How do the poets you have studied explore the theme of loss and conflict? Loss and conflict is a theme that has been explored frequently by poets.

My experience in this class has been great and it has helped me see how far my writing skills can go. I don’t expect myself to do superb in the field on writing since that’s not my interest. In the past, I’ve only expected myself to do average and accomplish only what is needed to pass. However, this class pushed me even further with my writing which I’m thankful for because it broadened my view on how to write an essay that’s not just average. I still have a lot to learn since my essays are…

W.V.O. Quine argues for the point of view that time is a dimension similar to space. He considers time from the position of language. The way we talk about time is very biased towards certain ways of thinking about it. He writes, “Relations of date are exalted grammatically as relations of position, weight, and color are not.”1 Grammar requires verbs to be tensed, but Quine thinks this to be complicating matters unnecessarily. Additionally, he finds that it is demanding “lip service to time even…

Of Mice and Men and Code Name Verity are both novels that highlight the struggles of two polarizing characters throughout troublesome points in history. The authors both carry the plot in similar manner while presenting two characters that have to do what is right to save their friend from further persecution. In both stories, tragedy is foreshadowed whether it be from previous sinister events or the tone of the novel transitioning to a more somber one. However, these two stories are not exactly…

“The Wound-Dresser,” by Walt Whitman, is a gruesome poem that brings his readers face to face with the cruel realities of war. The wound-dresser is about the nurse talking about the fatally injured victims of Civil War and how he had taken care of them. Whitman himself was a nurse in the battle field. This poem allows the readers to see what he saw, and feel what he felt. His main theme that I found is that he used literary techniques to emphasis his writing, showed that nurses also could be…

“His Girls”- Question # 4 “The 1950s were a decade of prosperity for the United States. Conformity became the norm, and a conservative code of dress and behavior…dictated what was appropriate” (142).

“There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.”- Bryant H. Mcgill. I chose this quote because it relates a lot with Romeo and Juliet and how they love each other and when they do something wrong they forgive each other with love. Romeo and Juliet are good at forgiving each other and they also have a great amount of trust with each other. Romeo and Juliet are in love because, Romeo comes back for Juliet after he was banned from Verona, Romeo would rather be dead…
