various different ways. These poems all showed aspects of freedom in one way or another. To be more specific, the poems that I really thought depicted freedom are “Dream variations” and “I too” by Langston Hughes. In addition to those is the poem “Sympathy” by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The poem “Dream Variations” written by the poet Langston Hughes shows many examples of the desire for freedom. For instance, this poem mainly is focused on having racial pride and reaching the same freedom as…

In 30 Days Immigration it was interesting to see a man who strongly opposes illegal immigrants living with illegals, and growing sympathy for them over the course of his stay. What stood out to me the most was the connection he built with the daughter Karina, and their feud of political disputes. In this feud what stood out to me the most was the last scene of them together, when they are saying goodbye to each other. In this scene one sees that over time they have gotten to know each other and…

Who Wouldn’t Want a Wife? During the 1960’s and throughout the 1970’s women were fighting to become part of the work force. Many husbands didn’t allow their wives to work outside the typical house. Many women were expected to do a list of “inside work” that was often timely. Throughout this time period women became upset with the lack of appreciation they were given. This lack of appreciation led to the publishing in 1972 of the classic essay “ Why I Want a Wife”, where author Judy Brady uses…

The Lamb and the Slaughter is written by Roald Dahl, and is about a woman whose husband is about to leave her. The husband was leaving her and the women was currently pregnant with a child.

how they grab your attention so well, or how they can describe certain scenes so incredibly robust? T.S. Eliot explains in ”The Love Song of J.Alfred Prufrock” his meaning through incredible use of diction, imagery, and tone to provoke a sense of sympathy for his inner struggles in life. There are many quotes in this poem to describe imagery, but I’m going to start small. ”When the evening is spread out against the sky”(line 2). He sets the stage for a dark and sad set of events yet to come. I…

There is already a tremendous amount of people in this world that hold power. Whether it be physical or positional, power can change a person, especially in the way they think. Power makes these people have a mindset in which powerless people are inferior to them. Due to this mindset, people with power think that they can do whatever they want as long as it doesn’t affect themselves.

against. A white person would feel sorry because they too have that freedom, just like the blacks, but they have never been discriminated in a way that prevents them from carrying out that right. Johnson continues to promote change through evoking sympathy, when he points out another way African Americans are being denied their 15th Amendment right by stating, “For the fact is that the only way to pass these barriers is to show white skin” (Johnson 3). Johnson feels that the color of a person’s…

with strong diction, parallelism, and juxtaposition. Throughout the text of “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” strong diction is implemented to emphasize the severity of the problems in the setting of the letter. Alluding to the reader's sense of sympathy, king uses words that help the reader understand the true injustice of segregation. An example of diction in this letter would be “... superficial kind of social analysis that deals merely with effects and does not grapple with underlying causes…
