Mccaslin Interruptions Poem

An example of Krakauer’ use of interrupters is, “Here, on a low, sun-scorched rise dotted with collas and indigobushes and twelve-foot ocotillo stems, McCandless slept on the sand under a tarp hung from a creosote branch” (Krakauer,

Memorable ideas are evident in Harwood’s poetry. In her poem, “At Mornington”, she considers the philosophical idea that the passing of time leads to gaining of wisdom. Harwood shows that growth and development are a critical part of defining our individuality. She has effectively used poetic techniques such as construction; vivid imagery and the context of her own life to explore this idea and contributed to the textual integrity of the piece. External contextual readings and values of the poem have illuminated the significance of the piece in asserting the value of friendship and relationships, and presented various ideas such as the inevitability of death, the significance that past events and memories play in shaping present perception as well as the defining of individuality through growth and development. Together, this contributes to the memorability of the poem.

It’s hard to find the space to think in a world increasingly dominated by digital media. With “The Thinking Life,” Forni provides a remedy to this ‘age of distraction’ and looks to rediscover the art of serious thinking. The wisdom of classical philosophers like Socrates and Plato is channeled by Forni, as well as everyday situations, in order to explain how we can successfully think our way through an increasingly complex world and live a better

n the introduction of the poem the writer mentions that the poem is meant to relate to the speakers experience with encountering nature. With much thought into this idea, could you not say that you could relate this poem to the experience of the way society is changing today. In our lives we get use to certain people that we could never "unnoticed" them, but there are a couple of others that we may not even bother with or notice they are there. In the first stanza they question the appearance of the fellow and in reality that may be them questioning the appearance of some people in their lives.

Phones should be able out at Glenpool Middle School. Because you never know if there's an emergency at home and your little brother only knows you´re phone number and you don't pick up because you're not allowed to have your phone out. And that's the thing kids should atleast be able to have it in their pocket with the vibrator on. And teacher blab and blab about it's a distraction but it's not. Cell phones are perfectly fine and good to use when needed at school.

TBI is defined as an acquired brain injury that occurs if the head is violently or suddenly struck causing damage to the brain (Shen et al., 2016). This injury may be focal or diffused, open or closed Skull injury depending on the type of causes (Blast, accident, sports related injury, violence) and severity (mild, moderate, severe). Brain injury resulted from external force causes macroscopic tissue damage at the time of injury and initiate cellular processes that evolve over hours and days. Generally, it takes less than 100 milliseconds to initiate the primary injury, which further results in prolonged and progressive pathophysiological events known as secondary injury, the later outcome of the biomolecular and physiological changes following

In Matthew Olson's Contradictions in the Design he articulates discrepancies, uniquities, and hardships that arise in everyday life through poetry. The poems follow all different formats and have distinct narrative qualities however, they all provide commentary on life in some way. “Prayer for an unremarkable day” is right in line with many of the poems from this selection of works thematically, however the literary elements employed by Olsen set this work apart from many of its counterparts. Few poems in Contradictions in the Design are as full of images and are as descriptive as “Prayer for an Unremarkable Day”. By using concrete imagery the intent of the work is greatly amplified by contrasting commonplace images with those of destruction and disaster.

The complexity of Theodore’s poem and its profound sound makes most readers straggle distinguishing between the opposite interpretations of the poem. The reader’s personal experience has a great impact on interpreting the

“In truth, I’ve found that any day’s routine interruptions and distractions don't much hurt a work in progress and may actually help in some ways. It is, after all, the dab of grit that seeps into and oyster’s shell that makes the pearl, not pearl-making seminars with other oysters. And the larger the work looms in my day—is that I hafta instead of just an I wanna—the more problematic it can become. One serious problem with writers’ workshops is that I hafta becomes the rule. You didn’t come, after all, to wander lonely as a cloud, experiencing the beauty of the woods or the grandeur of the mountains. You’re supposed to be writing, dammit, of only so that your colleagues will have something to critique as they toast their goddam marshmallows there in the main lodge. When, on the other hand, making sure the kid gets to his basketball camp on time is every bit as important as your work in progress, there’s a lot less pressure to produce. (232)

Richard Blanco is a Cuban- American poet who was given the oppurunity to write an inaugaration poem for Barack Obama's second swearing-in.

“Contemplations” by Anne Bradstreet is a poem of thirty-three seven-line stanzas. It has an ABAB CCC rhyme scheme. This complex poem exists as a justification of writing as a unity with God that ends with the questioning of humanity’s placement in the hierarchy of the universe. The theme is presented as a tightly woven structure of different concepts, nature and religion go hand and hand. The poet is conflicted because she has hopes of being able to glorify God, but is hindered by a sense of her own insufficiency. The word contemplation is another word for meditations; therefore, this poem provides the reader with several different scenes of meditation. Some of the scenes include the poet mediating on how God made nature and how it is supposed to mirror Heaven. The poet believes that humans need to meditate on this fact on a daily basis and remind themselves of their placement within the universe. “Throughout the poem the poet ultimately resolves that God alone is eternal and human-made objects, designs and history will fade eventually”

In Margaret Morse’s essay “An Ontology of Everyday Distraction: The Freeway, the Mall, and Television,” she investigates the similarities between the freeway, mall, and television in regards to communication within and between surroundings. Although different in the visual aspect, they serve analogously to create a “nonspace,” a disconnected realm of time and space wherein distraction occurs due to the appearance of an “elsewhere” (Morse 193-194). A sense of “derealization” comes with the constant warping of space, and people end up living with the continual communication of ideas. The mobility of communication then inhabits the nonspace, integrating a constant connection with an elsewhere.

The short stanzas containing powerful imagery overwhelm the readers forcing them to imagine the oppression that the speaker went through in

The two disciplines of mechanics and music are often viewed as contradictory as the freely flowing and emotional music contrasts with the predictable and emotionally frigid movement of machines. In the poem “Machines” by Michael Donaghy, he tries to show that there are more similarities than differences between the two and that they are both a parts of life. He relates this to the human experience and crafts the theme that to find balance in life, a person must keep moving forward.
