From there she is once again painted with a sense of cruelty as the narrator describes both her leaving him and what she says in the bar. He describes her leaving him as, “When she left, I did not think I would ever eat again, drink again. It felt like my heart had been torn from my chest, like my lungs were on fire; every breath burned.”…

    The Crow & The Butterfly A musician’s inspiration for a song can come from anywhere, even their own subconscious, and that proves true in the case of my favorite song “The Crow & The Butterfly” by Shinedown. The singer of the band and the writer of the song, Brent Smith, has said his inspiration came from a dream he had about a mother dealing with the death of a child. The song to me represents loss in any sense that is relevant to the listener. The emotion you feel while listening to the lyrics can speak to anyone in different aspects of their life.…

    Although one story may appear to be different from the next, many stories have a common theme that they give the impression of sharing. Charles W. Chesnutt’s “The Goophered Grapevine” and Sarah Orne Jewett’s “A White Heron” appear to demonstrate a common theme buried within their stories that differ in how a character responds to a proposed change. While the characters’ responses to possible societal changes are initially different, both characters’ eventual negative feelings regarding these changes seem to reflect the stories’ theme of regionalism. Subsequently, an element that the stories share that may appear to exhibit regionalism occurs when a stranger enters the plot and attempts to change the characters’ simple way of life.…
