Poems, "I have not only lived but loved, that sometime miracle" (Hall 73). "These themes, of male lover as both life-giver and destroyer, and of speaker as passive and acted upon, are either implied, realized imagistically, or stated openly in most of this volume's poems" (Hall 75). Related themes are developed as well; love brings torment, anger, and even death as well as joyful life. In "Barefoot," image of love and murder are linked: "You do / drink me. The gulls kill fish" (Love Poems…

Many of life’s lessons are never discovered in one particular place. We learn valuable insights from personal experiences in a classroom, our work place, and daily life occurrences that influence us to have successful futures. One of the more important subjects that will impact our future decision-making is diversity. I believe I have gained valuable knowledge of diversity while working in different work environments. Diversity is a noun more and more organizations are broadcasting when it…

longevity and youth. This is evident in the unusual simile, "like a fat gold watch," in the First Stanza. The unconventional comparison between a baby and gold watch draws parallels between the superficial constructs of society and the deeper reality of life, as a child is often associated with love, whereas a watch is usually employed to symbolise the passage of time and wealth. This association exploits the human tendency to expend so much time attempting to escape the clutches of mortality…

my life, he betrayed me on several occasions with other girls we were friends with. At the time, he was my first “real” relationship. When you’re in high school, being in a relationship with someone for over six months is considered to be basically married. It was hard for me to let someone go who I had spent so much time and effort with. While I knew I was miserable all the time with him, I was afraid to leave him thinking I’ll never find someone else to “love” me. This was a time in my life…

"Though wise men at their end know dark is right, / Because their words had forked no lighting they / Do not go gentle into that good night /". (4-6) In the first line of this second quatrain, Thomas is explaining that wise men know death is a part of life. It is natural and not something that you can escape. However, because their words had "forked no lightning" they have the want to continue to live. (5) When lightning strikes it forks and shoots light through the entire sky. It 's one prod…

question which has punctuated human thought throughout time. Whether embodied or disembodied, survival of the soul seems to be dependent on forces that humans do not have the technology to scientifically prove right now. The most plausible stance about life after death is no personal survival. To prove this, first, I will describe the arguments for personal survival, which I oppose, and then present an argument based on the unintelligibility of souls with Sosa’s “Spatial Awareness” debate. A…

place is the epitome of comfort, safety and privacy and is always a solid, never changing, good place to go when you need to be alone and thinking about issues and events. Though it may be difficult to understand the way that this place affects my life, but in a way this place is the center of my universe and where it began. It looks sort of like one of the old barns that you see in ancient paintings,…

explores the impact of life-changing experiences, such as the loss of innocence due to the deliberate killing of a bird, and how it can be an important memory later on in life as it provides insight into dealing with negative experiences. The poem opens with ‘daybreak’, foreshadowing an awakening to come, and ‘blessed by the sun’ symbolises the dawning of new knowledge. The persona, a young child, uses an arrogant tone by referring to herself as a ‘wisp-haired judge’ and ‘master of life and…
