In the poem “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley, one can see his determination to be strong, independent, and fearless. Though it seemed like he would be defeated, Henley chose to stand up and face the…

The simple, straightforward title of the poem “Mother to Son,” by the African-American poet Langston Hughes (1902-1967), finds both the speaker of the work and the person to whom her words are discussed. The very first line of the poem is typical of the rest of the work in its use of phrasing that is colloquial—that is, in this case, phrasing that implies one person speaking to another.

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.

We laughed, had dinner and spoke about life in general. I went on to tell them how thankful I was for all God has…
