“Millay legend” of reckless youth and rebellion. Whereas the earlier “Renaissance” concluded that the dimensions of one’s life are determined by sympathy of heart and elevation of soul, the poems in A Few Figs from Thistles negate this philosophic idealism with Millay’s well known flippancy, cynicism, and frankness (Poetry Foundation).

There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God” (Bradbury). As modern technology becomes more prevalent in society, the lines between the individual and society blur. People become more connected in every way. That connection…

Herbert Hoover accomplished much in his life, but it was definitely not an easy journey; he went through the ups and downs of the learning years that paved the path leading to his presidency, and he ultimately faced his fears. For the first nine years of his life, he lived in the small town. His Quaker father, Jessie Clark Hoover, suffered a heart attack and…

Hamlet is a product of his circumstance, a porn in his father's twisted scheme. Could it be that he was stripped of his identity that lead to insanity all for his father’s vanity?
