The poem makes it like a cause and effect: The cause is that the teacher doesn’t teach his students history and the effect is that they are allowing history to repeat itself. For example, is the poem it says “Trying to protect his student's innocence he told them the Ice Age was really just the Chilly Age, a period of a million years when everyone had…

When I first look at the add it reminds me of daybreak. Having the colors fade from a dark orange to yellow gives it contrast and with the glow going through the middle and around the text, reminds me of sunrise breaking through the horizon. The color in the text also gave me a warm feeling, you have the sun colors and hot coffee. I the text is also bended to mimic the sun rising, the value in the text guides our eyes down to see the breakfast food. The way the text is aligned keeps your focus…
“Fishhawk” was the first poem of the Classic of Poetry, the earliest poetry collection of East Asia (p.1322). In contrast to many poems in the “Airs of Domain” that propagated Confucianism, “Fishhawk” is a simple love poem. The poem revolves around a young man who was “tormented by his desire for a girl”(p.1322). While this poem is labeled as a “romantic folk song”(p.1322), the good use of literary elements, syntax, and language added a bit of tint to the love story. The author used a series…
Here is a quick summary of the whole book. A guy named Boy Willie and another guy named Lymon came to Pittsburgh from Mississippi looking to sell watermelons. He had a truck full of them. The two go into Boy Willie’s uncle, Doaker house (It’s around 5:00 in the morning). Eventually, Boy Willie starts talking about his great plan about how he is going to sell watermelons and the family’s piano to buy the land which his family was once enslaved in (Stutter’s land). Since Stutter died, Boy Willie…
For instance, in the poem “The Gypsy”, based on my interpretation after an amount of acceptable readings through the writing, Harrison, (author and narrator), talks about someone else’s daughter. The narrator is communicating the readers how “she arrives in a magic moment” to the unknown person’s life. This individual without identity that Harrison is referring to in the poem, was not expecting a daughter for sure, so he “turns away”. I guess either he did not care, or was not prepared for such…
In the poem Judith, there are many literary devices that can be shown in the poem. This tale of feminism also contains numerous references to biblical stories and principles, as it mainly serves as a retelling of a biblical story. Many of the seven deadly sins can be observed in this story and it raises some questions as to just how permission can be granted for sins, but Christians are told not to sin at all. The pardoning of a sin prior to its being committed shows quite a bit of hypocrisy…
role in my hazing. The bullies enlisted her help, and together they wrote three line rhyming limericks under the guise of a secret admirer. These limericks came about once every week for a month, and progressively got meaner until they were basically poems about how ugly they…
Statement of Intent My first piece is a creative writing that shows a character being present in a slum similar to, from the characters present in the poem ‘The Blessing.’ Through this I have shown his struggles. My second piece of writing is a film review on Tom Hooper’s ‘The king’s speech’. It shares my thoughts about the film. Creative writing The drops from a leaking container fall on my face and awaken me. I wake up laying on the ground and I’m unable to recognise my surroundings. In my…
In the poem, “To Autumn”, Keats signifies the notion of life and death. He uses sequences of autumn to symbolize the undeniable truth of death. In the poem, each stanza contains its own individual moment of autumn. The first stanza emphasizes the season’s beginning stage; the stanza contains various figurative languages and rhetorical devices in which formulate how fruits are abundant and how crops are being grown. The abundant and plentitude supply suggest that autumn is a season of development…
