The Poem “Introduction to Poetry” is by Billy Collins, an English poet, and it is about how teachers often force students to over-analyze poetry and to try decipher every possible meaning portrayed throughout the poem rather than allowing the students to form their own interpretation of the poem based on their own experiences.

“Once upon a time there was a wife and mother one too many times” (Godwin 39). This short story begins with the famous opening, once upon a time, which foreshadows that the story line will be similar to a fairy tale. It raises expectations for the story that all will be magical and end happily. A typical modern-day fairy tale is that of a distressed character who overcomes an obstacle, falls in love with prince charming, and they ride off into the sunset; living happily ever after never to be heard from again. Godwin however, puts an unexpected twist on “A Sorrowful Woman”. This short story is a tale about what can happen when everyday roles take over our identity. Ultimately, this short story challenges societal expectations of marriage

Every person has on object in their life that is very precious to the, for me, it is my pearl necklace. They are small and round and a lustrous cream color with a pink sheen. They have a tiny gold clasp that holds the necklace together. My pearls tell a story than no other personal artifact can: my heritage. The pearls symbolized tradition and womanhood in my family’s life, and they were to be worn with dignity and pride. Every holiday, the girls of the family accessorized their outfits with the pearls given by our grandmother. They were something we all had in common: the thread that linked our generations together. I recall looking down at my Nana’s casket and I could almost hear her voice whispering

The story intially takes place at a ball that Madame Louisel has been invited to by her husband. In the beginning of the story Madame is very indecisive about making an appearance at the ball. She complained she did not have a dress, any jewels, and she was scared she would look like a "pauper"(174). She did not want to look poor around a bunch of rich woman, so she had asked a friend for a piece of jewelry to wear for the night. Excited, she picks out the diamond necklace that seemed to stand out to her. She adored it. The narrator describes it as "lovliest of all, elegant, smiling, and radiating with joy"(175). Having a blast at the party, dancing, drinking, and not thinking about anything else, Madame left the ball around four in the morning. Calling a cab, Madame and her husband were on their way home, delighted with the fun night that they had. Finally arriving at home, they begin to get into comfortable clothes when suddenly Madame notices that the diamond necklace she had borrowed from a friend for the night had gone missing.

For this DB, I will review the Small Ivory Chest with Scenes from Courtly Romances, explaining its meaning to its culture during its time, then comparing it to our times culture. The Ivory Chest consists of multiple Ivory plaques held together by metal strips, hinges, handle, and a lock. Boxes such as these were inscribed with various romantic themes, with this particular box romantic themes follows a single romantic story set in sequential episodes. The boxes were given to woman by either smitten men wanting to who them, or as wedding presents offered by a groom. Since products such as these would be reserved for those of higher class, these reflect both the possible joy, or sorrow that could come of marriages in a time were high class weddings

The next event is the theft of her purse. While she is in the bathtub the janitress knocks and comes in, needing to inspect the radiators. When she gets out of the bathtub to get a cigarette from her purse, it is gone. She knows that the janitress has taken the purse. Her purse made of gold cloth symbolizes all property. The purse represents the difference between the haves and the have-nots. As she is going over whether or not to confront the thief she thinks it would cause "a great deal of ridiculous excitement." She again decides to "let it go."

Well, but how is this? I gave you the candlesticks too, which are of silver like the rest, and for which you can certainly get two hundred francs (pg. 1135). The candle sticks represent jean’s new beginning in life without evil. The compassion from god and the opportunity to be a good man.

Using the carnival as a background is appropriate because it is a time of celebration when everything is in chaos and people have lost their self-control. The carnival may be a symbol of Montresor’s own madness and the crazy thoughts in his head. The carnival usually indicates joyful social interaction but it is distorted by Montresor. Montresor’s reference to the bones and vaults of his family foreshadow the story’s descent into the underworld. The underground travels of the two men are a metaphor for their trip to hell. The carnival is essentially for the living but Montresor takes it into the vaults underground, to the realm of the dead and the satanic. The setting Poe chose for the story adds to the terror. Most of the events of the story runs in dark, damp tunnels piled with the bones of dead people. By taking Fortunato into the vaults, Montresor cuts him off from help. The two characters are underground and isolated.

Fallen Angels to me was a very catchy title. Knowing myself, I saw the title and instantly related it to three songs that share the title. Black Veil Brides, Three Days Grace, and Poison all shared a song with the same title. I thought about how good the book could be with a title as good as these songs were. But to my surprise, I was extremely wrong. The book Fallen Angels is by far one of the worst books I have ever read. Reading the book was like staring at a blank piece of paper. Even that probably would've been more enjoyable than reading this book. The only two good parts of the book where Perry got shot while fighting and when they finally made it back to the World. Those were the only parts that almost made me want to read more.

At the mere age of seventeen, Pablo Neruda wrote ’Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair’ and it has since become one of his most famous collection of poems. Once, in an interview, Neruda stated that he could not understand “why this book, a book of love-sadness, of love-pain, continues to be read by so many people, by so many young people” (Guibert, 2015). He also mentioned that “Perhaps this book represents the youthful posing of many enigmas; perhaps it represents the answers to those enigmas.” (Guibert, 2015). Neruda was one of the first poets to explore sexual imagery and eroticism in his work and become accepted for it. Many Latin-American poets had attempted the same, but failed to become popular with their critics. He merges his own experiences and memories with that of the picturesque Chilean scenery to present a beautifully poetic sense of love and sexual desire. The collection hosts quite a controversial opinion, however, amongst critics and readers alike, with the risqué themes running throughout the poems. Eroticism being one of the most evident and reoccurring themes.
