WOOF. THUMP. Silence. Those are the sounds you hear when you are driving down the road, going 20 miles over the speed limit, and you hit a family dog that was simply crossing the street.

Admittedly, “The Red Wheelbarrow” by William Carlos Williams has given me trouble since I first read it nearly fifteen years ago in my 11th grade literature class. Given that fact, along with the ubiquity of the famous poem, I have had ample time to think about the work’s meaning. However, it was only in being tasked with writing about the poem that I was forced to realize that my tendency to over-analyze is exactly why I had failed to grasp “The Red Wheelbarrow” in the first place. Williams’…

I also watched many documentaries about Ancient Egyptian history and the pyramids themselves. I never pictured people living there or even imagined anyone living in Egypt. The only people I imagined to be in Egypt were archaeologists and tourists. But, approximately 92 million people do call Egypt home. In movies and documentaries, Egypt…
