    It was a dark and bleak December, still or again, no one could tell. The only light in a small chamber was the slowly dying fire in the fireplace. People with terrible countenances stared from fading paintings on the walls covered in thick layer of dust. There was a strange feeling of emptiness in the room – no smells or sounds, everything seemed lifeless. Even deep winter seemed numb.…

    There could be more than one definition of a beautiful place; they all differ from each other. For example, the sight and sound of ocean waves colliding with each other as they ooze onto the shore of the beach could be a definition of a beautiful place; however, the sight of gleaming city lights with the glowing silver shine of the moon resting in the sky could also be a definition of a beautiful place. Hume Lake Christian Camp is my definition of a beautiful place. It is located in the Sequoia National Forest in Hume, Fresno County, California.…

    Gwen Harwood’s poems ‘Barn Owl’ and ‘Violets’ both have overruling themes of childhood that are expressed in different ways for each poem. ‘Barn Owl’ is about the discovering the reality of death from a child’s perspective, and ‘Violets’ captures how Harwood remembers one hot day in her childhood home. The following quotes show childhood in similar but subtle ways: The melting west Is striped like ice-cream. I stood, holding my breath, In urine scented hay, Master of life and death, A wisp-haired judge whose law Would punish beak and claw.…

    The last vestiges of fall had passed and only brown, shriveled leaves remained on the sidewalk. Trees appeared naked, shivering without their blanket of color. Cold air blew through their skinny, lifeless branches, tossing the trees around as though they were mere sticks rather than giants. She shuddered as the chilly wind kissed her brow, leaving a wretched disease of ice and sorrow in its wake. Within this wintry prison there was no joy, there was no warmth, and, above all, there was no diversity.…

    Farid Attar in The Conference of the Birds suggests that in order to enlighten an individual, the individual must have an educator who is willing to destroy their Self. Throughout “The Story of Sheikh San’an”, Sheikh San’an is displayed as an exemplary Muslim who follows the Islamic guidelines and is described as the people of Mecca’s “living symbol of belief” (Attar 1984: 68). Additionally, his pious attributes qualify him to be an educator to many people. However, “every man meets problems on the Way” (Attar 1984: 68) and the Sheikh encounters a Christian girl who needs help finding the Way. Throughout The Conference of the Birds, Attar discusses self-annihilation as being the key to finding the Way to the Simorgh.…
