Harmony Nounnan's Poem

Who I am today!!!
As I grew older every day with my friends and family, every day I would notice that I’m someone who can take on the world and wait for days like these to come and show me who I am. I know that I’m going to grow up and be who I want to be and show everybody that I’m going to take on the world. I am Harmony Nounnan and this is who I am today. I believe that anybody can be anything and that the will show the world that they can do it. So on my mandala I put a life symbol to show the world that they can do it and they are life itself. It can show them to show the world what they can do and what they were meant to do.
Sometimes, life gives you a beat that you need to follow to get to your goal and it shows

    In the beginning of the poem, Bradstreet is sleeping during a calm and quiet night, and then suddenly, she wakes up by “thund’ring noise / And piteous shrieks of dreadful voice” (lines 3-4). She then sees that her house is burning in fire. Terrified, she cries out to God and prays so that God would help her. Her house eventually got entirely burned up, and Bradstreet ended up homeless, but she did not lose hope. She began to pull herself together and realized that God took away something that didn’t belong to her anyway.…

    Always Something More Beautiful, Stephen Dunn, born in Forest Hills, NY. Stephen Dunn was known as an American poet and educator, which all his poems reflect the social, cultural, psychological are of the American middle class. This poem’s title might reflect on the narrator’s life and how beautiful it can be. I got attracted to this poem, because it reminded me when I was at the Regionals for a Cross-Country race and reflected how human’s life can be fair or beautiful. Dunn’s poem contains a cluster of nouns that represents the poem theme or main idea, however each cluster has a different meaning to the reader’s and narrator’s perspective.…

    The Shunammite Death is a horrible and sometimes an awful experience that is never an easy thing, especially for the loved ones affected by it, and in this story Luisa was directly affected by the dying lustful days or should I say years of her uncle’s life. Some people believe death should be a celebration and is in a sense of out with the old and in with the new but that is not what happened in this story. What seemed to be just the dying days of her uncle turned into just more than that since she was pressured into marrying him so she could inherit all of his belongings. The setting is a major influence since it is placed in the uncle’s house that has a weird feeling to it and not like summer. The themes through the story were death and lust since…

    Chrystos Poem Analysis

    • 756 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Chrystos is making the argument that all white people have things that they had no idea that they originated from Native American culture and that in a way they are disgracing their culture and beliefs. She assumes that we don’t have Native roots until the end of the poem saying that maybe we have a grandma who was Native American. She is making the stereotype that white people don’t have any regard for other cultures and that whites think they are superior to others. I think “it” is referring to some people who don’t know very much about other cultures and were something or own something without knowing its roots. She does seem somewhat angry because she just wants them to know where the things they have truly came from and how to respect…

    There are a lot of adjectives that are used in the poem to suggest the innocence and purity of the boy, which juxtaposition is used by the adjectives and verbs used to describe the invincibility and strength of the Nettles. The poem explores the connotations of the word ‘bed’ and ‘bed of nettles’ and there is a stark contrast to what we associate a bed with and what the bed represents in the poem. Line 1 tells us that the boy’s aged “three” to indicate the boy’s vulnerability, which is then followed by the verb “fell” to show that this was an accident. Later in the poem, we see adjectives such as “tender,” showing that the boy has tender skin, which makes the reader interpret that he is innocent and vulnerable. However, Scannell then uses juxtaposition again to the innocence of the boy with the “nettles.”…
