the poem is, when people die, they go into a new life of eternity and have a new beginning. The poem is about a woman who nears death and sees death as something pleasant because her life has become sorrow, which is symbolized with the broken down house. Death is personified as a gentleman caller to show that death can be a sweet thing and not such a sad depressing thing. Instead of lecturing about death, the speaker conveys her message through a story; the speaker is on a date with a gentleman…

Jake opened the window shutters and circled the inside of the barn. Dammit, did he have to do everything? He gave orders to store tools against the wall. His boots scrunched against loose straw as he marched past the wagon and the buggy. Red nickered. The horse moved its rump against the rail and swished its tail. Jake scooped a handful of grain from a bin and dropped it into Red’s feed trough. The horse, he could depend on. At last, he found a pitchfork behind the stairs leading to the loft. He…

I was surprised at how self–efficient the little boy was; as he did not at all act like a typical child, but a young adult. However, at the same time, I thought how someone could willingly attempt to undermine this little boy’s confidence. My first impression of the little boy’s parents was that they were not involved in their child’s life; at least not in the same way of a typical parent, that we would consider being within the norm of society. The parents sacrificed everyday expenditures…

limitless workforce. As monotonous as it might be, people do have their daily routines. They begin the morning by taking a capsule for breakfast. As kids, schooling is mandatory; purposely just to make them do math. On the other hand, adults work from dawn until evening, to enable them to afford the living cost. Most of them work in the research department, for the government, or engineer; some of them are unlucky enough to work only with…

Barton’s well-researched, statistics-laden, and densely written book addressing the history and future of the legal profession in the United States, one would suppose the overall tenor of the book would be positive and encouraging. One would be wrong. For many lawyers, reading Glass Half Full will be as…

The Food of Civilization: Humanity, the Natural Order, and the Epic of Gilgamesh The Epic of Gilgamesh is widely known as an epic about early human civilization and what it means to be human. While these ideas are often researched and discussed in scholarly works, there is one aspect of civilization that is frequently overlooked: food.
