We learn that they have been on the ship for two weeks and there getting anxious to get off and into America.

In her poem “One Perfect Rose,” Dorothy Parker misleads the reader throughout the first and second stanzas into believing this poem is a romantic tribute to a tender moment from her past through her word choice and style of writing. However, the tone of the entire poem dramatically changes upon reading the third and final stanza when Parker allows the reader to understand her true intention of the poem, which is a cynical and perhaps bewildered view of the memory. And, with this shift in the tone in the third stanza, there is a shift in the meaning of the entire poem, leading the reader to believe that the first two stanzas were not, in fact, sweet but instead a sarcastic and bitter account of this past moment. In the first stanza, Dorothy

People working on their dreams will encounter unmotivated, ignorant individuals who will try to convince them that nothing is possible. Nonetheless, they overcame the prejudice and heavily relied on determination and motivation to succeed. Because they realize that it is achievable and crucial to accomplish their ambition. When comparing “The Rose that grew from Concrete” By Tupac Shakur and “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas, it is seen that both authors focus on how people must not give up, yet they have completely different perspectives which they express using personification and symbolism.

At first glance the poem One Perfect Rose may seem like a poem about love and romance, but further analysis shows the opposite. The first two stanzas of the poem can be misleading, as they lead one to believe that it’s a romantic moment to a past memory. However, with the poems sudden change in tone, the third stanza takes on more of a cynical view. You hear the dissatisfaction in the speaker’s tone, as she wants more. The title conveys irony, as it shows that the rose is anything but perfect. In a way the poem seems to describe Parkers feelings about life, even though she had a lot going for her she just wasn’t satisfied. Because of the shift in tone, the poems entire meaning goes from sweet to a bitter recount. The first opening line of

In the short story “Rose” by John Biguenet, he uses symbolism to express the pain he has for his son’s death. Biguenet writes that “And he remembered that as he turned toward the flashing red light, lifting his eyes over the roses…”. I feel like this is how Biguenet expressed what his last memory was before he got the news about his son. This poem is full of examples somewhat like this one. I know from the poem that all he thought about was the roses he saw before hearing the news about his son’s death. Biguenet uses many hidden symbolic objects to express how he feels about his son’s death.

The short story “The Glass Roses”, is a coming of age story that’s thematic topic revolves around a search for identity. Stephen, who is only a boy of 15 years struggles to understand what attaining manhood really is when he meets Leka, a man who juxtaposes Stephen’s father’s identity. Through his struggle, Nowlan leads us to the understanding of the influence of family and community on identity, the different versions of what makes a man, and a youth’s development of identity as a man. Nowlan suggests that youths are very impressionable during their coming of age, and what they have grown up with is who they are likely to become. For example, Stephen’s father is a hard man who expects much the same Stephen. Though through Leka, he sees

Imagine what life would be like as a rose grown from a crack in concrete.Think about how people would ignore you when you grew from that piece of concrete.Or think about how you would say to your offspring about life in the metaphor of some broken stairs.The poem “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” is about how Tupac is in the form of a Rose and how he explains how this rose grew from concrete and was able to walk and breath air.I do believe that when he said no one cared for the rose that grows from concrete was meaning no one cared for Tupac when he was growing up.

Within the film, Ma Vie en Rose (Alain Berliner, France, 1997) we are encouraged to sympathize with the main character, Ludovic (Georges Du Fresne), a seven year old boy that insists that he is actually a girl. The importance of viewing this movie and being able to identify with the character of Ludovic shows us as an audience the absurdity of gender norms, while simultaneously encouraging us to have a more empathetic viewpoint in regards to such topics.

Rose de France window dates back to the Gothic period and can be found in Notre-Dame de Chartres Cathedral. I would say that this type of artwork is more likely to fit perfectly into the category of art in worship and ritual because it serves its purposed very well. The stained glass window serves it's purpose of worship and ritual because it is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who sits in majesty. In the stained glass window the Virgin Mary is depicted by being surrounded by doves, angels, and royal figures of the celestial hierarchy. Also, if we take into consideration the goal of the Gothic structure of cathedrals which was to fill these cathedrals with light for the purpose that it served as a metaphor for the presence of God we can clearly
