The Analysis of the Three Poems “My Papa’s Waltz”, “My Father’s Hats” and “Those Winter Sundays” are poems which are real exciting and express the love of fathers towards their kids. In these poems they describe to us the friendship between children and their fathers. The poem “My Papa’s Waltz” explains how a young boy was dancing waltz music with his drunken father. The young son appeared to enjoy having fun with his father while dancing despite the fact that he kept on chafing his ear on his dad’s wrist till the boy fell asleep. In the poem, it is stated that, “The hand that held my wrist was battered on one knuckle; at every step you missed my right ear scraped a buckle” (Roethke, 1961). This gives us an idea about the strong relationship between the boy and his father. Furthermore, the young boy looked miserable when he was being taken to bed. For example, in the poem, it states that, “Then waltzed me off to bed still clinging to your shirt” (Roethke, 1961). This means that, even when the young boy was asleep, he wanted to be besides his father. What’s more, in this poem, the author used images “The whiskey on your breath could make a small boy dizzy” to depict the outcomes of alcohol on the young boy. Furthermore, the author used the simile “I hung on like death” in the first paragraph of the poem to illustrate a difference when he was telling how the young boy embraces his father. The writer of this poem wanted to express how alcohol can have effect on a family. In the…

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley are two novels in which the themes of equality and inequality are explored extensively. The texts are both written by women in 1847 and 1818 respectively and both deal with gender inequality. Jane Eyre is also a social commentary on the injustices and inequalities of the classist Victorian hierarchy whereas Shelley’s novel focuses on the human rejection of unconventionality and the inequalities faced by societies ‘outcasts. The…

chased by three others (“William ‘Billy’ Bishop”). Only five weeks after beginning to fly in France, he had 17 victories and was the highest scoring ace for the British forces (Leach 50). In June of 1917, Bishop demonstrated his bravery by carrying out a dangerous raid on a German aerodrome and destroying three enemy planes. This attack on the airport won him the Victoria Cross. Bishop became the first soldier to win all of the military’s highest honors (“William ‘Billy’ Bishop”). General Hugh…

were in the military and military families mostly have to keep moving. Before all the negative events happened Red Baron and his brother all went out into to the woods to hunt, boar, elk, birds, and deer, which were collected and displayed as trophies in the castle that his Prussian noble family owned. Also, the reason Red Baron and his brother hunted was because that was part of the privileges of their class. They got to go hunt because Red Baron’s father was an Uhlan career officer. His…

Plath has been deemed one of the most shocking losses in literary history because of its suddenness and because of who were left behind. People of all statuses and locations have provided their reactions to Plath’s death. These reactions ranged from death threats to Ted Hughes, the man accused of driving Sylvia Plath to her suicide, to making movies celebrating her courage in facing death on her own terms. These reactions tend to lean on the extreme sides in terms of appropriate responses to her…

of vengeance within the first typewritten draft of “Stings.” Once again, this vengeance can be linked to Hughes’. In the tenth stanza of the draft, the man has “seven lumps on his head.” (Drafts in Facsimile 49) These “lumps” are the result of being stung by bees. Van Dyne explains that Plath is “[F]eeling vengeful about her unexpected lack of control over her destiny,” (7) and “sees the male figure as an evil spirit, a deformed troll.” (7) One can assume that if Plath is likened to the speaker…

fragile Weimar republic.”(Treaty) These were the foundations of Adolf Hitler’s rise to totalitarian power. The Reichstag was the Parliament of Germany from 1871 to 1918, which was the imperial council of the German state. In 1924, Nazi party took 3% of the Reichstag vote. However there was over 50 parties in the Reichstag, therefore not one single party could take the leading vote. By 1930’s“The traditional right and center of German politics collapsed, and millions flooded to support National…

by certain events like the Great Depression Hitler and the Nazi Party would of most likely have remained in the margins of Weimar politics. Between 1924 and 1932 Hitler and his agents worked hard to reform the Nazi Party to become a legitimate contender for Reichstag seats. They turned down their anti-Semitic and anti-Republican ideals and recruited new members to increase their party membership and changed into a national party. Hitler chased after groups such as the industrialists, wealthy…

Since the end of World War II, many have questioned what exactly led to the rise of Hitler and Nazi power. Some give Hitler a lot of credit by claiming it was him and his charismatic speeches that led the way, while others claim that racism and propaganda fueled inherent racism already in Germany. It is most likely that the NSDAP (the Nazi Party) and Hitler rose to power due to external social conditions setting the stage for Nazi ideology to gain support. Germany’s participation in World War I…

attacks and defenses accordingly. Over the years as many changes were made, the Ultra became what is known today as the Colossus. The Colossus was “the world’s first digital, all-electronic computer”(Miller 41). The Colossus made weeks of computations available within just hours. “Colossus reduced the time to break Lorenz messages from weeks to hours and just in time for messages to be deciphered which gave vital information to Eisenhower and Montgomery prior to D Day”(Rojas First, 355) The…
