1. At times in this essay, Michelle Cliff uses rich description with poetic language. Provide 3 different quotes, where, in your opinion, she demonstrates this. Examine their overall effect on the reader. Numerous times throughout the essay, Michelle Cliff uses imagery described with poetic language in her essay, for example: “I remember when I saw San Quentin by night. A wrong turn on the way to the Pacific Ocean, and then the lit-up Oz, but yellow, not green like the Emerald City”, “I drive on…

Introduction For my project I visited the Flint City council to observe the process of the city meeting, there were six of my classmates present. I was the first one to arrive at the city hall. As everyone was arriving Kate Fields ward 4 introduced herself, and we identified as students from U of M Flint she shared that she is a professor at the University with a MSB program. Eric Mays from ward 1, introduced himself as well. There were about fifteen community members sitting along the wall of…

Subject: This poem is essentially about a love between two people and how that love can last even when they are far away from one another. Paraphrase: As the righteous men pass away mildly and mumble to their good conscious to leave, while most of their depressed friends say that the breath has gone now, but others still say no: so allow us to melt away and to be silenced, no tears shed, or sighs; it was the degradation of what made us happy to tell the community about our love for one…

Sylvia Plath’s “Daddy” is a reflection of her personal feelings with her fathers. The poem “Daddy” is a emotion filled poem that is dark and sad. The poem makes the reader feel sad for Sylvia and they try to understand the struggles Sylvia went through. The poem makes references to the holocaust and Sylvia's experiences growing up during World War ii. The darkness of this poem comes from the anger Sylvia has from her father passing away and leaving her to look for him in another man. Sylvia…

The piece, "To His Coy Mistress," by Andrew Marvell demonstrates his passion for a beauty he sees in a woman, although through use of allusions and references to geographical locations, objects, and even possession of power. For example, he states, "Love you ten years before the Flood, / And you should, if you please, refuse / Till the conversation of the Jews (8-10)." This I think really emphasizes the theme of the piece as statements are exaggerated and relative to significant events. Beyond…

Erotic, emotionally raw, and enticingly lyrical, “A Challenge to a Lover Who Has Offended Her” examines the violent rage and scathing pain one experiences in the absence of a lover and the aftermath of an ended relationship. The conclusion of an intimate affiliation, particularly one filled with romance and affection, is often accompanied with a nearly indescribable amount of grief, regret, shame, and fury. Numerous memories are repeated in one’s memory, with the scenes studied with an…

In both literature and song, sometimes male’s will express their love to a female in an enthusiastic method. The song “Michelle” by Sir Paul McCartney and lines 44-53 from an excerpt of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare both converge to give insight into the male brain and their expression of emotion. The song “Michelle” exhibits imagery of a French man yearning to express his love, but being oblivious to a form of expression. In response, the man uses verbal gestures to communicate with…

7. Joy is expressed among friends and lovers reunited on the eve of a holiday, which is of no use to Screwtape. 8. Fun is closely related to joy, which also of no use to Screwtape. "A sort of emotional froth aspiring from the play instinct" 9. They can easily be used to steer the patient to the wrong direction. With the the Joke Proper, Screwtape says "which turns on sudden perception of incongruity, is a much more promising field". Explains that the patient's perception on humor can be…

“It’s difficult to remember that she’s not attracted to him.” But why does she have to remind herself that she is not attracted? Why not just say what she means? At first glimpse, Curtis Sittenfeld’s Gender Studies short story seems to portray a sexual encounter between a nearly forty year old Women and Gender Studies professor, Nell, and a twenty-seven year old shuttle driver, Luke. The story gives the impression of a naughty one-night stand. It is not outrageous for a one-night stand to appear…

The narrative voices of male characters in several pieces of art, literature, and music are shown sharing their enthusiastic response of endearment to a woman that they love. “Michelle” was a song performed by Sir Paul McCartney in the White House for President Barack Obama and his wife, the song was written by John Lennon. In the song the main male character sings to the woman he loves. He sings to her to tell her how fond he is of her and how a normal “I love you” won’t do the job for how much…
