    How Did Dr. Norcum Contribute To Slavery

    “The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.” Harriet Jacobs It was 1825, just May, when my momma died. I was too young to know, but when I grew up, I figured it out. It was also then that I became a slave. It was hard being a slave.…

    War In Tim O Brien's The Things They Carried

    War is stressful, it is traumatic, but at the same time fun and a bonding experience. In the novel The Things They Carried, the writer tells us about the memories of camaraderie between a platoon of young soldiers. “Rat Kiley made up a rhyme that caught on, and we’d all be chanting it together: step out of line, hit a mine; follow the dink, you’re in the pink” (32). Something as catchy as a song is remembered forever. Though, the ugly side of any war can have its lasting effects.…

    Nature In James Fletch's 'River Of Earth'

    I imagine James Still in his little shack with his typewriter and a big burden on his heart. Now, I’m sure he had more than one burden, but I can’t help but notice all the descriptions of the physical beauty of Appalachia. So, I think one of those burdens must have been planting a love for his home in the heart of his readers. He did this through the perspective of a tenderhearted seven year old boy and his five year old little brother. In this analysis I will compare the two boys’ perspectives of Appalachian nature and how it affected their lives.…

    The Forgotten Soldiers Summary

    Classified as written by the New York Times, “The Forgotten Soldiers.” My heritage was labeled as the “Forgotten Soldiers” during the time known to mankind as the Secret War—more specific the Laotian Civil War (1953-1975)—between the Communist Pathet Lao and the Royal Lao Government. During this heavily fought warzone, external support was aided. Among the aiding was the Special Activities Division specializing in covert operations within the United States Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) Directorate of Operations (DO)—serviced as the clandestine arm of the CIA (Careers & Internships, 2015). With this aiding, the CIA recruited the Hmong people to aid with them during this time; which became known as the “Secret War,” due to the unknown aiding of the Hmong civilians to Americans.…

    Susanna Langman's View Of Death

    Death, as humans perceive it, is relative to the existing state of mankind’s constructs. With the emergence of social technology, views on the disconnection between the departed and the physical world have changed, with mortality no longer ending at the gravesite. Incorporating haunting yet innovational methods, technologies in the form of Instagram, Twitter, Facebook Memorials, and online blogs and music, are now able to archive thoughts and weave it with visual and auditory images that hold captive the embodiment of the deceased. The tension between this capability and older ritualistic theories about what is considered truly ‘dead’ lead to changes in transitions surrounding liminality and the aggregation of the all figments of the human…

    Analysis Of Because I Could Not Stop For Death By Emily Dickinson

    Things Unexpectedly Happen Death will come for everyone at one point, it doesn 't matter if a person is prepared or not. Even though the poem “Because I could not stop for Death” by Emily Dickinson was written in 1863, it is still relevant today. Not only does it represent what Dickinson was feeling, and shows how people today can relate to the poem, I’m one of those people that cannot help but to feel emotional towers the poem.

    Why The Soldier's Death Is Gone?

    Having survived a drastic fighting, the soldiers emerge back and refill their lungs with peaceful air, saying nothing about the comrades who passed away. It is via the DEATH IS DEPARTURE metaphor that we interpret the linguistic expression "went under" as referring to the death of the soldiers and their descent into the underworld, which is further reinforced through a combination of the conceptual metaphor DEATH IS DOWN that is based on the VERTICALITY schema, and which is called up via the adverb "under." But why do they keep silent about their fellow soldiers that "went under"? Could it be that they feel guilty for BEING PRESENT HERE when others are gone? Or could it be that the departure of dear ones is bigger than words?…

    Mary Oliver White Owl Flies Into And Out Of The Field Analysis

    While upon first glance her corpus seems to be filled with elementary age written material- one word titles such as “Poppies”, “Ponds”, and “Daisies”, and seemingly undersized poems- Mary Oliver’s sharp observation of the natural world and all it’s inhabitants allows her to transcend and creatively tackle some of the toughest topics to pen, such as death and the meaning of life, in a way that allows readers of every age to grapple with and discern her conclusions. Many of her poems captured in her Pulitzer Prize winning collection “New and Selected Poetry” feature her rapturous lyricism covering her absent apprehension about what will happen after she takes her last earthly breath. Through her use of symbolism, light and dark imagery, and allusion in her poem “White Owl Flies Into and Out of the Field” (page 99), Oliver argues that death is not something that should preoccupy human fears but should rather be accepted by all.…

    After The Burial Longfellow Analysis

    “Resignation” Vs. “After the Burial” “Resignation” by Longfellow and “After the Burial” by Lowell differ significantly in the treatment of the author’s daughters’ deaths. For example, Longfellow’s poem is hopeful, while Lowell’s is hopeless. Longfellow believes his daughter is protected in Heaven and that one day he will get to see her in “celestial grace.” He commands a positive outlook by boldly stating, “Let us be patient!”…

    Tone Of Remember By Christina Rossetti

    When I was nine, I found out what it was like to lose someone you love. Unfortunately, it took me many years to figure out that my mother would not have wanted me to dwell on her death. If I had known about this poem by Christina Rossetti when I was dealing with the grief of my mother’s passing, I would have recovered from her loss much faster than I actually did. In “Remember,” Rossetti’s strong use of tone helps me understand the poem’s theme that when remembering someone, know that person would rather you be happy. This poem written by Christina Rossetti includes many phrases that aid her theme.…

    Analyzing Christina Rossetti's Poem 'Remember'

    The first poem I will be will be looking at, ‘Remember’, is a sonnet written by Christina Rossetti in 1849. Christina Rossetti suffered frequently from various illnesses, including depression, therefore many believe that she wrote the poem ‘Remember’ convinced that she would soon die, although she lived many years after it was written and published. In this poem Rossetti suggests that death is not the end for neither the dying person or the loved one left behind therefor making it a comforting poem. Rossetti achieves this effect by using many different and effective literary devices, some including the sonnet form of the poem, the use of euphemism to soften the loss of the loved one, the use of imagery, metaphors, contrast and lastly, repetition.…

    Personification In The Poem Exposure

    The futility of war weakened the soldiers and caused frustrations to them. This is shown in the stanza 5, ‘We cringe in holes, back on forgotten dreams and stare, snow-dazed, …… So we drowse, sun dozed,’. The juxtaposition of the words, ‘forgotten’ and ‘dreams’ demonstrate the futility that the soldiers feel about the reality, which is remote from what soldiers had been anticipating from the propaganda. The soldiers had once dreamed of the honour and respect by fight for country.…

    Wrackful Siege Of Battering Days Analysis

    The transience and beauty of nature are reflected in the line “Summer’s honey breath,” illustrating that nature is what keeps “Summer” alive. However, the “wrackful siege of battering days” is what kills this beauty. Time moving forward and the progression of “battering days,” demolishes “summer’s honey breath.” There is a particular imagery used throughout the quatrain, and it is the imagery of battle and war with the author’s use of the phrases “battering days,” “wrackful siege,” “gates of steel,” and “impregnable.” The combination of these words and expressions has a connotation of destruction, similar to a battle.…
