Killer Hill Poem

Improved Essays
Killer Hill One wrong step could lead me to my doom. I clutched onto a flimsy vine, thinking to myself no wonder it is called Killer Hill. I felt an overwhelming fear. The crusty green leaves on the trees engulfed me in their arms.

I glanced in front of me, mud. I cautiously took a detour around the mud. Crack! I thought it was the deceased tree but it was... my feet destroying everything I stood on.

A sigh of relief came over me like a gush of wind. I had conquered my fear, after having heard atrocious things about it. I had clambered down killer hill. I will dread doing this again.

The gusty wind smashed into my face. Rippling

    On that day I only felt like looking around and staying on the ground for once. The trees were covered in green moss at the bottom. The trees towered over me and made a canopy of leaves with their branches. The further I walked into the forest the more enchanting it became. I had this urge to stay here and never come back, but i fought that urge for I knew what that would do to my family.…

    Old Black Jacko Poem

    • 5 Pages

    C.J. Dennis’ poetry in A Book for Kids (1922) exhibits a text that was emblematic of 1920s Australian literature and values. I have transformed the poem Old Black Jacko into an interview with a female indigenous health care worker in contemporary society. The base text is a true representation of the values, and thus the literature, of 1920s Australia – a society struggling with the assimilation of the native people into white society after colonialism and Federation, the social organisation of the patriarchy typical to Eurocentric culture, and a system based on capitalism. The era saw the distinctive divide between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples grow as the Australian soldiers of WWI returned home victoriously, the non-indigenous…

    Ever since I was little I have been very adventurous and open-minded to trying new things. I was always excited to have the opportunity to make new memories that would last a lifetime. I went to Sixflags Over Texas quite a bit as a child, since it was only thirty minutes from my house. Every time I made my way toward the Superman I would stop and admire the people on the ride known as Dive Bomber Alley. A ride that slowly brings you up to a one hundred and fifty foot arch before it drops you with nothing but the sky to catch your fall.…

    It was straight up the side of a mountain with no end in sight. As I stared up I thought, this is not so bad, but little did I know that the next two miles would be a testament to mind over body. The climb up the mountain began with a forty pound sandbag carry. You had to pull yourself up the hill using roots and small trees. By the time the real climb had started my legs were already cramping.…

    After analysing these two poems we can observe that “Fern Hill” by Dylan Thomas and “Let’s go to Barry Island, Maggie fach” by Idris Davies have many similarities as well as many differences. This can be seen during many occasions throughout both poems. In both poems the two main themes are people and places. In the poem “Fern Hill” the theme of people is revealed in the first stanza as Dylan Thomas personifies “Time” so that the reader thinks that “time” is a person.…

    Commend Creative Freedom In the battle between censorship and creative freedom, Ice-T’s song “Cop Killer” is a controversial topic. The song’s lyrics are strong and violent. Being in a country where freedom of speech is valued greatly, the issue clearly rises within itself. Writings by Michael Kinsley and Barbara Ehrenreich go head to head in examining both viewpoints demonstrating that both sides of the argument are valid, but the song is creative freedom.…
