In Response to One Art The poem that I have chosen for review is “One Art” (Strand and Boland, pg.11-12), written by Elizabeth Bishop. This particular poem focuses on the simplicity of loss. Specifically, on how easy it is to lose and then move on. Despite the unimportant losses presented in some of the items mentioned, I felt as though the core message of the poem was that it’s easy to lose those around you despite your caution, and eventually, one must learn to move on. A particular line in…

deliberately explaining how readers tend to force their understanding of the meaning of an average poem. Most of the time poems confuse readers because of the dialect used to form different rhymes schemes and some readers just have a hard time coping with the communications devices used in most poems. Collins understands that to fully understand a poem and the intentions an author is trying to deliver, one most not look directly for a meaning but create their own. This is why he quotes in the…

the Mask. This story has one great meaning and I will tell you about it later on in the essay. The second poem that I chose was Richard Cory. This poem had a similar meaning of it and I will talk about the poem here in a second. These both had a similar meaning to them and I will tell you about them. The first poem that I am going to talk about is We Wear the Mask. This poem was very good in many ways and the first way was the meaning. The meaning to this story is that everyone…

society, many of them negative. However, this was not always the case. The word’s original meaning, from the early 17th century, was “held back or in check; hindered, impeded; delayed, deferred,” which was used to describe objects as opposed to people (Simpson, Weiner). It was not until almost the 20th century when “retarded” was used to describe an individual. Therefore, the meaning of retarded has changed meaning from a socially acceptable term to a term that individuals are united against for…

two distinct definitions that hold no relation to each other. The meanings originated from different parts of the world and were introduced to the English language at different times. The only thing tying them together was the fact that they were homophones until the spelling of the second meaning was changed making tattoo a homonym. The word “tattoo” that means a rapid, rhythmic tapping originated from the Dutch word “taptoe” meaning, “close the tap of the cask.” A more recognizable…

“Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life”, Jeremy Fink and his best friend Lizzy Mouldon go on an adventure to open a box his father had left for him to open for his thirteenth birthday. Jeremy and Lizzy spend most of the summer looking for the keys that go to the box. But, they have to do community service for breaking into the office looking for the keys.

In the book, Man’s Search for Meaning he revealed the everyday life of prisoners in concentration camps controlled by the Nazis. Inmates were stripped of their own names and possessions and each inmate was known for his/her number. The primal theme of this story lies in the topic of the book. I am going to discuss the Meaning of Life and how was it used by inmates as a methodology for survival and overcoming the suffering. According to Frankl, I think the meaning of life to him comes from the…

In “Allegory of the Cave” by Plato, he uses allegorical writing and is able to create two levels of meaning by using literary and allegorical. A literacy meaning is the matter of a subject. While allegorical meaning is a suggestion of something that is symbolic and/or metaphoric. Plato’s main point of his story is to show his readers that learning is painful and requires suffering by telling just how distraught the prisoner became when his illusion was shattered and his understanding was altered…

“Swastika” comes from the word svastika in Sanskrit, which means good fortune or well-being. If we look deeper, the true meaning of the word is “permanent victory”. The swastika has a history for more than 5,000 years. It was widely used all over Europe during the twentieth century because it has a good meaning. But for the Hindus and Buddhists in many countries and mostly India, the swastika symbol was an important symbol for more than a thousand years. The swastika symbol was not really famous…
