Ode to the West Wind is an ode written by P.B Shelley in 1819. It’s an ode about the west wind. The wind is personified both as Destroyer and preserver(93).

The personification of the wind as an enchanter is a typical characteristic of Shelley’s poetry. This personification of the wind can also be called a ‘mythical poetry’. Shelley divides the ode into five stanzas and each part…

He states to his son that he needs to “resent the people trying to entrap your body” and continues how it can be destroyed and explains the destroyers. He doesn’t directly point fingers to the “destroyers”, however, he does state that the victims are black people, and how common and old this is for them. So we now understand that there are black people who are innocent, and some of the examples that he decides to use are…

The condensation from my breath as I awoke from my normal REM cycle was startling, was I still dreaming? I rose to a seated position and looked around me and let out a sigh, the chevy Malibu was still parked next to my 1994 ford explorer and I was still homeless. The thought rang out in my mind as I gazed around me shivering in the back of the truck parked up on the 3rd floor of the Marcus Theater parking garage in Lincoln Nebraska. I had narrowed finding a place to sleep down to a science,…

appear to experience, it can be consider a classic story. In the film, the hero Neo, was supported by additional archetypal figures such as: Trinity – The Lover, Morpheus – The Ruler and The Oracle – The Sage. And was confronted by Agent Smith – The Destroyer. Additionally, I was able to identify several stages of Joseph Campbell Hero’s Journey such as: The Call, Refusal of the Call, Accepting the Call and Crossing the Threshold, Obstacles Test and Trails, Helpers and Guides, Antagonist and…

At the end of the book, Steinbeck shows how each character reacts after the three phases.

“The law did not protect us” writes Coates in “Between the World and Me” pg. 12. Yet Socrates in discussion with Crito States that he is “victim of men, not of law” in pg. 54 of Plato’s “The Trial and Death of Socrates.” The contrast in these two quotes is indeed unfair.

Racism is alive, to deny its existence is to…

security considerations, and the desire to preserve democratic values. Economically, America was looking to make money off of the war; however, as America became more involved, the war effort would cost the country. Deals such as “Cash and Carry” and “Destroyers for Bases” allowed America to profit off of the war until it decided to assume the role of the “arsenal of democracy” and pledged to spend money on those who were defending their freedoms (Doc. F). Accompanying this policy of supporting…
