In the book This I Believe, a collection of short essays, by Studs Turkel, a variety of people share personal stories on what he/she believe and the experiences that caused him/her to develop those beliefs. There is always the personal question on which is more important, gaining understanding of self or gaining understanding from others. Understanding of self is when an individual chooses to experience life for himself/herself instead of letting the concepts and ideas that the society around him/her consists of be his/her outlook on life. Understanding from others is when an individual chooses to accept what the people surrounding him/her believe that and he/she allows those beliefs to become his/her own, instead of creating a personal…

Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

Doty’s various descriptions seemed to hinder the meaning of his topics but the multiple ways of conveying the mackerel helped connect to the single idea of community. Doty’s expression of groups seems to be one of praise because groups allow people to live on through one another. The group of fish is made of individuals but they no longer become individuals when they are together. A community is made of different people that make up a common idea and therefore must be represented in different ways. In the essay “Can Poetry Console a Grieving Public,” Doty describes an event after 9/11 that demonstrates duality in groups.…
