The poetry of Queen Elizabeth I, Mary Wroth and Katherine Philips unarguably has similarities in style and theme. All three writers composed poems about love and relationships; and emotion is deeply expressed through their verses. Each author allowed their unique experiences in love and loss to guide their capable pen resulting in a poignant understanding for the reader. Queen Elizabeth, Wroth and Philips express a sense of jaded love in their poetry and make great use of figurative language…

I will be writing a response to the poem “In Black Earth, Wisconsin” by Andrea Musher. I think that this poem is about a family that suffered a loss and they are trying to move on. Topics I will discuss are the feelings this poem brought out in me, things that questioned and puzzled me in this poem, who the speaker is, and what this poem is trying to say. The feelings this poem brought out in me were sad, curious, and scared. I felt sad because in the poem someone passed away. This is sad…

Theme is a message about the whole story that you get from the text. Rudyard Kipling, the creator, gives many examples to why good triumphs over evil is the theme for this fable “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.” Rikki proves that he is the pleasing character in the story because he kills snakes to protect and save his family’s life. While Nagania, Nag, and Karait kill everything just to be dominate. I can see why people might think the theme is love triumphs over all, but I can prove that it’s not with…

Themes are an extremely important component in stories, it is basically the base of the story. The overall purpose of reading a story is because the author has some points to get across. "The theme of a piece of fiction is its view about life and how people behave"(Literature). Each theme focuses on a meaningful aspect in one’s life, something important like morals. Themes also allow all of the readers to have one similar concept, even after they have formed their own opinions. By reading all of…

Many think of science fiction as a genre filled with stories about extraterrestrial life or new breakthroughs in technology that will flourish our future. Although that may be true in some cases, these types of books can also be a warning for our future on this planet. Authors create dystopian societies, societies hat seem to be perfect, but in reality are filled with corruption. Fahrenheit 451, a novel which simulates a world without any literature, shows that the public is unaware about their…

Western stories share a multitude of themes. The Revenant and The Hateful Eight show themes of violence, and nature. Both films use these themes to show the brutal power of the elements, along with the abusive nature of people. Westerns have a long standing relationship with violence. Violent ideas, and themes help show the power of characters throughout the story. In The Revenant violence is the main drive for Hugh Glass to enact revenge on Fitzgerald. The motivation for Glass to push through…

The film Moonstruck (1987) demonstrates the concepts of Freud’s Jokes and the Unconscious through the use of tendentious jokes, specifically those that are hostile or aggressive. The film also illustrates the narrative concepts for “New Comedies” laid out by Northrop Frye, which are the senex or authority figure that the protagonist competes with for the object of his desire, the “Green World,” and the social renewal via the uniting of one or more romantic couples. One notable example of a…

An exceptional example of Suli Breaks poetry is “I will not let an exam result decide my fate” which shows his perspective in targeting specific ideas in poems, how his presentational style engages with his fans and how he is a lyrical mastermind.

Martina Navratilova once said, “Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people” (Navratilova). Stereotypes can be encountered everywhere, and every person is guilty of doing it. Stereotypes can lead to people thinking and acting differently, this is often done without realization. Stereotyping can be found everywhere, it can be found in books, movies, and the places people go. Stereotypes can generally be defined as fixed images or a set of characteristics that a person might attach to a…

“Ebola is a rather simple virus- as simple as a firestorm. It kills humans with efficiency and with a devastating range of effects.” (Preston. R. 1994, New York.) The quote is from the book The Hot Zone Richard Preston and the ebola virus is kinda like Scfi in my mind. When you think of Scifi you think of awful scary things that could wipe out the whole human population. Thats what ebola is, but its real. Science fiction or Scfi is something that is fictional that uses future technological…
