by du Bellay. The reason I chose this poem is because after analyising it, I was fascinated by the themes and what appears to me as, du Bellay's view of life. In my opinion, the poet explores not only the basic themes of love and nature but also the link between nature and human beings.

These things each symbolize and show the good and bad side of natures character. “Yams the king of crops, was a man’s crops.” (page23). In this society, the more yams you grow and harvest, it will symbolize your wealth and your strength. They show others that you have the strength to be able to harvest many yams, meaning you have more wealth in which…

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s “New Generation” wants us to understand that the nature of the universe is open to any possible thing. He addresses that the world changes when he talks about women. In Solzhenitsyn’s “new Generation,” he mentions “in only a few short years women have acquired personal freedom in their intimate lives-sexual liberation.” From this I understood that the world changes and the universe is open to it.
