Several decisions, conversations, logical thinking, and thrill of…

REFFELCTION ESSAY FOR POEM “THE LUMINARY” I chose to write a poem using six words from Webster’s Dictionary page we were given as an exercise in Dr. Brown’s “Book Notes on Jones.” My poem uses a technique related to Jones’ poem “OED” though not identical.

Either from the influence of the Clutter’s community or of Capote’s own accord isn’t immensely important. The first one that many readers may miss is the epigraph in the beginning of the book in french. It’s taken from Francois Villon’s, The Ballad of Hanged Men. The men in the poem are looking to God for mercy before they meet their fate, which is a major contrast to Perry and Dick seeing as they aren’t religious…

New regulations were formed once the United States was renamed the Republic of Gilead, resulting with new laws derived from the bible which…

Milkman struggles with his own identity because the only culture his father passes down is of greed and misgony. Any knowledge of family history is passed on through the family values; “Macon Dead’s ability to dominate an impoverished black community in economic terms is mirrored in his overwhelming patriarchial authority within his household”(Murray, 128”).
