Madness! A look into Allen Ginsberg’s HOWL Famous American poet, Allen Ginsberg is well known for his vile mouth, three-part poem called “HOWL”. It was published in 1956 and was looked as part of the Beat Generation’s turning point in the social movement and became part of one of the great works of American literature history. This poem expresses his thoughts and feelings on his life experience during a rough time period, post-World War II. It is mostly described as an angry, sexual and very…

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. Yet the phrasing is also colloquial in the sense that it is ordinary, unpretentious, and informal. By…

What if we could take a road trip with a person from before our time? Well, believe it or not, that is what I did recently. I am an avid fan of Nirvana, so it is only fitting that I brought my friend Kurt Cobain with me for a road trip from Phoenix to Seattle. Seattle is not only in close proximity to Nirvana's birthplace, but it is home to the Museum of Pop Culture, which prides itself in having the largest collection of Nirvana memorabilia in the world. Kurt Cobain founded the iconic…

Allen Ginsberg was born in Jewish family in New Jersey. His father Louis Ginsberg was a published poet and a high school teacher. Ginsberg's mother, Naomi Livergant Ginsberg, was suffered from mental illness which often manifested as paranoid delusions. His experiences with his mother’s mental illness are also frequently referred to in Howl. For example, “Pilgrim State, Rockland, and Grey Stone's foetid halls” is a reference to institutions frequented by his mother and Carl Solomon, ostensibly…

Large-scale and industrial construction projects require a unique blend of materials, quite different from those used in home construction. One of these is pre-cast concrete components such as stairways, beams, floors and walls. These elements lend structural integrity, fire safety and insulation benefits. For companies that transport these heavy construction materials, great care must be taken to ensure they arrive at their destination in a timely, safe, and efficient manner. Weight Limits…

the abandoned house and looked around. It had the smell of a thousand dead mice locked up in a small room. As I walked upstairs, the smell got worst. But what I saw next chilled me to the bone, the man I saw in my house was hanging there from the stairway. But as I turned, I saw a room, with a box in the middle of the room. The room was empty, plain, but with just a box in the middle. Curiosity got to me once again, I walked to the room and opened the box. Lying inside it was the body of a dead…

In today’s generation everyone has a chance to be blessed in a variety of ways, but yet poverty is still a huge issue. I think…

Once again, special mention to this wonderful song, is a must. Incredible Songs, huge Technical capabilities,…
