Over There Poem

Reflection on pg. 34 Night poem by Elie Wiesel In my eyes, this poem is a very powerful work, full of poetic devices that help drive home the point of the poem. This poem is written by Elie after he and his father realize that they have survived selection at Birkenau.

This song is a wakeup call for America to set a better example for the next generation. People are hurting other people. Some are paranoid of what will happen next. Life should not be scary, but there are people afraid to walk out and be among the chaos. Everybody is against one another, and they are not willing to compromise. “It’s time we stop” and look at what we are doing and what has become of us. There are wars for ignorant reasons, there are people hurting, there are innocent children watching, WAKE UP AMERICA! The riots and wars are not worth all of this pain and suffering.

The poem’s form is used to communicate the speaker's emotions in Arnold Adoff poem, “Alone in The Nets”. For example, the poet uses several question marks throughout most of the poem. This conveys that the speaker is unsure of herself since she is constantly questioning why is she at the game, and what she is going to do. Another technique that was used were the ways the stanzas were used. The stanzas were scattered the same way the goalies thoughts were.

When Taps played the laughter ceased, cabin lights turned off and the camp became silent. Taps was a song that campers respected, but had come to dread, as it marked the ending of an exciting day at Camp Onaway. As I stood outside of cabin two listening to Taps play, I couldn’t keep the tears in. I knew that I was hearing it for the last time as a camper. The other chiefs (last year campers) and I walked past the cabins singing a goodnight song, but all I noticed were the soft giggles and shuffling feet of campers moving their mattresses to the floor. It had always been a tradition for campers to sleep on the floor together during their last night of camp, but it was not one that I had ever truly appreciated until that moment. For most campers,

The setting is an imperative factor to determine what type of message an artist would like to send out to the people. George H. Cohan wrote his song “Over There (Johnny, Get Your Gun)” in 1917 when the United States recently had been involved in World War I. In these times, the United States needed to demonstrate optimism and show a positive side of war. It was used as propaganda to make more men join the army. The song became popular among Americans and helped the army to get more soldiers enlisted. On the other hand, Metallica released their song “One” in 1989. During this period of time, the United States was still recovering from World War

In the Egyptian love poems, it is apparent that both the boy and the girl long for their lover when they’re away. In ‘Seven whole days’ the boy talks about how when his love is away he feels ill and no medicine or magic can make him better, only the sight and presence of his beloved can cure him. While in ‘Am I not here with you’ the girl speaks about her worry that the boy will leave once morning comes because food will be more important to him than the girl’s love and whatever relationship they

The poem Hurt Hawks by Robinson Jeffers is a very spiritual poem about a man who finds an injured hawk that will never be able to fly again. The narrator mentions in the poem that he would rather kill a man than a hawk because a hawk has never done anything to him, but there are many people who have done things to hurt him. He takes the Hawk home with him for about six weeks until he realizes that the Hawk would rather die than not be able to fly. He shoots the Hawk and see his spirt fly off. He mentions that the Hawk not only symbolizes other hawks dying but men as well.

In “Sweet Home Alabama,” by Ronnie VanZant, it appears that at least four times, “you” refers to the State of Alabama. VanZant writes, “Sweet home Alabama / Lord, I’m coming home to you,” the “you” being the Southern state. The other two times, “you” could be referring to Neil Young, writer of “Alabama,” because VanZant’s song is a reply to Young’s. “Does your conscience bother you? / Tell the truth.” It could be assumed that VanZant is questioning Young.

As The Star Spangled Banner is heard through the speakers of the football stadium, pride fills the hearts of all the Americans while they stand tall. The sole purpose that the song was written was to get America through a time of war and to instill a sense of strength and pride. The songs main focus is on the star spangled banner or the American flag. When people think of America they picture the red, white, and blue flag with the fifty stars. The American flag gives America something that represents them and that is why they wave the flag around proudly when given the chance. That very same pride that fellow Americans get when waving the flag is the same pride that Francis Scott Key felt as he seen the flag flying over Fort Henry. These following lines of The Star Spangled Banner is proof that Americans should be proud to live in America, “What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last

They said we were separate, But now we are equal. But with this new president, There might be a sequel.

And the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A worldfilled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things, and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be as one."

In the middle of this school the fun starts, although my plan has many parts
