through their poems. Duhamel, a contemporary poet, recently featured in the book The Best American Poetry 2015 for her poem “Fornicating.” Millay is a traditional poet who was placed in the Anthology An Introduction to Poetry for her poem “What Lips My Lips Have Kissed and Where and Why,” written in 1925. Both poems were written to further the ability of women to have their own sexuality; while sharing similar language, subjects, and viewpoints. However, they are different in form, structure,…

I'm not sure," he admitted. Leorio choked, springing up from the mattress. "Y-you—wha? W-was it really —" Leorio caught his bottom lip between his teeth and worried at it, dismay written all over his face. "You...you didn't like it?" he asked, finally, his voice small and nervous. "Who said I didn't?" Kurapika replied. He poked Leorio squarely in the ribs, his lips turned up at the corners, affectionate and amused — but when Leorio simply stared, rigid and unsmiling, Kurapika sighed, racking…

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stated that 10.2% of women ages 15-44 in 2009 were reported pregnant in the U.S. Approximately 15.5% of adults in the U.S. smoke cigarettes. Of the 10.2% of women that were pregnant, 12-20% were smoking while pregnant and putting their lives and their babies lives in danger. This is concerning because smoking while pregnant comes with a lot of complications. Smoking while pregnant has many effects on the women’s body and the child’s. In 1964 they…

Gretchen embraces Faust and states, “Oh no-your lips are cold, are clay”. (130: 4493- 4494)This is more metaphorical in nature and appeals to the emotional side of the reader by comparing the lips to clay which allows the reader to develop a more imaginative side while reading. In contrast, in the Norton Anthology it states, “Oh your lips are cold as stone! And dumb!” (563: 91- 92) Here the translator uses the word dumb to describe the way Faust’s lips felt. The word dumb is more scholarly in…

differently. Girls are encouraged proximity while discouraged independent problem solving and active play. Parents expect their children to perform gender stereotypical roles, and in order to do so they teach the gender differences at very young age (Lips 1989). Other than that, peers harshly judge and punish the individuals who violate gender stereotypes. They also actively reinforce engaging in gender appropriate behavior as a result individuals adjust their behavior to conform to the gender…

Examples of the specific figurative language utilization in this poem include “Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;” (line 2), and “If snow be white, then why her breasts are dun;” (line 3). It cannot go unnoticed that these two comparisons are unconventional because they appear to degrade the mistress about whom the speaker is talking, instead of the typical…

not always come naturally. The correlation between the movement of lips and the sounds they project is a concrete concept, while social clues such as facial expression are abstract. This is why autistic toddlers will focus on the correlation between consistent sounds and lip movements, rather than abstract social clues that are difficult for them to pick up on. For example, focus will remain on sounds projected as a mother’s lips move a certain way, rather than her smile. (Bower, 2009). Bruce…

In To Build a Fire, Jack London uses precise diction to emphasize the emotional overtone of this serene, yet deadly setting. The choice of words in a story affects the way readers perceive the message the author is trying to convey. The words the author chooses tremendously impacts the effect of the narrative on the reader. Although the trail the man was traveling on was very beautiful, it was also deadly. This shows that the aspects of human life should never be taken for granted. Jack London…

Facial Expressions and the Role They Play in Recognizing Emotions There was a TV show that was broadcast from 2009-2011 called Lie to Me. In this show was a man named Cal Lightman who used his knowledge of body language and facial expressions to read people’s body language. The premise of Lie to Me is based on Paul Ekman and his studies on microexpressions (“Lie to Me”). A microexpression “is a brief, involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced”…

In “The Storm” the actions between Calixta and Alcee show passionate sensual feelings, “He stayed cushioned upon her, breathless, dazed, enervated, with his heart beating like a hammer upon her. With one hand she clasped his head, her lips lightly touching his forehead. The other hand stroked with a soothing rhythm his muscular shoulders.” (Chopin III), whereas, the actions between Calixta and Bobinot show love, concern and complacency “[Bobinot & Bibi] Then, prepared for the worst –…
