This is greatly contrasted by the speaker in Milton’s “When I Consider How My Light Is Spent”. It is first important to mention that the author of this poem, John Milton, suffered from glaucoma and eventually went blind. Due to this information, it can be implied that Milton’s gradual loss of sight was a source of inspiration for this sonnet and that Milton is the speaker of the poem. Therefore the word “light” (Milton, 1) can metaphorically take on multiple meanings such as his talent (as it is the light that he brings to the world) or his vision (as one goes blind the world becomes increasingly darker and the ability to see light decreases). Milton losing his vision would be an impediment to his talent (which is his writing) so when he worries that he has spent his “light” (Milton, 1) unwisely it essentially means that he fears that he has wasted his talent. While King Ozymandias’ legacy comes from how effectively he ruled his kingdom, Milton’s legacy comes from his talent of writing. Although Milton wants to continue his legacy he fears that through blindness that his talent will become “useless” (Milton, 4). The anxiety that Milton has is enhanced by the allusion to “The Parable of Talents” from Matthew 25 in the Bible. In “The Parable of Talents”, a lord gives three of his servants a talent each (talent in this case meaning the ancient currency). The first two servants invest their talents while the

In the exceptional novel All the Light We Cannot See, author Anthony Doerr, tells the story of two young adults whom had to experience life during World War II.

I’m reading Horrible Science: Frightening Light it talks about the light that is blindingly obvious. It’s just sunshine and the light-bulb in your living room. The science of light is full of sizzling, squishy, horrid facts that teachers like to keep you in the dark. This book told me how lethal laser beams can sizzle human flesh, why dead bodies make ghostly glowing lights, how rattlesnakes can find you in the dark, why contact lenses were moulded from dead people’s eyeballs, how eclipses turn night into day, how stars have colours we can’t see, how to use light to zap enemy missiles. Through this story I learned many helpful lessons about the light.

Firstly, an article that relates to my racial identity is called “Yearning For Lightness, Transnational Circuits in the Marketing and Consumption of Skin Lighteners.” This article was written by Evelyn Nakano Glenn. The purpose of this article was to examine the cultural and traditional boundaries associated with the profitable growth and large consumption of skin-lightning products across the world. Additionally, author Glenn focused on the practice of skin-lightness and the marketing of skin-lightning products within the African and African-American cultures (Glenn, 282). Findings from this article indicated that skin-lightning practices can be justified as a form of discrimination against people of dark skin color. In other words, skin bleaching

The two stories “The Light” and “The Black” may sound similar, but they are still completely different. One is about living people and them being haunted, the other is about the dead and what their life is like. But if you have read the two books, you would know that they share something similar. The theme. The theme in these stories is to take control of your life, don’t let other people control it for you.

This line compares the endurance of a laurel, a symbol of glory and victory, to the endurance of a rose. This helps compare and contrast the absolute positivity of glory and victory to death and the unknown.

The author uses light and dark imagery to show how Brave he is trying to be when the world around him is falling apart as shown in the quote “But do not let thy strength and courage fail”. He shows how it's okay to be worried in a frightening space when a lot goes wrong, because everyone has bravery hidden in them and it will come out when needed most. He also shows how facing your fears can be a really good thing sometimes. The act of bravery can really help face fears when all darkness will come over and try to take and haunt you.The author shows how even with bravery will eventually overtake darkness. Light and darkness contrast in the article and sho0w their different ways.

When Rick Hendry is contacted by a federal agent to help investigate a growing number of mysterious vanishings across Australia, he finds himself immersed in a world where normal is a very narrow view of reality.

Loaded words influence the audience by eliciting an emotional response beyond their literal meaning. In order to promote the theme, loaded words aid imagery that draws the reader’s attention. The author, Bel Dao, uses loaded words in his poem “Language” to support the imagery that emphasizes the theme of nature. “... the beast on the cliff / run past, trampling the flowers / a dandelion grows secretly”(Dao p.146). However, loaded words can develop the theme of nature and in turn aid in developing the deeper meaning of a story or a poem. Shu Ting uses the theme of nature, which is developed with loaded words, to

In stanzas one and two, through repetition of certain phrases and words, a sensation of steady progression is felt. As in the lilting phrase, “Half a league-/ half a league-/ Half a league onward” (1-2) the pulsing advance can be

Literary features are often used by poets as beasts of burden to carry the true meaning of the poem to their readers. Robert Frost’s “Out, Out—” tells the account of how a Vermont boy died in a tragic carpentry accident. Due to the excitement brought on by the thought of his working day being over and his own inexperience, the boy accidentally saws off his own hand and quickly enters into the literal “ether” while under “the dark of ether”, anesthesia, as the doctor is attempting to save the boy. In the title Frost alludes to one of Shakespeare’s most famous of lines, “Out, out, brief candle!”, immediately bringing forth thoughts on the brief and unpredictable nature of life and man’s, at times, callous nature towards it, that were evoked when they were first

The latter part of our semester has been centered around Black feminists. Their work has been focused on the ways in which the intersectionality of gender and sexuality influence the lives of women who live under systems of oppression in the United States. These systems that deeply affect the way bodies of color, Black women very specifically, are able to conduct their lives. Black women in particular, are vulnerable to these systems in a way unlike any other body in America. Thinking back on the writings of Beth E. Richie, Angela Davis, and Audre Lord, I now see Assata Shakur’s “Affirmation” in a new light. “Affirmation” is a poem that speaks to the pain and suffering Black bodies have endured, and even through all of this pain, it speaks of optimism. I argue, that through the lens of Black feminism, we can re-examine many organizations and institutions in a way that can be truly be more inclusive of people of all walks of life. If systems were created with regard for the most targeted groups of people and not just the “majority”, we may truly see inclusive settings and we can benefit from the membership of people from different races, class, gender identity, sexual orientation and age in these institutions.

“A sudden light broke in upon me— a light so brilliant and wondrous, yet so simple, that
