Conjoined by Judith Minty is a poem that represents a broken relationship or a broken marriage. Minty uses similes, metaphors, and analogies to describe the miserable union of two people and the inseparability of the marriage that these two people are in. Marriage; the poem’s subtitle sets the theme of the poem and it is only when one begins to read the poem that it becomes understood as an unhappy poem rather than that of joy and happiness. Minty uses words that with connotations that steer more to the negative side to describe the life of a married couple. Although she does not come right out and say what she means to say, the poem speaks for itself. Orson Scott Card once said, “Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least

Gracyk dissects and responds to Roger Scruton’s philosophy of music that states, “Taste in music matters, and that a search for objective musical values is one part of our search for the right way to live” (138). Scruton believes that music exists in an intentional realm, meaning a person does not need to completely understand music in order to understand its message. People are able to grasp the intentional realm because people are part of a community based on tradition (139). Participation in this advanced culture shapes who people are and what type of music they want to hear. Being able to understand a language allows a person to make inferences and interpret its different meanings.

Drinking age is not a strange phrase in our lives. Every time when we go to club or buy some liquor, we have to show our photo ID to prove that we have already 21 and we are legal to drink wine. I think this is a really good method to control drinking problem. Before I read these two articles which are “The 21-Year-Old Drinking Age: I Voted for it, It Doesn’t Work” by Dr. Morris E. Chafetz and “The Drinking Age of 21 Saves Lives” by Toben F. Nelson and Traci L. Toomey, I only felt that when people grow up they will have self-control to hold their desire for drinking and could decide whether it is appropriate to drink at that moment. I didn’t collect any data or information to support my opinion,

It happened because of the killing of a German officer, Ernst vom Rath by for a Polish Jew called Herschel Gynszpan (Moeller 105). I witnessed the frightful attack by the Nazis on places related to the Jews such as synagogues, their religious sites, and cemeteries (Bergen “Chapter 5”). All their shops’ windows had been smashed broken. The once graceful streets filled with shops have now been replaced by burned debris and fractures of broken glasses. The Nazis did not only attack their shops and dwellings, but they had also arrested and even murder huge number of Jews (Bergen “Chapter 5”). I saw a young girl being hurled down from a building. I wanted to help her but my timidity had locked both my feet on the ground. An owner of a shop had also been captured by the Stormtroopers, which separated him from his crying wife and daughter. At the sight of this, I thought of Bauer and became frightened for his condition. I leaped to his store, only to find an abandoned and distorted place. Fire has consumed Bauer’s shop, shelf was overthrown, glasses were shattered into pieces, and the safety of Bauer is the only one that I can hope for. When will this violence end? It saddens me to know that Germany is no longer the country it used to be, for racialism has covered it, and ‘unity’ has lost its

The group of men lived in guilt for many years. The men were living the massacre night and day over and over. Over the years the the group of men were living

As mentioned before, Irving’s works have a sole focus on the German military, not the Holocaust. As long as Irving does not publish anything inaccurate like his beliefs, he may remain a historian. When it comes to morality, I personally do not believe that you have to agree with someone’s beliefs in determining whether or not they may be considered a historian, especially because Irving isn’t even a historian of the Holocaust. Irving’s denial of the Holocaust does make him questionable as a source, but based on our readings it is suggested that the reasoning behind this is that Irving has blatantly neglected to look at documents that include proof of the Holocaust. It has also been stated that Irving had eventually acknowledged the occurrence of the Holocaust based on a document he had read, although his timing was

When the Austro-Hungarian army attacked, Ged abandoned his dreams and joined the British military. Ged, who spoke often to his parents through letters, told them one day that his best friend, Stuart, had died. Ged coped with his friend’s death by being blunt in the letters to his parents, which helped him accept it and move on. He tells them that Stuart had passed away and that he would try to find the spot where he had been killed. Ged states in his letter, “It makes it more bitter to think of his life going that way, but he could not have died more bravely,” (Garvin, 1) which helps his parents endure the death of his friend by glorifying war and death.

They consider themselves lucky as they were ordered to be shot and killed by the SS Officers before the evacuation but for unexplained reason and the great good fortune of the people left behind, the order was never carried out. The survivors feel extremely happy and one of them said ‘‘I thought we were just goners but when I started hearing bombing and other stuffs, it increased my hope and finally, the Russians arrived and saved us from this hell!’’ .

I see how peoples are set against one another, and in silence, unknowingly, foolishly, obediently, innocently slay one another”(Remarque). He is explaining how he hasn't seen anything good about life in the past few years. All he has seen is the death of his friends and his other comrades that he has grown close to and considered family. The stuff that he saw will never be erased from his memory, he'll have to live with it for the rest of his life. The first friend of his to die was Kimmerch, he died from an amputated leg.

Germinal, based on the landmark novel by Emile Zola, presents a startlingly authentic and powerful look into the tumultuous, tragedy-riddled lives of 19th century French coal miners. Forced to endure hellish conditions, risk death and dismemberment, and work from before dawn until after dusk, these men and women had only one alternative to mining: starvation. Germinal is not a happy story, but it is impossible not to sense the realism that pervades the project.

Exiting Mitchell Hall through the western doors by the Gallery, the air on the UWM campus has a notable bite to it. The wind blows a wrapper around the smooth gray sidewalk until it is lodged in the chain link fence surrounding the crispy husk of the School of the Arts. The students lounging on the benches nearby don’t seem to mind the random gusts of wind, wrapping long scarves tighter around their necks, or pulling sweatshirts out of backpacks and hastily hoisting the garment above their head to ultimately plunge it down to encompass their bodies in it warm embrace. Longing for the extra large red Nebraska Cornhuskers sweatshirt in the front seat of my Buick, my pace toward the Union hastens to avoid another unwelcome breeze.

In the short story, “My Parents’ Bedroom,’ written by Uwem Akpan, the most defining role of literacy that sticks out is symbolism. The images that are engraved into readers brains are ones that have deeper meanings than what we initially see on the surface. The story is told through the eyes of a little girl named, Monique, who is only nine years old. It is told in first person point of view so that the reader feels as if he/she is actually experiencing the situations first hand. The symbolism in the story, “My Parents; Bedroom,” illustrates the day to day struggle of living in Africa during the genocide. Symbolism is
