There are many "popular" topics used frequently by authors. Love, religion, and war are some favorites. Two other such topics we typically read about are nature and death. The two can be discussed separately or they can be related to each other. Walt Whitman, a lover of nature, tackled these subjects in "Song of Myself" from Leaves of Grass. Another author who does the same is William Cullen Bryant. Though two very different writers with different styles, they share some of the same ideas. "Song of Myself" is a celebration of life and God. Whitman loved everything imaginable about nature. He loved people, animals, and himself. Throughout this extensive poem, Whitman mentions "red" people (Indians), "negros," butchers, women, the poor and the rich. He believed that all are good in some way or another and all people are equal. He loved them all for their own special reason. He also loved animals. Stanza thirteen praises the beauty and worthiness of oxen, tortoises, and mockingbirds. He believed all living things were connected. People are linked with the mares, cats, prairie dogs, and other creatures. Humans are even linked to the grass in the ground (Reef 50). That line sums it up. People are a part of nature. There is a birth, death, and renewal cycle that connects the two. Stanza six is a simple, believable explanation of death. It starts out in a conversation with a child asking what grass is. The line of answer is "the beautiful…

“Bridge to Terabithia” by Katherine Patterson and “Esperanza Rising” by Pam Muñoz Ryan are distinctly different in the thematic perspective, yet they both have address some of the same topics. In “Bridge to Terabithia” and “Esperanza Rising” both address the topics of death and money but they develop differently thematically in each text. In “Bridge To Terabithia” unlike “Esperanza Rising”, the money issue stays the same rather than change, while in Esperanza rising, the money issue goes from…
examples used from topics that related to pop culture, politics and historical events to say the American values of individualism, mediocrity and self-sufficiency is overall fabricated.

The audience to which one is speaking to is critical regarding these three things because the audience must be able to understand what topics are being discussed and why. In 1950, topics such as economy, war, and civil…
I have chosen to investigate the topic of euthanasia. I have chosen euthanasia because it is becoming a more important topic in today’s world and something that I would enjoy learning about. This topic is important to me because many times my Nana has said that she would rather be dead than alive and have to be in a nursing home. She is saying this sarcastically, but it came to my attention that she could go through the process of euthanasia if she did want to pass away, and I wanted to know…
Abortion is a very a controversial topic and I don 't believe it will fully be resolved in my lifetime. This is a probably one of the most contentious issue that haunts America today.

This is why abortion is a topic that I feel strongly about. Before we did this group project, I thought I knew everything about abortion due to the friend…
