My goal in the future is to be a foreign diplomat to the two countries that shape me; Mexico and the United States.I danced around school trying to find classes, organization or clubs that will help me reach my goals, in other words I was dancing the Jarabe Tapatio with the school as my partner.

I usually find satisfaction when an example of comedic wit comes to light. The art of sarcasm, and the structure of satire have never ceased to amuse me. Although, when this specific brand of “humor” comes about, I sit back not to marvel at the thought or eloquence of the speech, but to restrain my own deeply rooted antipathy. When these graceless, crude masses shove their way into conversation, I watch in disdain as they merely beg for the attention of their audience. My muscles tense and…

Anne Bradstreet, a Puritan poet, began to write poetry that portrayed the struggles of a Puritan, in particular a Puritan wife against the hardships of the New England colonial life. In addition, Bradstreet wrote several love poems to her husband.…

Society over time has over looked nature and the beauties that it creates. Ralph Waldo Emerson creates an environment full of magnificent scenery in “From Nature” that truly represents the characteristics of nature. Emerson discusses that “Miller owns this field, Locke that, and Manning the woodland beyond. But none of them owns the landscape. There is a property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eyes can integrate all the parts, that is, the poet” (Emerson 807). Emerson talks about…

Is there such realistic idea of a perfect leader? While in one’s imagination, the notion of a flawless leader is an acceptable principle, humans are composed of contrasts and flaws rather than consistent, perfect virtue. The archetype of the leader suggests an idolized character (Shadraconis), but it can also be challenged. Such a scenario occurs in Sophocles’ Oedipus the King, a renowned Ancient Greek Tragedy that illustrates the leadership, and the subsequent catastrophe of King Oedipus who…

Patrick Henry used ethos in his speech by incorporating it in his introduction where…

The Art of Poetry Poetry is a subject with its own language: Rhythm, hyperboles, analogies, metaphors. However, one does not need to use fancy rhetorical devices to write such a powerful form of writing. Poetry is not just about rhyming. Rhyming? Words cannot be thrown in randomly in order for it to “sound good”: It is the thought that counts. Poetry is not a way to ridicule anyone. Ridicule? Use what your parents taught you: Respect. Poetry is not writing a literary essay. Instead, it is the…
