There is a rich tradition of poets-in-exile; I have chosen Mahmoud Darwish as representative and his book Why Did You Leave the Horse Alone? as the particular vehicle under question. How does the identity “Mahmoud Darwish” transform into a metaphor for Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation?…

The two key elements in any essay, picture, or anything of the sort are tone, the writer’s attitude toward the subject, and theme, representation of a message about life or human nature that is revealed within the story. Theme is remarkably symbolized within the works of A.E. Housman, Walt Whitman, and Vincent Van Gogh for the majority of the works; however, tone is a different story. In the craft of such artists, tone is not blatantly stated or pictures, but must be hypothesized by gathering…

The Power of Literacy Literature. It is simultaneously a shield against the darkness and an open window that allows new ideas and experiences to float in. Without it, we would have no way to communicate--no way to share our ideas and adventures with others or see those from the past. Literacy is as close as we can get to magic, and it has the power to provide us with humanity, escape, and determination. Literacy gives us great humanity; it gives us knowledge about the world we live in. For one,…

This notion is displayed in Ang Lee’s film “Life of Pi” and Adriennce Rich’s poem “diving into the wreck”. Both texts feature self-discovery through the exploration of new and unfamiliar worlds, the unique context and the overcoming of challenges encountered throughout the process of discovery. The exploration of new and unfamiliar worlds results in a memorable experience…

However, throughout the poem, he makes several deviations from said story, rather than fire and wood, he uses using “fire and iron”, which were the materials used to make guns. Sitwell chooses to display it in a more realistic fashion,…

Cadence and rhythm. This is poetry at its mechanical essence. It was once thought that those who could not hear the flow and intonation of language could not possibly compose one of the most complex and labyrinthine forms of expression (33). Yet, they did, and they did well.
