All The Light We Cannot See By Anthony Doerr

In Robert Cormier’s novel, We All Fall Down, is a young-adult thriller that explores the evil side of humanity through a number of corrupt characters. Cormier, to a large extent, accurately depicts manipulative and dishonest behaviour whilst also showing the evil lurking within the prominent characters of Harry Flowers, Buddy Walker and Mickey Stallings who showcase the dark side of humanity. Cormier explores this through Harry Flower’s manipulative actions that result in the suffering of others. Additionally, the constant dishonest behaviour is shown predominantly through the main protagonist of Buddy Walker, who deceives the one he loves. Cormier continues to depict the evil lurking in society through the theme of appearance

The book, The Shattering Sky, by Erin Hunter, is a very good book. It is about how foreign cats from outside of the forest that are brutal and destroyed Skyclan, and old cat clan, came over to the Forest clans. Their Leader, DarkTail, was a very smart individual. He knew how to fight cats and how to teach them. Some new information I learned today was that DarkTail, a treacherous cat, is actually OneStar's son. Onestar was a very good and respected leader of WindClan. Onestar was even known to all the clans that he was brave and strong. In the text, Alder Paw says, “Onestar was the most respected and bravest leader of all time” ( Erin 158). Even a cat from another clan was saying that Onestar was a good cat.

Women have often played an important role in advocating social justice. However, they have rarely been credited for their efforts and actions. Indeed, the research or narratives on social movements too often focus on male experiences. Yet, a gendered approach to social movements is crucial, because women’s experiences differ from men’s, as do their reasons for becoming involved with any type of activism, be it political or social. The movie Salt of the Earth by Michael Wilson (1954) illustrates those differences and emphasizes the importance of understanding the role played by individual and collective identity in political action. How does one’s social identity shape one’s involvement in political action? In this movie, women get involved in a strike; they become visible activists and no longer just the shadows of their husbands. Yet, their depiction in the movie presents them as essentially mothers and wives, inscribing their actions in the realm of domesticity. Thus, their actual agency remains in question.

The use of imagery between nature and uncertainties of the narrator give a glimpse into Roethke’s own mind during the time he wrote this poem. Without hundreds of pages Roethke created a poem that connects readers to their own self-doubts and struggles of finding ones way again.

Silent Light by Carlos Reygadas is a powerful, emotional, breathtaking, and heartbreaking movie. The movie is different from a lot of Hollywood’s movies because the movie capture the life style and culture of farmers that shun most modern-day technology and live off the land. Faith, family, and time, and emotions played a big role in the movie. In Silent Light we can see how the main character was torn between his wife and mistress. They were a lot of parts that stood out to me the most which I believe can be related to society. The main character Johan was having an affair and his wife Esther knew about it even though she knew about it, she couldn’t do anything about it only accept it and try to be there

This is an emotional poem written by William E Stafford called traveling through the dark. I am going to describe 1st stanza in Baroque style, the 2nd in Classical, the 3rd in Romantic and the 4thand 5th in Modern. If the first stanza of the poem was set in the Baroque period and music was composed in this period then I would have use complex and thick polyphonic texture.

In “Traveling through the Dark,” William Stafford uses the speaker and framing of the poem to contribute to the theme that when confronted with troubles, it is better to deal with them than let them ruin someone else. “Traveling through the Dark” is a narrative about one individual. This poem is a monologue because there is one speaker. The speaker uses an internal voice that is calm and informal to create an unfiltered admission of that night. Being written in past tense, the speaker seems to be reflecting on his actions.
