Chirp

"beautiful" exposes the poem optimistic nature. The last line " You can make this place beautiful." sends the message of hope and not losing faith for a better future. Smith uses the line "Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bone"(Smith) to explain the meaning of the poem's title. Smith's poem Good Bones shows the desire to be able to comfort and protect our children from the world while simultaneously instilling empathy in order to make the world a…

Poe’s speciality is to leave loose ends and dozens of interpretations, all of them intertwined in the topic of the double. Therefore, the tale is at first a nest of doubles. The madman and the old man are at the centre of this horrible tale in which one is murdered by the other, and the most important aspect of their duality might be there, on the line of the madman’s retelling of the events, since one of the main aspects of Poe’s fiction is the one of the narrator’s unreliability. Should we…

The wind whistles. The owl hoots. The cricket chirps. The fan next to my bed spins on and on forever. While lying in my bed, I begin thinking about people I know and begin questioning why people talk the way they talk and act the way they act. Nevertheless, my perspective of several people, including relatives and friends, changed after reading your allegory because I began to notice that many people around me symbolize many characters in Christian’s life. Mr. Bunyan, your allegory changed my…

Stephen Chbosky has a famous quote that says “We accept the love we think we deserve”, and I found this out first-hand way back in October 2014. One day after school my best friend Erika, a bright bubbling spirit and I went to go hang out with our loud, dramatic friend Lisa and her friends after school. So, Erika and I trekked over to Lisa’s house and we went in and Lisa had some friends that we did not know over. As we did introductions, a boy named John introduced himself to me. John was…

“You’ll never leave” is carved faintly into the brick wall of the small jail cell, probably from its last guest. Every day, I started to believe the phrase more and more. I lay on the uncomfortable cot, pretending to be asleep. I’m lonely, but I’m not alone. I can hear him breathing and slowly flipping the pages of the newspaper; I assume it’s Mr. Heck Tate. He’s always sulking around his office and rarely goes home. Everything is calm in and outside the jail, as the town of Maycomb has retired…

The day was finally here! An explosion of giddiness raced through me as my anticipation rose. It has been months since I had last had the opportunity to do what I love to do- hike. Something about the plethora of smells and scenery always gave me a sense of complete serenity. I haven’t been able to hike a lot due to my soccer injury. That may have been one of the most painful experiences in my life. Long story short, I was blocking the ball as it zoomed to my goal and instead my knee came in…

on campus even during summer break. With my incredibly rusty German all I could manage to say was, “Ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch aber ich will dich sehen einmal mehr. Bis spӓter Alena!” The sun has begun to set and the crickets are beginning to chirp. Alex is pacing back and forth in the small dorm room very quickly while Andrew is sitting on his bed texting people on his phone. While Alex is nervous and beginning to chew on his thumb nail, Andrew remains completely relaxed about Alex’s…

We see ads everywhere on our phones, on buses, on television, we even hear them on the radio. And I can assure you almost every single one is trying to appeal to a specific audience through rhetorical appeals such as ethos, pathos, and logos; they also use thing such as juxtaposition, camera angles, and lighting to help catch their audiences’ attention. Together we’ll look at how two car ads use humor and their ability for the audiences to relate. We’ll see how car companies like Audi and…

It is a truth universally acknowledged that human pride causes human pain. Whether this is the pain of soldiers in vain battle, the pain of individuals isolated by social statuses and social demands, or the pain of young boys in shallow, barren graves, pride causes it by blinding us to the humanity of others and convincing us to accept their pain and our own pain in the pursuit of avarice. The breadth of pride 's effect on humanity is apparent in its thematic presence throughout literature. In…
