My Struggles of Literacy and How I Work to Fix Them Literacy, in my eyes, is the way of sharing ideas, facts, and emotion. Emotional literacy such as poetry has had a big role in what I read today. They can express things in simplicity and make it so vivid at the same time. Any book can have the ability to change a perspective on a certain topic or helps me acknowledge the things around me. Enjoying to read has never been the issue, but pronouncing certain words that I’m reading has. One of the…

E. E. Cummings is not the traditional poet who follows in the footsteps of others. Experimentation with grammatical and linguistic rules enticed him to create his own distinctive writing style. “somewhere I have never travlled,gladly beyond” is written in response to two of his brief marriages which left him in a state of having experienced the highs and lows of love. Throughout the poem, E. E. Cummings utilizes imagery that relates to the senses and unconventional syntax. This enables him to…

Sometimes I think that poets are the only truly honest people in this world. When I Consider How My Light is Spent is a poem by John Milton and it can be quickly summed up as a poem about worrying whether or not Milton spent his life fulfilling his purpose-something most of us wonder about but rarely admit our fears about. He is completely open with his struggle with being blind and not understanding how he is supposed to find purpose if he can’t see. John Milton was born on December 9, 1608…

War is like a photograph. It’s beautiful and fascinating until you realize it’s completely staged and not what your eyes made it out to be. Wilfred Owen’s poem, Dulce et Decorum Est, is a piece of art written during World War I. He shows us the truths about war using imagery to make our minds run free and find the pictures he is trying to show us. There are parts of the poem that show us a “brought to life” side of the poem and a side that unsuccessfully shows the audience the life of World War…

Discoveries made by individuals will undoubtedly transform them, where it be a positive or negative transformation. This can be seen in the poems by Robert Frost, namely ‘The Tuft of Flowers’ and ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’, and also in the short story ‘Big World’ by Tim Winton. In ‘Stopping by woods on a snowy evening’ the speaker makes a discovery on his own perceptions of the world round him and how he must change in order to fulfil his responsibilities. Similarly, in ‘A Tuft of…

How is love like a story? Love is like a story because of one’s expectations in a relationship, and the things that happen in their life to form this story. Love follows a literary progression. We have a beginning, middle, and end, and have plot, characters, and themes. Relationships are based off how a partner and the relationship correspond to a partner’s ideal love story. If certain aspects are missing or completely different from how they thought it out to be, the relationship may fail. With…

Death holds such endless fascination to people that it has permeated nearly every aspect of human culture – we write songs about it, strategize when to best trim back our gardens around its inevitability, and even base religions off of how to even slightly evade it. The idea of “something more,” an afterlife, is incredibly important to many people; along with fatality, that is one of the subjects of intense scrutiny of Wallace Stevens’s poem, “Sunday Morning.” “Sunday Morning” brushes on a…

Erich Heckel was also part of the Die Brücke group. He was one of the more simple artists in this association. His works often showcased psychological insight and lyricism (Arnason 118). Many of his works were made out of woodcuts. Heckel created a colored woodcut entitled Standing Child in 1910 (Arnason 119). It is another work that features the young Frӓnzi Fehrmann. Ernst Kirchner’s Seated Girl is very modest compared to Heckel’s Standing Child. For this work, Frӓnzi is pictured fully nude…
