In her poetry, Bernadette Mayer spoke honestly about her opinions and feelings about motherhood; this was something that wasn’t commonplace at the time. It was often expected, and ingrained into women, that they were to have children and be nurturers, and Bernadette was no exception. She had children, but through her poetry, she expressed her conflicting emotions and thoughts about the way her world operates.

When the 1980s rolled around I was finishing university. I was still sad that my high school years were behind me and nostalgic about the music I enjoyed while growing up. During this time in Los Angeles, California started a new musical trend known as “glam rock”. It blew in with bands such as Motley Crue performing in the clubs around the city. Pretty much this kind of music was either you liked it or you didn’t care for it. However a band changed all that by showing a different side to his music that was a tender side.
By becoming an addict to drugs, Whitney Houston was shunned and gossiped about in all types of social media including newspapers, live television shows, word of mouth, magazines, online articles, etc. As a drug addict who has all of the attention on her, Houston became one of “those people” whom a person would expect nothing less of. And therefore was another famous individual who was struggling with illegal drugs. However, by releasing new albums and topping the charts with her songs, some of the public started to believe that maybe this time Houston will finally have dug herself out of the hole she created and redeemed herself. But that only lasted until time passed and proved the public wrong.

Keith Richards is married to twenty-three year old Clara. Clara and Richards are deeply in love but the relationship is already hanging by a thread. Himes comments “If I really loved, baby, I would blow out your brains. Right now! Because all you can ever look forward to, baby, is never having anything you ever dream about.” (Himes, 26) This is how detrimental the psychological effects are in Richards. At this point in the story Richards can almost be labeled as a pessimist with such an amount of stunning and depressing statements. Himes ends this short-story with an optimistic thought of his pride being priceless with him working for the Army. The value of his pride, and being prepared to do anything to keep it is what brought Keith Richards thus far.
