Lombard College

this is an analysis essay of three of Carl Sandburg's poem. I will analyze three poems that Carl Sandburg wrote in different times in his life. Also throughout my realization, I will talk about how he has used countless examples of personification. He uses personification and relates back to his life and home. Carl Sandburg grew up in Galesburg Illinois. His parents emigrated from North Sweden and change their family name from Johnson to Sandburg. His family was very poor which forced him to leave school at the age of 13 and work random unstable jobs to help support his family. At the age of seven teens, he moved to Kansas as a hobo. He would go on to serve eight months in the Spanish-American war and met a student of Lombard college a small school in his hometown. He was then convinced to go back home and work on his education a change that altered the course of his life and sent him down the path of poetry. Sandburg worked his way through school, where he attracted the attention of Professor Philip Green Wright. He then continued to sponsor Carl throughout his time and even publishing his first work. He also worked as an inspiration for Carl and help him along.While Carl attended the school he never once got a diploma but would later receive The…

Once more reinforcing the link between colonial, patriarchal, and Evangelical Christian discourse, came the idea “women who lacked sufficient religious fervor would succumb to the allure of the East of disintegrate in the hot tropical climate” (Krishnaswamy 55).

In Anna Lombard, the dynamic of problematic sexuality and desire are enacted in the…

Through the colonial missions goal of “remaking the Other in the image of the Self, inevitably needed and produced culturally hybrid subjects among the colonizers as well as the colonized” (Krishnaswamy 39). There seems to be a merging of sexual, gendered, and national identities in Anna Lombard. Gerald remarks that natures craves “to return to the type which is neither extreme in all cases has mixed that inviolable instinct with…

High School to College Transition The transition from high school to college has been an adjustment it is something new and exhilarating. College does have its academic challenges though that is much different from my high school experience; it is a challenge that has much more positive outcomes.

Up program was introduced, I had a fair idea of what I was intending to study, but I remained unsure and had made no further necessary decisions about my post-secondary education. The reason I had not even thought about what university I wanted to go to or what career I wanted to pursue was due to a lack of resources and guidance. My parents, although always supportive of me, were limited as to what they could help me with when it came to making academic decisions beyond high school as they had…

Many say that American high schools teach students to learn how to take standardized tests on writing, rather than actually prepare them for college. Therefore, most secondary students are entering college without an understanding of how to meet demands of college writing beyond the prescribed “standard five-paragraph essay.” Susan Fanetti’s “Closing the Gap between High School Writing Instruction and College Writing Expectations” examines the discrepancy between American high schools and their…
