy usage of imagery for this purpose. The meaning of the poem “Birches” is very under-the-surface— the entire poem focuses on bent birches— too vague for the central purpose to be clear and solid. However, the poem’s copious examples of imagery enable the audience to grasp the scenery that Frost is attempting to describe. In

Since the existence of human beings, there have been creation myths to explain how life existed on the planet. These creation myths have a huge impact on how people view utopia. Nearly every culture or society has its own creation myth, which is just a version of how humans came to exist on the planet Earth. Many religions also have their own versions, such as the Christians, Islamic, and Jewish. Some cultures with creation myths include the Greeks, the Romans, the Norse, the Chinese, the Mayans

some of their most well-known works including “Imagine” and “Bloody Sunday” respectively. Although both songs speak out against war and its effects at different periods in time, “Bloody Sunday” utilizes chilling, graphic imagery to communicate its message whereas “Imagine” asks the audience to imagine a series of fanciful, far-fetched scenarios to get the same point across. Ultimately, the personal level in which “Bloody Sunday” connects with

Stellar Academic Record: While a stellar academic record is not exactly a ‘skill’ required to be a successful solicitor in the City, it indicates that the solicitor in question has some of the qualities required for success. A stellar academic record shows that the solicitor possesses intellectual ability and can put that intellectual ability to use through hard work and focus. I understand that the work of a solicitor in a City law firm is rigorous and demanding. So the solicitor in question must

Could fear turn an assembly of stranded boys into savages? Is it just human nature? The Lord of the Flies gives the ideal perspective of this general question. “The Lord of Flies” is about a group of boys descended on an island. They try to create a civilization to survive all alone.They use each other and what they have to continue to succeed every day. That will all change when everyone go at odds and a beast comes into play. In Chapter nine, Simon perceives the beast for what it really is. He

Did you know some people hunt humans for pure enjoyment? This is true in the story “The Most Dangerous Game”. Richard Connell writes a story in the time of 1924 that consists directly from the idea of hunters hunting humans. This starts when a big game hunter named Rainsford finds himself stranded on a unknown island by accident and runs into a chateau where he meets a suspicious man named Zaroff, from there Rainsford finds out Zaroff hunts humans who come to the island by trapping them with a lure

You’re hungry, your stomach is touching your back, you’re on a deserted island and you’re foodless. You’re so weary and desperate, you need just a nibble of food, and you feel like you are going to die if you don’t eat anything within the next hour. However, the enemy has the good stuff, the coconuts, grapes, guavas, peaches, and the nourishment that you desire. You walk over to the enemy to beg for food; he approves, but you would have to do something for something. All you have to do is murder

It’s the last week of summer before senior year. Technically, you know that it’s a week like any other. Seven days, one hundred and sixty-eight hours, 10080 minutes, and a shit ton of seconds. But if it really was like any other week, there’d be no point in lying awake in bed at 3 AM. And here you are. Staring at the ceiling of your room, counting the remaining glow-in-the-dark stars you stuck up there ten years ago that faded and burned out far faster than any real ones. You’ve never seen any of

There I was, in the middle of summer, dealing with homework. At 2am, no less! Who does that? Even worse, the air was humid enough to swim in, and the heat was equally unbearable. I wish I had known what no air conditioning felt like in Pittsburgh in the middle of July before applying to a STEM camp at Carnegie Mellon. I would have most definitely still gone, but I could have braced myself for the copious amounts of sweat that covered every single one of us at all hours of the day. At least we were

Imagine yourself lost in the woods at night all alone as a child. There's no adults or anyone else around that you know of. That monster in the closet that everyone talks about is in the back of your mind and you feel like he's watching you from the darkness, and suddenly a friend, a child like you, comes out of the woods and scares you unintentionally. Your immediate reaction is to run or fight due to fear and you realize that your actions can be unpredictable when you're scared. This was a problem

The Hero’s Journey in Into the Woods The world is an objective place. Yet, each person’s individual world is extremely subjective. Mythology gives life meaning; the way in which it affects each person depends on their views of the world. In the musical Into the Woods, the Baker and the Baker’s Wife go into the woods to complete their quest. The Baker is the hero, and his journey integrates those of several other fairy tales. Each fairy tale character in this show has their own reason to go into

Hi Sunshine, Good evening hope you had a good day and I must say it was lovely to hear the sound of your angelic voice first thing in the morning so soothing. You did tell me about your last relationship and how it went bad after 8years, once I am in I am in and there is no going back with me and I don't only want to see you 1-2-3-4 times a month I want to see you everyday but as for now we are getting to know each other and I am enjoying getting to know you Joyce. I have so much love to give and

When it comes to motivational speeches, the pre-game speech given by Al Pacino in the movie Any Given Sunday ranks with the best of them. This speech was given before a big championship game football game to a professional football team that was crumbling apart. Even though the aging coach’s job was on the line, he gave this speech not to save his job, but instead to motivate his team to put differences apart and come together and to inspire them to perform the way they were capable. Al Pacino is

Complete terror has come over the island. Some of the littluns say they have seen a beast. I think they are just scared after the crash. It all started with samneric and there craze little minds claiming a beast came falling from the sky. There is obviously no beast or monster on this island, we searched the whole island, Jack, Ralph and i, we saw no traces of a beast, monster, or anything of that nature. I'm sure it was probably just large branch or those pigs they try to catch or something silly

“Maybe there is a beast… Maybe it’s only us” Demonstrates how the monster is not a physical, external being but a figment of their deep inner evil manifesting itself into a beast which they fear. That indicates how the monster is a part of them, an inherent and intrinsic part of their consciousness. Furthermore, the quote indicates how Simon is able to recognise the struggle between individualism and community and how the desires of each person affect the civilisation. Due to Jack's extreme devotion

The Power of Fear Andrew Chinn Honors English 2 Mr. Cabcabin May 8, 2023 "Maybe there is a beast. Maybe it’s only us." This is a quote from Simon in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies. This quote is from when Simon talks about the beast on the island that terrorizes the boys. This quote may at first seem superficial, but when looked into further, the theme of fear’s control over people can be seen. The theme of fear controlling people is a very popular topic and can be
