To Autumn

Working full time is not an easy task and to alleviate such stress most people find it most relaxing to go on vacation. Where would you go? Well I recommend either the Islands of Hawaii or Lake Tahoe, Nevada. Both places are rather close to California and are renowned for their specialties in the region, such as temperature, geography, activities and food. Are you looking for a frosty cold vacation or a tropical island feeling? Well, Lake Tahoe goes through all 4 seasons-whereas Hawaii…

There have been many prehistoric structures found by archeologists all over the world, one of them being the megalithic temples of Malta. Archeologists have dated the temples from 4000- 2500 BC, making it older than the pyramids and Stonehenge. The temples were made out of stone and consisted of an incomplete dome and horizontal arch and post and animal hide coverings. Most of the temples had a basic floor plan of a variable number of hemispheric chambers branching off from a narrow entrance…

“Happy People: A Year in the Taiga” is yet another example of the misconceptions that are held about a ‘romantic’ Arctic. Though some may argue that the documentary is used more as a teaching tool for those who don’t live in the Arctic, this is not the case because, there are various inaccuracies within the narration of the movie, the soundtrack that plays at various times throughout the documentary is inappropriate as it adds an exotic and romantic feeling towards the Arctic that is ultimately…

The rhyme pattern in T.S. Eliot’s poem, “Preludes,” is a sophisticated and modern variation on an old form. The poem, “Preludes,” has an uneven rhyme scheme and concentrates on the dim experience of life in the city.

The first stanza is composed of thirteen,…

It tells us it’s just a small part of it’s dramatic performance, when it’s really the crow is soaring among the winds of autumn being extraordinary playful. In our next stanza we encounter a confusing statement, as we all should know; a man and a women can become one in a form of procreation. Except why would the poet Wallace Stevens encompass a blackbird within the use of…

why I describe their work as raw. Another reason I consider their work is raw is because, poets, tend to write about their own lives and their own experiences which allows the readers to relate to them with ease. The poems I chose to compare are “Autumn Movement” by Carl Sandburg, “Birches” by Robert Frost and “The Peace of Wild Things” by Wendell Berry. Why did I choose these three poems? Well its simple, these poems have one theme in common which is they are all about…

From Jesus to Pope Francis, cavemen to business men, and Washington to Obama, interpersonal relationships are pivotal. Whether the relationships are good or bad, all humans interact with each other in different ways. The different interactions amongst people have been captured by authors like August Wilson, James Wright, and Theodore Roethke. These writers used their literature to dive deeper into the vague topic of human relationships; they all produced works that focused on father-son…
