The wisp of dying flames fades into the next scene, now in black and white and becomes a plume of smoke from a steam engine. A folding table is setup on the train platform where a single family registers as Jews. The single table becomes many…

Parmenides uses a poem to prove the concept of unity that is the universe and our reality. The poem begins by showing a common person being chosen and given a sacred thing free of corruption, that thing being Truth. The form of Truth is something called what-is; it is free of opinions and errors. It validates Parmenides concepts of unity, that the world is non-changing and that ideas of becoming and removing are false. How empty space is not possible, and how something cannot be simply created…

Christina Rossetti’s poem “Goblin Market” provokes vivid imagery and illustrates the cost and consequences of rash actions. The narrative poem tells of two women going about their daily lives, one woman being steadfast in denying forbidden or dangerous choices while the other willingly risks herself due to being unable to resist temptation. Lizzie and Laura are both innocent and virginal at the beginning of the poem, but Laura’s curiosity proves to be stronger than her sister’s warning. Rossetti…

Juno to state that Dido’s death “was neither fated nor deserved” (Aen. 4.812). Virgil contrasts the empathy with the taboo nature of their suicides, which ultimately removes the sympathy that they may have garnered before. The depiction of both women calls into question the stereotypes of women that lack agency, especially in Roman literature. Virgil carefully dances between the idea of depicting them as willful and emotional but still making their own decisions, and falling whim to their…

The Antique Urn Parked outside Delaware's house, I honk the horn of my car for the third time. That girl is never ready and I’m never patient enough. Finally, she gets out of her house struggling to figure out what to do with the long sleeved plaid shirt her mother had probably forced upon her. Stilling struggling to decide whether she should wear the shirt on her black crop top to satisfy her mother or tie it around her waist and say hell to modesty I honked for a fourth time just to hurry…

Literature and the arts are similar, they require us to tap into a deeper level of understanding in what we read and see while we read. The words are often an author’s experience, thoughts, feeling, ideas or convictions. As readers, we can sometimes connect with the author, having an emotional reaction to their works.
