Glory is fleeting. This expression means no matter how popular or famous someone gets, their fame and glory do not last. According to A. E. Housman’s, “To an Athlete Dying Young”, he illustrates how precious life is and how people tend to remember public figures of great promise that dies young. Housman’s “To an Athlete Dying Young” uses metaphor throughout the entire poem to illustrate the Athlete’s glory and his view on death. The poem reveals the concept of dying at the peak of their…

Langston Hughes’s poem “My People” is a short poem that gives off a variety of meanings. Hughes’s poem gives the reader a different form of viewing people by emphasizing certain features from his people, although not directly throwing it out there for the reader to grasp right away. Also, interior and outer beauty. When the reader first reads this short poem, they would assume that the narrator is implying that his people are beautiful and that is all, just beautiful. Although, as the reader…

It was a dark and stormy evening when a mentally unstable main character pondered whether word choice and extravagant descriptions would have any effect on the reader of his written works. He looked at the purple velvet curtains his long dead love had hung years ago when he was still sane and concluded that this was indeed the case. The shadows cast upon the floor by the dying coals in the fireplace helped him to understand that a reader’s first impression is characterized by the first…

One prominent example that demonstrates the theme of the pressure that accompanies motherhood is found in Plath’s “Barren Woman.” As indicated by the title, this poem tells the story of a woman who can’t conceive. The narrator paints a picture of feeling, “empty” (line 1), and further makes an allusion to a life without grandeur like, “a museum without statues” (line 1). Just as an empty museum has no function, a barren woman cannot fulfill what is often perceived as the greatest purpose in life…

Grass is incapable of speech. Or any intelligent thoughts for that matter. But if grass was sentient, what would it think of human race. Would it be impressed by our progress, or disappointed at all the obstacles we have yet to overcome? Carl Sandberg seems to believe the latter, as he writes of an impassive being posing as grass. He captures the unbiased perspective of nature and illustrates how pointless human warfare is to a being above such trivial matters. Sandburg, in his poem Grass,…

Bad Things The sound of alerts beeping at me from my comdev are what wake me up on Sunday morning. I check them with sleepy eyes, already knowing that they are telling me I have bills overdue. I sit up and stretch before changing into a pair of black jeans, a black tee shirt, and a red sweater. Grabbing my purse, and a hair tie, I make my way downstairs and slip on my boots. Uncle Lee is the only one awake at this time, and he glances at me as I make my way outside, shutting and locking the…

This past Saturday morning, I motivated my little brother Vincent, my little sisters Tess and Alex and my cousin Olivia to volunteer at a local food and clothing distribution center in Chula Vista, Turning the Heart Center. Vincent is thirteen years old, Tess is nine, Alex is twenty and Olivia is twenty-three. I invited them all to spend the night at my house the night before. We laughed, had dinner and spoke about life in general. I went on to tell them how thankful I was for all God has…

of Leafs and Canadiens’ players is especially clear when Arthur juxtaposes the two main starters of the conflict in Saturday night, Prust and Habs, with the obvious demonstration of his own perspective towards the two teams. He had disappointed by the players. This is also an indication of author’s tone in the texts. As Arthur said “Saturday night, Prust was a jerk and lit the fuse, which means the Habs picked the fight” (Arthur 2). As this evidence shows, Arthur defined the Canadiens’ player…
