The theme of this book is that the human capacity to adapt to and find happiness in the most difficult circumstances. Each character in the novel shows this in their way. For instance, their family is randomly taken from their home and forced to

Yeats refers to “neighbors” which are people near the good and bad. These “neighbors” that surrounded the good and bad “figured plain” meaning if they thought out clearly, they would not find a “single case” of people who have “an unbroken happy mind” or who have “a finish worthy of the start” meaning who fulfilled their potential. I believe Yeats contrasted good and bad people

It tries to give the characters some happiness so that they can push themselves to survive. I find this quote very important in the story, because this quote builds up to the character realizing what

I strongly believe that you should read this well developed book, for it has fascinating characters, the great message, and the astounding plot. The 14 year old and main protagonist of the story named Stanley Yelnats goes through a series of unfortunate events that leads him into an abusive camp.

William Butler Yeats is one of the most esteemed poets in 20th century literature and is well known for his Irish poetry. While Yeats was born in Ireland, he spent most of his adolescent years in London with his family. It wasn’t until he was a teenager that he later moved back to Ireland. He attended the Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin and joined the Theosophical Society soon after moving back. He was surrounded by Irish influences most of his life, but it was his commitment to those influences and his heritage that truly affected his poetry. William Butler Yeats’s poetry exemplifies how an author’s Irish identity can help create and influence his work.

The other Wes Moore by Wes Moore. The novel is about two boys that grew up on the same neighborhood but toke different paths in their life. Two boys that grew up in the same neighborhood but toke complete different paths like author Wes joining the army and becoming an author while the other Wes takes the wrong path and ends up life sentenced.

He get’s along great with Zero and teaches him how to read. “I’ll try

the most important literary elements in the story. He takes a young black boy and puts

The poem begins in a manner suggestive of a lover scorned. Yeats talks about how passionate women, which at this point in time is not necessarily a compliment, don’t consider love that is a sure thing worth their time and energy. Essentially it is a poetized version of the “Nice guys finish last” argument, along with the idea that people only desire what

Even before introducing the physical setting, Achebe skillfully places this poem at the beginning of the book to foreshadow the life parallelling ending of Things Fall Apart. By gyre, Yeats is referring to the twisting and constantly expanding spiral of chaos that will unfold. The falcon, representing the characters, no longer can hear their roots and become lost in the sea of Christianity and the invasion of the British.
