Milk And Honey Personal Response

“Raw milk today is a fringe movement, a crusade of underdogs, a pesky mouse against the entrenched lions of medicine and industry.” The book The Untold Story of Milk begins with the undesirable situation of raw milk in today’s society.

This poet chose to show various types of emotion with the themes of this poem. This poem has a purpose of demonstrating of how easy it is to become vulnerable of these moments of despair in one’s lifetime, especially when it comes to love. Life is based around love, people develop great unexplained heart filled feelings, it can even take place in the midst of just a few moments, to ignite that “love at first sight” feeling. When one gives another their heart, he/she must thoroughly trust that their chosen one truly does love them, because from the moment that one experiences love with another person they never truly know if they do. This feeling is very critical for a couple in a relationship. So, when things take a rough path, and one becomes unhappy it may take the other by surprise and catch them at a vulnerable state of mind and heart. This would cause for it to take a

The study of any poem often begins with its imagery. Being the centralized idea behind the power of poetry, imagery isn’t always there to just give a mental picture when reading the poem, but has other purposes. Imagery can speak to the five senses using figurative language as well as help create a specific emotion that the author is trying to infuse within the poem. It helps convey a complete human experience a very minimal amount of words. In this group of poems the author uses imagery to show that humanity is characterized as lost, sorrowful and regretful, but nature is untainted by being free of mistakes and flaws and by taking time to take in its attributes it can help humans have a sense of peace, purity, and joy, as well as a sense of

The poem ‘A kind of love some say’ is one of Maya's more emotional poems. The reader gets the feeling that the poet is discussing the pain that comes from an abusive relationship, both physically and mentally. She compares the differences between both physical and mental anguish, giving the impression that

In our life, we already read more and more poems talk about “love”, it was common for everyone to know what about the love. When I first read Billy Collin’s “Aimless Love”, this poem was bringing something new to me.

Personally, I enjoy this paragraph of the poem because it carries a heavy message about being distant. Distant with the one you love. When he mentions being “hungry” I believe he refers to the fact that he and his lover, have nothing else between each other and are suffering.

Poetry is a beautiful way to express the subtext within it, using literary devices which enhances the poem 's beauty. Poetry is considered to take distorted ideas and transforms it into beautiful words. Therefore, resulting the harsh truth being displayed in a form of a poem for readers to sink into another point of view. These creators called poets, are a group of people with a wide variety of experiences that an average person does not usually experience. They can create a more unified meaning in their masterpiece, without taking up 300 pages to exhibit their meaning, and still hold different interpretations by different readers. Poets are known to uncover the truth, which could be their experiences or reality based ideas, by beautifying the reality with literary devices to make it more relatable and enjoyable but still hold that very core of the meaning behind the poem. Poetry is a powerful vessel, between creator and reader, to change a person’s outlook of life or one’s surroundings. A poem can change moods, enhances one’s personality, gain a sense of people knowledge and become a bit more sensitive around one 's world. Even if poets are not aware of the power poetry holds, they still do it to convey an experience, a lesson or a journey. All of this relates to 'Love and Roses ' by Tracy Marshall, where the speaker is telling the reader a journey of their blinding love. The abusive relationship exists in the speaker 's life but is distracted by the idea of the

The tone of this poem is a mixture of emotions. She seems to enjoy being in his company, although the stories he shares break her heart. She expresses her conflicting feeling when she states the following:

The third stanza goes on to define the pain, only now in more emotional terms, such as "It hurts to thwart the reflexes / of grab, of clutch" (14-15), as well as the pain of continuously having to say good bye, each perhaps as if for the last time: "to love and let / go again and again" (15-16). These lines reinforce the impression that the first stanza's definition of "to love differently" is in fact an anti-freedom or state of emotional anarchy, now using words like "pester" to describe any separation; the poet is compelled "to remember / the lover who is not in the bed" (16), hinting at obsessive tendencies as being possible components of the relationship. We also learn that she believes love requires work, which she cannot do without her partner's assistance, and that this lack of cooperation frustrates her. She believes this neglected effort is the other party's fault by his failure to do his fair share, thereby leaving her own efforts ineffective, the whole of it characterized as an effort "that gutters like a candle in a cave / without air" (19-20). Her demands of this work are quite broad, encompassing being "conscious, conscientious and concrete" in her efforts and optimistically calling this work "constructive" (20-21) before ending the stanza.

The reader begins to wonder if it is actually just the man she is afraid to be in love with rather than the idea of love itself. According to her, the man sees her simply as a problem that he can solve with his wits and charm, suggesting that he would not be interested in her once she has dissolved in the heat of his charm. Perhaps she is aware that this man might not be a good choice for her, yet she cannot control her feelings for him. However, in the following lines, she expresses her own incapacity to survive and be happy, bringing the reader back to the theme she started the poem with. Despite being blown away by his acts of kindness time after time, she finds herself beyond recovery and asks the man to reconsider his intentions since she is a problem he might never be able to solve. Therefore, the second stanza shows the grave nature of the poet's

In chapter one, also known as ‘the hurting’, the author focuses on trauma that people have dealt with such as sexual abuse from a father or relative, failed relationships with parents, and difficulty with one’s self-expression. One of the poems in chapter one states that the girl’s first kiss was by the age of five and was carried out in an aggressive manner by the young boy, she assumes that he had picked that up from his father’s interactions with the mother. In the poem it says “He had the smell of starvation on his lips which he picked up from his father feasting on his mother at 4 a.m.” It is insinuated that the father uses forceful actions towards the mother during times that should be gentle and affectionate. In that specific poem she felt as if that was when she was taught that her body is only for giving to those who wanted out of satisfaction but she should feel ‘anything less than whole’. In another poem in chapter one, there is a family setting during dinner in which the father orders the mother to hush. This represents how women are constantly oppressed in their own

In her poem “Heart”, Lydia Davis, depicts the struggle between emotions and consciousness in an ordinary person life. This poem, “HEART”, has a way to show the audience in a simple way on how we feel after a losing someone through death or when we are feeling strong emotions such as love and hate. For example, in the first line “Heart Weeps” tells us that it’s the beginning of a broken heart after the loss of someone close whether because they died or ended a relationship. In the second line, “Head tries to help heart” tells the audience that the heart and head struggle as they confront each other and come into debate with emotions, trying to reason or feel for the current situation. In the fourth to sixth line, “Head tells heart how it is, again: You

As years go by, one soon comes to realize that there will always be feelings and emotions that they cannot avoid no matter how hard one tries. Death is an inevitable force one cannot escape from. On the other hand childbirth in most cases brings joy. When someone is emotionally attached to another being, and it dies, no matter how hard the living try to feel happiness for the dead. The reality is, significant events are supposed to make you feel something, whether it’s mourning it, or rejoicing it. Throughout life, there are many opposing forces; happiness and sadness, fear and courage, weakness and strength. In War Horse and The Book Thief, the most common, and one of the hardest to deal with, is beauty and ugliness.

During the Cold War, the Soviets were trying to spread communism throughout Europe and Asia by exalting its achievements, and undermining democracy. Part of their approach was by launching ‘Hate-America’ propaganda. “As the Cold War intensified, the Truman administration launched an aggressive “Campaign of Truth” […] to counter the Soviet Union propaganda machine (Ubah, 2012).” The Campaign of Truth was created to help convince the world that the United States has “no purpose of going to war, except in the defense of freedom. (Vaccaro, 1950)” Truman encouraged the media to show the world that the United States was ‘wholly dedicated to the cause of peace (Vaccaro,
