I was disgusted by his imagery of Chinese people eating puppies and use of bathroom humor, and I felt that perhaps because I was not familiar with the poets he was responding to such as Billy Collins and Ezra Pound and because I am not especially educated in Chinese culture, I was missing the point of his work.…

Think of the unity of effect like a cowboy riding a bull. The longer the cowboy stays on the bull, the more the audience feels the rush, the adrenaline.

During the lessons throughout the semester I gained knowledge of poets such as Ezra Pound, E.E. Cummins, Frank O’Hara, and many others. During class we discussed different meanings to the signifier, which are melopoeia, phanopoeia, and logopoeia. The lecture focused on the main points of each. Learning the different ways that…

F. Scott Fitzgerald was a short story writer and a novelist considered “one of the pre-eminent authors in history of American Literature.” “No major American novelist of the 1920s generation was more enamored with a lifestyle of excess and pleasure than F.

Throughout America’s history, writers/poets have contributed to what we now call the American voice. Their novels and poems have shaped Americans’ ideas and events. The American voice is a way for authors to come together and shape future generations of Americans to become “true” Americans. The American voice was shaped by events such as the end of isolationism in America. With this end, teens began to protest the “norms” of America- shaping the American voice of the 1950s-60s. Through the use…
