An Analysis Of Mollie's Poem

Improved Essays
It was Wednesday, April 6th. Mollie was already having a bad day. Her hair was all ratted, her boyfriend had dumped her, and she was failing English. Her day was only going to get worse though. For English class she had spent the past two nights staying up and writing her poem. This wasn’t some ordinary poem that any other high school student would write. Mollie had dumped all of her emotions into this poem. It made her cry every time she read it. When she handed it in to Ms.Routier, she had her read it right away so she could know how she did on it. After the teacher was done she said it sucked. This caused Mollie to bust out into tears. Mollie was balling her eyes out. This caused her to run out the door and when she did she fell over and died right on the spot. She was as dead as a door stump. The doctors could not figure out what had happened to her. This caused the police to blame it on Ms.Routier who ended up getting arrested and was sentenced life in jail. …show more content…
Well Mollie’s body was dead. Her soul stayed in the school. She couldn’t let go and let other kids who worked hard like her get crushed because of the teachers thoughts. She knew she had to help them in anyway possible. Her soul stayed in the locker room during the nights but she wandered the hallways and classrooms during the day listening to the teens and the teachers. Everyone was okay besides the new freshman Susie. She was originally from the big apple so it is a big difference between there and Brooklyn, Iowa. She dressed different talked different, heck, the teachers even noticed she was taught different. She was struggling and could learn as fast as the other kids

    The video begins us with being introduced to Katharina Grosse in her studio in Berlin, Germany. She is seen photographing a poem by Ernst Jandl for a christmas card, and while she talks about how she’d always loved language, she tells us that the moment she learned about painting a new love began. Katharina points out the strong contrast between poetry and paintings. She discusses how while a poem follows “a certain order system” which makes it quite “linear,” painting possesses a certainly more abstract quality yet is equally as fascinating.…

    kay, so now we know about timshel, but it's also Adam's last word before he dies (at least it wasn't something totally random like rosebud). He says it right after Lee gets him to give Cal his blessing, i.e. show that he loves him as a son and free him from the guilt of "killing" his brother. It's a moment where things are at a crossroads for Cal: he could go on hating himself for what he has done and thinking that his dad died hating his guts, or he can be free and go on to break the Cain-Abel curse that seems to follow the Trask family around. As Lee says to Adam, "Give him his chance"…

    “A Certain Lady” is a short poem written by Dorothy Parker detailing a woman’s thoughts on her relationship with a mysterious man.

    The poet positively embraces her bi-cultural heritage, perceiving the dual perspectives of her parentage as a source of enrichment that drew her closer to other cultures. She feels very close to Mexican culture because of the sense of otherness that Mexicans feel in the United States; a sense of otherness that she can identify with. In an interview with Phoebe Davidson, she explains her attachment to other cultures, and particularly Latin American culture: "It doesn’t matter it isn’t my culture, I’ve always felt that any little bit of other in our lives …gives much more than it takes away" (1998,162). Many Arab-American women have sought spaces of empowerment and visibility through alliances and coalition-building with other minorities. For…

The school was large with 2400 kids, and to make matters worse, it started in 9th grade, not tenth grade like the school in the desert. Their background lead to clicky, aloof, richer, more sophisticated people. Which made socializing more difficult, and unpleasant.…

    However, her language bears traces of an internalization of the oppressive social structure and an anxiety of authorship1 that prevents her from successfully establishing herself as autonomous. In this essay, I will attempt to demonstrate how Margaret Cavendish, through her poetry and prose, endeavors to achieve self-sovereignty through singularity but fails due to fear of social alienation from not just the patriarchal hegemony but also from the women of her era that perpetuated it. In The Poetess’s Hasty Resolution, Margaret Cavendish establishes herself as not only a poet but a gifted one at that. “Reading my verses, I liked them so well/Self-love did make my judgment to rebel/…
