Gull

poems that represented events and important social issues going on in the United States of America during the late 1800’s. In his poems, “Song of Myself” and “Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry”, he talks to the future generations about society's problems, as if Whitman wanted the audience in today’s generation to learn from his own generation. Also, in his poems, Whitman uses transcendental thoughts and moving word choices to bring a sense of motivation for his readers aswell. Over time, many of Walt Whitman’s pieces of literature have influenced numerous writers and poets in the past century. For example, poets like William Carlos Williams and Hart Crane have both been inspired by Whitman’s work. In William’s pieces, “The Red Wheelbarrow” and “Gull” are both poems that present Walt Whitman’s writing style and his comparison of accepting animals through Nature. In Crane’s Pieces, “ To Brooklyn Bridge” and “ Chaplinesque” both involve similarities that can be found in Whitman’s poem “Crossing the Brooklyn Ferry” and “Song of Myself”. The poets above have incorporated Walt Whitman’s ideas and explanations into their own poems, which continues to impact literature in America they way Walt Whitman has done. In the poem, “The Red Wheelbarrow”, William Carlos William wrote short lines to show the connectivity between Nature and to express imagery, which is a Whitman idea. Also, the poet William shows Whitman like aspects throughout the poem since his structure of the text was…

But that was a long time ago.” Marisol chewed on a red licorice whip. “I love watching them.” I dug my hand into the bag of sweets, as Marisol called them, we had bought along the way and dug out a milk chocolate egg. “What do they use the barges for now?” “All kinds of things. Sometimes they have races. Those are the best. Also there are river cruises with tea and luncheons. They also charter them out for parties and weddings. I could watch them for hours.” She had that dreamy sound in her…

In their wake was a calm, soft silence. I am supposed to be a member of the hunting crew but I have made very clear to the others that I do not wish to engage in the practice. In my past, while I was a lone gull, I was what you would call a typical seagull; savage, ruthless, and selfish. However, now I have chosen to disconnect myself from that identity and I think avoiding situations that could encourage that behaviour is a good idea. Hours go by and lunch time finally rolls around. I have…

fascinating lives as the most resourceful species around. Habitat Seagulls are found all over the world. From the inland homes in California of the Black Headed Gull to the steep cliff perches of Kittiwakes, Gulls will nest anywhere that they feel would be safe. (Saunders, 1973.) As a global species, they are typically found on coastlines, in bays, by major lakes, and in urban areas (OneKindPlanet,2016.) They live in every climate on the globe, with the exception of very harsh areas such as…

Savasana is known for the one of the final poses in yoga. It creates a deep restoration and relaxation for the individual to escape the “real world” and enter a familiar and or comfortable place where an individual can relax the body, mind and soul. My favorite place to visit in my mind during savasana is the beach. I first imagine my body lying on a beach chair. The chair has flimsy straps across each side that supports my body and towel. I can either prop the chair completely up, or lay it…

Cry of the Gull was written by Emmanuelle Laborit, a french actress that recounts her life experiences as a deaf person. Though this memoir had many inspiring themes, the one that stood out the most to me was how important Deaf culture is to deaf people and how it can affect their experiences. When Emmanuelle was younger, she explains that her parents did not sign to her, as they did not know for a couple of years after she was born that she was deaf, and when they finally found out, the doctors…

“All human beings are ultimately the same in that we are all equally powerless against nature.” Of all the potential themes in the list, this one by far seemed to be the most powerful and prominent overall theme of this story. Every element of the seems to point to the humbling reality that the forces of nature offer no pity to find themselves at its mercy. There are four men stranded on a small insignificant boat, which is easily overturned because of even the slightest movements. This small…

In Connecticut, they are found mostly in hayfields. Only three state wildlife management areas have bobolink habitats; they are Topsmead State Forest in Litchfield, Pomfret Audubon in Pomfret, and Storrs. Bobolinks have been shot as agricultural pests in the southern United States, trapped and sold as pets in Argentina, and collected as food in Jamaica. The species is not as abundant as it was several decades ago primarily because of changing land-use practices- especially the decline of meadows…

My null hypothesis would state that between adult learners taking a course online or in a class setting, there is no difference between midterm tests, on the occasion that both groups take a proctored midterm test. My alternative hypothesis would state that between adult learners taking a course online or in a class setting, there is a difference between midterm tests, on the occasion that both groups take a proctored midterm test. My target population would be first-year students taking college…
