e shifters walked into a bar. It sounds like the beginning of a corny joke, doesn’t it? But here’s a little more information for you. I was those shifters’ alpha and den mother rolled into one. Two of the barhoppers were jail bait or close to it. And the establishment in question was filled to the brim with horny, lawless, outpack males. No wonder I wasn’t laughing and was in a big hurry. I breezed past the bouncer with a show of entirely human teeth, then rolled my eyes at his laxness. The employee wasn’t being remiss by not checking my ID. Not in a werewolf bar. But he still wasn’t really doing his job. I was twenty-one—barely—which is all humans would have cared about when allowing entrance to a drinking establishment. But the guy at
This text response will be looking the comparison of the two poems, ‘Drifters’ by Bruce Dawe, And ‘In the park’ by Gwen Harwood under the name of Walter Lehmann. Drifters is about a seemingly constantly moving family, it describes the process the family will go through leaving their newest home. In the park is about a seemingly single mother raising her children, it describes the mother sitting in the park with her children when a previous lover comes by and talks about the children. With in each poem, the form and structure, language techniques and the tone and message will be analysed and compared with the other to gather a grater understanding of the Australian voice.
Students will be able to label the four stages of a caterpillar as they change into butterflies.
The poem Hurt Hawks by Robinson Jeffers is a very spiritual poem about a man who finds an injured hawk that will never be able to fly again. The narrator mentions in the poem that he would rather kill a man than a hawk because a hawk has never done anything to him, but there are many people who have done things to hurt him. He takes the Hawk home with him for about six weeks until he realizes that the Hawk would rather die than not be able to fly. He shoots the Hawk and see his spirt fly off. He mentions that the Hawk not only symbolizes other hawks dying but men as well.
In the United Sates, statistics show that the consumption of alcohol by minors has decreased in the last twenty years, but the consumption of alcohol by adults ages twenty-one through twenty-four have increased (Wechsler and Nelson 987). Waiting until you are twenty-one to legally drink is causing adults to binge drink without thinking of the consequences.
In “Monkey Hill,” Stan Rice writes about the speaker of the poem who sits at a zoo with his friend observing the spider monkey exhibit. The two stay the whole day to observe these monkeys. The speaker becomes envious of these monkeys and their ability to be confident with exactly where they are and with who they are. Rice argues that our minds imprison us when we are worried about judgment from others. The monkeys in the exhibit felt free and at ease while the two observers were trapped in worrisome about the outside world in fear of how others would perceive them.
Therefore, these are the many reasons the legal drinking age should begin at the age of 25 years old. If the liquor stores, bars, restaurants, clubs and parties enforce showing ID; drinking will not be so easy to get a hold of. And they should minimize people a certain amount of drinks
Although in twenty-nine states youth are allowed to consume alcohol on private property with the consent of a parent or legal guardian that still doesn’t justify why people who are between the ages of eighteen and twenty are not allowed to go out and have drinks with friends. If adults between the ages of eighteen and twenty were able to drink in public environments, I believe that risks of injury and harm would increase greatly.
And we know each others names! That makes me euphoric! When I think of you, and you think of your fans
To support this, seniors who couldn’t drink until age of 21 drank less than seniors who were restricted until the age of 25. Therefore, several states had conflict on minimum legal drinking age with minorities under 25.
The Moth’s Plea is a tale of a Moth’s inner reflection on itself and how humans see him. The Moth seems to be very self-aware about why moths are perceived to be a nuisance. “I hate myself” shows it to be self-loathing for itself, using it as hate it too. The use of first person heightens the empathy evoked onto the reader, making them feel sympathy for a possibly misunderstood creature. On the other hand, Weasels dip in and out of first and third person, spending most of the poem in third person.
This poem describes gazelles perfectly for they try hard to survive in the many regions they are located. God put gazelles on earth on the fourth day and He put them here for a reason. A better way to understand the significance of gazelles, one must understand their habitats, habits, and techniques on avoiding predators.
In Woodchucks, a poem by Maxine Kumin, a gardener is having problems with woodchucks invading her garden. She attempts to kill the woodchucks with cyanide gas, but the Woodchucks wouldn’t die. The pacifist gardener, resorts to violence and shoots the woodchucks with a rifle. She was hoping for an easy solution but ended up going against her peace loving ways and turned violent. Throughout the poem, Maxine Kumin slowly reveals the underlying meaning of her writing. Kumin emphasizes that there are violent thoughts and tendencies in every individual by referencing real life events, by escalading the tone of the poem, and by using a series of literary devices.
The Caterpillar is a poem which focuses on the previously overlooked actions some of us may partake in, that may not be thought much of, but have short and long lasting effects on a scale we might not be very familiar with. Do we feel remorse for living organisms on a small macroscopic level, or is it just an insignificant part of our complex lives? Is the appreciation of life developed through experiences? Do we feel more pity for a single being that has been through trauma than we do for thousands that have not? In this poem, the conflict between caterpillars and humans is discussed in a such a way that brings up questions about how valuable we perceive other life to be, and how different
What I find most fascinating about this poem is that the author is actually sending a very truthful important message. The prostitute tells the readers the best advice she could give, which is “Keep your bottoms off barstools and marry you young or be left-an old barrel with many a bung” (31). She encourages every woman to choose the right path and not to become someone like her. Living a life of greed and only wanting to reward yourself will result in living the ultimate punishment; lonesomeness. The life of the prostitute is not a funny outcome; it is just another example of the wrong path.
Where are the birds that used to dot the sky? They're not here anymore, and I have to wonder why. Where are the fish that used to swim in this stream? I can't see them anymore.
