The two poems “December 1919” and “Harlem Shadows” show McKays admiration for women. He indicates that they are special by the love he shows toward his mother and the sorrow he shows toward the prostitutes in Harlem. Because of his love for women, we can see that he has hope, and wants the prostitutes represented in “Harlem Shadows” to do better, so that he and many others can have the same love and respect for them as he does for his mom in “December 1919”.

For example, O’Brien starts the story off writing, “One morning in late July, while we were out on patrol near LZ Gator, Lee Strunk and Dave Jensen got into a fistfight.” This exhibits that the passage is written in an omniscient point of view. The author then explains how after Dave Jensen left Strunk in a splint and covered in gauze, “Jensen couldn’t relax. Like fighting two wars he said.” The anger and fear of Jensen can be compared to that of the writer of the poem. In the end, Jensen breaks his own nose and goes to Strunk to ask him if everything was square between them. Strunk responded by saying things were already square. This shows that Dave had been eating himself up inside over nothing. Although the passage is written from an omniscient perspective instead of first person, it also creates the central idea that building up anger and fear can lead to awful

In the middle of the poem, the speaker arrives at the number of casualties from the war. When he reads this number he can’t believe that he is still alive. As he reads down the names he uses the visual imagery and simile to describe how he expected to find his own name in “letters like smoke” (line 16). This helps the reader understand how lucky the speaker felt about somehow escaping the war still alive. As he goes

Claude McKay’s poems reflect on American culture during a specific time in history, known as Harlem Renaissance. A time where racism was predominately a way of living for many, this was a beneficial time in history for African Americans. Bringing blacks together in a new movement that had not been present in America. Development in which blacks emphasized themselves by taking on their racial identity. It was a time period in which the black community helped each other to be able to express themselves as who they truly are, creating a true African American visual doing so

A group of men is referred in the poem to being wanderers and is is described as “Lazy, purposeless, and useless — knocking round and hanging out. “. The listing of words signifies what the society thinks of these people who do not follow the crowd. Likewise, the repetition of “they” in “They will take what they can get,” alludes to the selfishness from the constant referral to the point of absolute self-interest. Choice in forceful verbs like “take” and “get” also emphasises the narrator’s perspective of the group. Absolute self-interest causes a barrier to belonging and therefore Henry Lawson insinuates it leads to the isolation of individuals in

His return with a grocery sack of "many human ears," which he spills on the table, provides the central barbaric image of the poem. The victims are the final witness to the unspeakable crimes which are taking place. "Some of the ears on the floor were pressed to the ground;" listening and witnessing to the truth which can't be hidden and can't be silenced. In spite of the colonel's reaction to those standing up to condemn the cruelties and injustices; "as for the rights of anyone, tell your people they can fuck themselves," the spirit of the victims lives on in those mutilated relics. Pressed to the ground they listen with hope for a future beyond the

‘Are you lifting the oxcart out of the ditch?’, ‘Are you tearing up the pea patch?’, ‘Are you hollering down the rain barrel?’, ‘Are you scraping around the bottom of the pickle barrel?’, and ‘Are you sitting in the catbird seat?’ (Thurber 368). It helps give rise to the conflict, and helps to give a distinct picture of the difference between Mr. Martin and Mrs. Barrows, and why he dislikes her so much.

Fairchilds argues that debates over women’s political rights were neither the only nor the most significant causes for the emergence of Revolutionary regulations of dress. She suggests that these regulations emerged due to the policy of consumption and consumer goods, which was shaped by two contradictory notions: the notion that consumers had the right to buy what they wanted and the notion that goods had symbolic, formative and didactic traits that reflected and shaped the consumer’s personality. Through the examination of the Old Regime luxury debates, Fairchilds explains the beginnings of these ideas and how they influenced Revolutionary policies towards dress. In addition, she suggests that the concept that fashion reflects an individual’s

causes the poem to flow, and thus lightens up the dark and serious issue of war. The lines "But ranged as infantry, And staring face to face, I shot at him as he at me, And killed him in his place." are easy to read; however, their meaning is extremely

Claude McKay was an important figure during the 1920's in the Harlem Rennaisance. Primarily a poet, McKay used the point of view of the outsider as a prevalent theme in his works. This is best observed in such poems as "Outcast," "America," and "The White House." In these poems, McKay portrays the African-American as the outsiderof western society and its politics and laws and at times, the very land that he is native to.

She took the words for a stroll and the words bit the children and the children told their parents and the parents loaded their guns and the words wailed, howled slowly licked their blind wounds until they fell flat on their faces onto the bloody earth. One asked if we served the enemy, but we took enemy to mean a seed that sits quietly underfoot, abashed to vestibule the grating sun. and he saw death hanging from its shadow and sobbing it told him, “Come with me today we’re in mourning”

Both men took a shot, and the man (the speaker) was aiming at dropped to the floor. He immediately starts off with the next stanza trying to explain as to why he did it “I shot him dead because — Because he was my foe.” This quote shows that some men know the killing they did was senseless but they try and suppress the thoughts and even try to change the way they feel about it by repeatedly telling themselves different reasons as to why they did it. The final stanzas talk about how the two men were one in the same, they both enlisted in the war, and both were in the infantry, the man felt as if they were the same person. The closing words of the poem open the reader's eyes about war by saying “You shoot a fellow down, You'd treat if met where any bar is, Or help to half-a-crown.”

The next verse seems to focus on the events that happened at Altamont in 1969. “The flower children gathered at Altamont, 300,000 strong, in a frenzy of drugs, alcohol and escalating violence” (Fann). McLean is pointing out here that the ideas of the counterculture are obviously not going to
