Paul Allen

Allen Ginsberg's Howl was exactly as the title suggested; a howl. His protest against capitalism and conformity called into question what it truly meant to be normal. His explicit images of sex, drugs, and violence appalled societies' average readers. Through the chaos, however, something about Howl spoke to me. Today, we live in a world where we scrutinize mental health and, in this state, I found myself empathizing with young Ginsberg and the horror of his experiences. Ginsberg broke Howl up…

Walt Whitman& Emily Dickinson Points of View Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are one of the most famous poets in the American literature. Walt Whitman in his poem shows that he does not have any religion to follow, he creates his own one, and in some point it shows that he believes in God, but he does not follow the religion. Another point is that in “Song of Myself” he is celebrating himself and the doctor’s opinions are the spiritual relationship. Additionally, he describes his and the…

it’s not as bad as you think. Allen began to say other things that had taken place where he and Natalie had an altercation. Telling him about the dream my sister had about them and their altercation that God will reveal your business so someone can pray to turn the situation around because it could have been worse. You have to repent and pray ask forgiveness from Natalie and God. Allen remarked, God doesn’t hear a sinner’s prayer. God hears a prayer of true repentance Allen. He said he was going…

That said, it’s now Dwight Howard’s time to shine in Atlanta. The chance that the Hawks signed the three-time Defensive Player of the Year from the mid-2000’s is slim, but it is what it is. He’s here and Al Horford is gone. With one year remaining on Paul Millsap’s contract with a player option for the 2017-18 season, Howard is now -like it or not- the face of the Atlanta Hawks franchise. Not since Howard left Orlando four seasons ago has he had a legitimate opportunity to be “the man” on a…

Two poets describe the American plight and experience of the 19th and early 20th century in more detail and emotion than any other poets – Walt Whitman and Carl Sandburg. From two different generations, the younger writer’s content and style is very much an extension of his elder, Whitman. Both write, in a very casual style, about the suffering of the common man that they saw firsthand; Whitman’s “I Sit and Look Out” and Sandburg’s “Chicago” provide great examples of their observations of the…

On Feb. 29, a 61-year-old man was arrested for allegedly embezzling over $100,000 from a California company. The incident took place in Lake County. According to media accounts, the defendant was working as a bookkeeper for a local couple, and an investigation by the Lake County Sheriff's Department determined that he stole $103,000 from their business and personal bank accounts. The evidence was sent to the Lake County District Attorney's Office in September, and a criminal case was opened on…

The Beat Generation was heavily influenced by the events of World War II. Jack Kerouac was the original beatnik, with William S. Burroughs, and Charles Bukowski following him. Although other authors built upon Kerouac's work they highly differ in their styles. Beatnik literature reflects the rebellious inner self from the view of post World War II teenagers. The beats also tend to be very experimental with their lives and writing styles. Many believe that "the master narratives strangely seem…

How does one interpret unity in America, after all we live in the United States? In the poems, “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman and “I, Too” by Langston Hughes, both authors express what it means for them to live in America. Hughes writes from an African American perspective living in the 1930s, while Walt Whitman writes from a Caucasian perspective living in the mid 1800s. These facts play an important role in interpreting these poems. “I Hear America Singing” and “I, Too” share a…

Before I begin I just want to say that this article contains spoilers for all of the episodes of The Flash up to the twentieth episode of the third season and minor spoilers for the second season of Legends of Tomorrow. On the last episode of The Flash we learned that Savitar is a future version of Barry. The big question here is: How did Barry become Savitar? I believe that the Barry that becomes Savitar is not actually our Barry. How is this possible? Let me explain. When Barry went to the…
