In Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, the main character, Kaz, has grown up without a real home for the majority of his life. However, while his tangible home consists only of a small room in a gambling house, throughout the series he realizes his real home is with his crew -- his friends. While not exactly realizing this consciously, Kaz demonstrates this subconscious realization many times, when his crew are in life and death situations, and he perseveres to make sure everyone is safe. Similarly, The Odyssey by Homer and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, while two very different texts, both focus on the symbol of home. The Odyssey focuses on the struggles of Greek hero Odysseus as he tries to return to his home Ithaca but faces obstacles and temptations along the way. Of Mice and Men follows two migrant workers, George and Lennie and their struggle to achieve their dreams and live a happy life in a world where reaching one’s goal is extremely hard.

In Ben Johnson’s “To the Memory of My Beloved, The Author, Mr. William Shakespeare, and What He Hath Left Us”, Johnson dictates a dramatically sycophantic poem in honor of the late William Shakespeare. With his superficial, dramatic style, Johnson unveils his own envious attitude within the unbegotten admiration he appoints throughout the poem. By complimenting Shakespeare through this ironic voice, Johnson insincerely praises Shakespeare’s legacy in a clever attempt to highlight Shakespeare’s minute but mentionable flaws. Throughout the commemorational poem, Johnson cleverly praises Shakespeare’s seemingly incomparable success as a poet by incorporating other famous poets as a belittling contrast. While meant as a friendly coup de grâce, Johnson’s assessment of Shakespeare is Johnson’s ultimate attempt to align himself with Shakespeare, bearing praise unto himself as well. In a poem meant to highlight and enunciate Shakespeare’s unparalleled skill and talent, Johnson instead attempts to expose his faults in hopes of bringing Shakespeare closer to himself.

Before the performance began, the narrator observed that Sonny “put both hands on his heart and bowed from the waist” (Baldwin 310). Shortly after, they began to play and the narrator came to the epiphany that each musician had their own voice through their instrument. As the musicians talk to each other through their improvisation of playing, Creole pushes Sonny to speak for himself. The narrator watched his brother suffering to play the piano, as if he were scared. What Creole really wanted was for “Sonny to leave the shoreline and strike out for the deep water” (Baldwin 311). In a religious view, one can see how the performance symbolizes a baptism. Sonny confessed his sins to his brother during their conversation after the revival meet

They use many poetic conventions to explain their poem 's ideas, both writers use a blackbird to compare to humans and human nature, and imagery plays a big role in getting across their points.

The theme of the song gives Herald the strength to find his identity and to find his daughter Zonia returning to her lost mother Martha.

It is the dream about a better life, stable future, and happiness. African Americans were ready for the movement from slavery to freedom and especially, the path to find themselves- who they are, where they belong, and what their purpose in the whole life.

Alex Colville is a famous painter who was s student at Mount Allison. His subject matter is his family, animals he keeps, landscapes near from his home. I will analyze "Seven Crows(1980)" which was painted by Alex Coville. We can see crows are winding a river and surrounding a field. He depicted this painting based on realism.
