Analysis Of Our Deepest Fears By Marianne Williamson

Freedom to shine is my interpretation of the poem"Our Deepest Fears" by Marianne Williamson. I get the sense that Marianne is not only speaking about us being "Powerful beyond measures" but that she is also speaking about us being comfortable with being inadequate and the fact that we settle, even though we know we deserve more. We have to realize that we are brighter than the sun and let our light shine through.

We sometimes settle for things because we are scared to show our true potential or for the fact that others may challenge us. We are afraid of new things. we must realize that we have to take that leap of faith and know that it is all in God's plan.

We allow ourselves to be held back by being complacent with being inadequate. We

    Ta-Nehisi Coates's Between The World And Me

    Reading Between the world and me by Ta-Nehisi Coates was a great experience. Coates writes his fifteen-year-old son a letter discussing his “struggles with being Black in America”, and he offers his son truth about the shackles of the streets and school, an apology for his fear and for his “learned hardness”, and a way out of being unshackled from his “history”, his “assigned Blackness”. Coates shares the harsh truth about growing up in Baltimore. Coates explains that the shackles of the streets were a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation”. It was either looking down the barrel of a gun held by a young boy or getting beat by his father for letting another boy steal from him “Not being violent enough could cost me my body.…

    The Holocaust is viewed in many people’s opinions, as the worst time in history. Hitler was the leader of the German army or the Nazis. These Nazis would do the dirty work. They would go and relocate, in their terms, the Jewish to a concentration camp or ghetto. At these camps it wasn’t fun.…

    Irrational Fear Of Negrophobia By Brent Staples

    According to a poll conducted by the Associated Press, 56 percent of Americans, whether unwittingly or knowingly, express Negrophobia, which is the irrational fear or dislike of black people (Terbush, Jonathan). Regrettably, most African-Americans are stereotyped just because of their skin color, which necessitates the never-ending cycle of hatred amongst the races. Unfortunately, Brent Staples, a cultural and political writer for the New York Times, knows this horrible feeling of invoking unsolicited fear in people all too well. Born in Chester, Pennsylvania, Brent Staples recalls in this essay the unfounded racial preconceived notions that he, just because he was black, was a low-class thug that was out to harm them in some way, instead…

    A Few Words About Breasts By Nora Ephron

    “A Few Words About Breasts” by Nora Ephron The essay that was my personal favourite was “A Few Words About Breasts” which was published in the magazine Esquire by Nora Ephron in 1975. This essay was about an androgynous woman named Nora who writes a series of anecdotes about her struggles of being flat chested throughout her childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. During her childhood and adolescence, women with bigger busts, and more “girly” qualities were considered to be “real women”. This impacted her so much that she did not feel like a female anymore and pretended to be someone who she is not for many years. She faked her periods and cramps, and tried “do it yourself” home remedies which suggested that you can make your breasts grow by various ways such as splashing cold…

    The Obligation To Endure By Rachel Carson

    In the article, “The Obligation To Endure” by Rachel Carson the author focused on explaining the consequences of human behavior. She explains how much harm we have done to our environment by the use of pesticides specifically referring to DDT, a pesticide that is not only poisonous to insects but to our Ecosystem as a whole. These pesticides instead of helping humanity they are having the opposite effect and are altering our nature. She could not be more accurate, pesticides tend to settle into our soil, from there they are transferred to our water supply creating a chain reaction, therefore contaminating wild life, plant life, and our water, etc. Therefore, regardless of some of the benefits that DDT can have, such as the ability to prevent…

    Identity In Robert Frost's Where I M From Poem

    I put a lot of time and effort into this piece to find words that fit well, flow well, and spell the word “Freedom” diagonally across the poem. This piece is about self-expression, society, and social media. Many people today post things on social media and express themselves through their posts. What I am addressing in my poem is how quickly people are to judge others. Not only does this relate to me, but to everyone.…

    Deferred Dream By Langston Hughes Essay

    Before discussing the topic of freedom, we must ask ourselves: Are we really free? From early decades, the concept of freedom goes hand in hand with reaching success. Many Americans work restlessly to transform their dreams into realities. However, the evident disappointment and the lack of progress allude to the fact that, in the end, it all depends on the opportunities one is given. Langston Hughes makes this concept one of the main themes behind his literary works, especially in the poems Let America Be America Again and Dreams Deferred.…

    Feminist By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

    Within her book, we should all be feminist, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie tells anecdotes of what it is like to be a young feminist in Africa, she speaks at one point of the ‘helpers’ found in major cities around the continent, often young men who offer to help the wealthier park cars in the congested metropolitan area. To stand out, these young men add some theatrics to the service they provide. These young Nigerian men are not the only ones who add theatrics to helping others. There are often questions of organizations around the world and whether the methods they utilize are helping women in developing countries or whether they are merely using theatrics to make it look like they are helping those on the international stage. This is especially…
