The poem states there’s no sign to say “You’ve arrived”, I especially like how that was incorporated into the poem. Up North is described as your special place that brings peace of mind. Time spent up North definitely brings a peace of mind and a relaxing sensation.…

will serve as a reflection of an essay I have written previously. The essay I wrote previously is titled “Anxious”, it is a descriptive essay about what it is like to suffer from an anxiety disorder. Since then I have improved and I am only continuing to get better and better. In my essay the easiest part to compose was probably the use of metaphors and similes to describe how certain things felt. As soon as one came out they just continued to pour, as if they were the first drop from a raging…

The Extent to Which Baranczak and Cavanagh’s Translation of Szymborska’s “The End and the Beginning” is More Successful Than Trzeciak’s Translation of the Poem Szymborska’s poem “The End and the Beginning” speaks to the cyclic nature of wars: as soon as one war ends, another begins.

a hen could not cackle but she was on the alert to secure the new-laid egg. Her husband was continually prying about to detect her secret hoards, and many and fierce were the conflicts that took place about what ought to have been common property,” (2).

Funke, that the author helps me feel as if I am actually in the book, experiencing what the characters are. One way the author does this is by including figurative language. Funke uses figurative language that help the reader visualize and compare how something might look like given the examples. Similies can give a comparison that will help the reader see the scene that is going on.
