Oh No

‘Oh, Oh, You Will Be Sorry’ by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a poem telling a story about the sexist expectations set for women in the 1900s. This was a time in which women’s roles were rapidly and immensely changing due to them performing traditionally male tasks and occupations as the men were fighting in the war. Consequently, women started to realise that they too could work, provide and be educated and so many gained feminist ideas and resentment for the patriarchy. A lot of them defied their…

it. In the poem “Oh Who is That Young Sinner?” by A.E. Housman, the author is watching someone get arrested for the color of his hair. He uses the sarcastic tone of the poem to show how deranged it is to judge a person for who they are.

The reading I have chosen to focus on would be “Oh! The Places You’ll Go! I have decided upon this book because I believe it does relate the most to everyone’s life for the future. I have never read the book before this and I thought it was quite interesting. I loved how Dr. Seuss was telling a story to a young audience but, in all actuality he was teaching a wise lesson to an older individual like myself. In this paper I will talk about how this wonderful book relates to what I will learn in…

Oh Council of Music, the time has come to address a grave and dreadful issue regarding the vile and insolent outsiders who have been invading our own practice rooms.

As shown in my collage, I have many interests or you could also say passions. Let’s start off by talking about the picture with the car shown in my collage. This photograph basically influences every other photograph on the page. When someone says, “Oh I love cars” it sounds silly, but to me when I say it there is so much more meaning behind this passion. Cars have given me a purpose in life, they have given me an immense amount motivation, and a goal that I could work towards. Without that…

your choice which paths you follow. The key question you should ask yourself when choosing your path in life would be, “Are you active or passive?” Whichever way you answer you will be taken to a place, good or bad, weather you realize it or not.

A useless place, The Waiting Place is reflective of the path that you choose. If you are active about your…
