meaning, it has never escaped me that it is an oxymoron. Smith is the single most common surname in the United States- there is nothing different about it. However, being a Smith, or more accurately being Neal Smith’s child, is probably what has haunted me more than any of the other ghosts in my life. If I had to be branded with a letter in the same fashion as Hester Prynne of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter was- a scarlet A for Adulteress that was sewn into her clothes for the rest of…

These refugee relatives are haunted by their memories and "remain silent because their war years involved personal transgressions best left untold since the telling would wound loved ones" (Espiritu 154). This demonstrates how difficult it is for refugees to talk about their memories…

In the English language, there is such a thing as a homonym, that is the instance when words both look and sound alike but have different meanings. This is the case for the poems "Dream-Land" and "Dream Land," written by Edgar Allen Poe and Christina Rossetti respectively, in regards to the title; both of these poems use this term to refer to a certain life after death, although each interpretation is influenced by entirely different mythologies. The similarities of the poems extend to the use…

Most people tend to practice old ways, never challenging the thoughts or beliefs they’re following in fear of being viewed as different. The American Identity is an idea of being a strong, generous person with their own views and opinions without looking to others for guidance. In the story Sleep Hollow written by Washington Irving, Ichabod Crane and the American Identity are complete opposites. Director Tim Burton put his own twist on the movie Sleepy Hollow. Although in both the movie and…

individual. Simply, readers are able to perceive that other people that pose a potential threat to Rasky and his family can be considered psychologically sick, which inherently influences their decisions greatly. For example, Svidrigailov is increasingly haunted by his past, as he has seen the ghost of his perished wife on numerous occasions. Because of this, it is obvious that Svidrigailov’s openly, potentially destructive behavior can be considered a partial result of the hardships he is…

The Beauty and Brutality of Mankind Constant controversies on humans suggest that humanity is responsible for great compassion and great evil. In the novel The Book Thief written by Markus Zusak, the exploration of human nature reveals that one is capable of both beauty and brutality based on different experiences. Firstly, the setting and conflicts shown in the story help develop the concept of humanity. To add on, symbols and motifs are used as a powerful tool to portray the opinions and…

low humans can not register it. Low frequency vibrations have been recorded of ghosts, further proving that humans aren’t just allegedly hearing something they didn’t. Mold is another form of proof against the disbelief of ghosts. In nearly every haunted area, toxic molds are found (Kopsky). Common happenings, such as people experiencing negative effects in only certain houses, is yet another form of evidence. Furniture moving, noises being heard at night, feeling cold in a specific area of a…

The thoughtful speaker in “Analysis of a Situation” also looks back over her past life and relates a pervasive sense of anxiety to fears about weakened creativity as she says: “There was a point everything went wrong/ A word, an act, some insufficiency./ And ever since that time the gift of song/ has come with more and more anxiety” ( 264 ). In these deleted poems she expresses anxiety about her role as a poet and tries to gain a sense of renewed continuity with the acclaimed youth and with the…

July morning of 1945, in an arid, barren desert in New Mexico, the first atomic bomb exploded. J. Robert Oppenheimer, the leader of the project, would recall that amongst the scatterings of laughter and tears, there was an overwhelming silence that haunted the crowd. He would, upon seeing this falling star crash into Earth, speak a line from the sacred Hindu text, the Bbagavad-Gita: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. It is unlikely that the 9th Marine Expeditionary Brigade recalled that…
