opportunity to rewrite his past by giving her the life he never had. Noticing how “she had a very dear face, and the faint arc of her eyebrows, the forehead from which she had childishly swept back her hair, and the hairline itself were extremely pretty.” Genji pronounced that “she is one I would like to see when she grows…

Readers are taken on an extraordinary journey at the sea with no land in sight. The vessel aboard the open water symbolizes Coleridge’s train of imagination far away from the realisms of life. The albatross was initially considered a good luck charm because he once led the ship to safety from the icy antarctic water. So after the mariner kills the albatross, the crew is scared as they are convinced the crime will solely result in penalty by the power of the sea. The crew is clearly proven…

Allen Ginsberg dramatizes the idea that America needs to open itself up and appreciate the rest of the world, rather than relying on silly lies that it is a country of freedom and prosperity. In “America”, Ginsberg reveals that America is not what it is promised to be, rather a trashy country. Ginsberg describes that communist principles and beliefs are superior to any capitalist government America relies on. Ginsberg concludes that America is a country of fools that are far from pure, and that…

In John Steinbeck’s East of Eden, Steinbeck is constantly using diction, syntax, and other rhetorical strategies to sway his readers’ opinion of characters. Not only does Steinbeck set up images of characters in the minds of readers, but he also leads readers to follow the subtle, yet effective, character parallels throughout the novel. For example, Adam Trask parallels his son Aron Trask; Charles Trask, Adam’s brother, parallels Cal Trask, another one of Adam’s sons. Quite often, readers are…

(which ironically is in and of itself, a judgment; but I digress.) Trump is like this sewn-together monster made from the bad fruit of both the right and left. In the name of political correctness, he is the first American political figure who can pretty much say and do whatever he feels like and, “That’s okay. It’s just the Donald.” No. It’s not okay. It’s the collapse of ethics in our nation. It’s one thing to not be politically correct. It’s quite another to make “a**hole-ness” one of your…
