Summary Of The Poem ' This Earth Of Mankind '

“The Explorer” was written during the civil rights movement when Brooks started to focus on writing for the black community. Through the blood, sweat, and sacrifice her community experiences every day, she is inspired to write this particular piece to show that African Americans, although are scared, will keep fighting and searching for their utopia. Starting from stanza one, the word “frayed” stands out the most. Repeated twice, it immediately tells the reader that the situation is not that of hope and is life changing to the main character. “Still spot” also references that the main character is looking for a quiet setting. The theme of quiet and peace is renounced in stanza two as words such as “velvet peace” and “willy hush” also go along with the peace and quiet theme. Now, the reader gains a better sense of the financial condition of the main character. “Tatters” makes the reader think that the main character is poor and financially challenged, and knowing Brooks’ purpose of the poem is about revitalizing hope for the black community, the main character is most likely black male. Moreover, Brooks inserts a metaphor that comprises most of the stanza and ultimately depicts that the character in the poem is trying to find peace and quiet both within a house and his mind (Poem 3). Next in stanza three, the main purpose of this stanza is to describe what exactly is happening to the main character. “Tipping down the scrambled halls” reveals that the main character does not

Their A&R man said “I don't hear a single”. This is a line from tom petty's into the great wide open. Eddie just graduated and now he moved to California and got a tattoo and met a girl, who he now lives with. Tom petty's song “Into The Great Wide Open” is the story of Eddie a quick leaning musician and his rise and fall from fame using a shifting tone and unrealistic fashion.

Imagine being on top of the world to than have it all taken away. This is what happened to Eddie in the poem “The Great Wide Open”. This story is about a young man named Eddie that finishes High School. Than moves to hollywood to pursue his dream of becoming a singer while getting fame and wealth. As time moves on Eddie experiences success when one of his songs becomes a top hit. But then he gets it all taken away from him because an A & R Man thinks he won't make another hit. Throughout the story the author uses a curious tone that's in my opinion realistic.

Every country has their own culture and it is expressed through their own traditional factors such as language and education. When a culture attempts to dominate a different culture, individuals of minor culture could easily be isolated. In Brian Friel’s Translation, he shows a several issues that could be simultaneously occurred by colonialism.

The Canadian national identity is generally reputed to be unalike the American one, since ours is deemed as a convulated identity. Miriam Waddington, the sole writer of the poem, demonstrates that she supports the idea of Canadians having a convoluted, uncertain and insecure sense of national identity by answering the question" What is a Canadian?" with also another question. Additionally, towards the end of the poem, we can clearly see that she's trying to convey this message by mentionning this: ''... a yes-no somehow or-other maybe might-be should-be could-be, glacial shield, grain elevator, empire daughter imperial order of man women child or what?''. The given references are employed in the poem in order to strengthen the central idea of the writer.

“Pretty good, I’m sure I’ll have a few bruises later, but I love the sport,” and with that he pulled away from my house and we were on our way to the diner.

     The goals of this paper have changed throughout the course of my research. At first, I didn’t even know what an nkisi was, let alone did I know where I wanted to go with this paper. After doing my research though, I have decided against a paper completely focused on original ideas. Instead, my goal of this paper is to use the things that I learned in our anthropology class, and apply them to minkisi. By applying the things I have learned in the readings from our class, I have learned a lot more about minkisi than I could ever gain by just reading a few books. I will especially focus on the works of Deetz, Vlach, and the authors about folk objects. I will also focus on what we talked about in class about “usable truth” when referring to objects associated with slave resistance.

The poet is disheartened with both the facts. He says that the soldier that fight, especially in the vanguard of the army, have funerals with the rejections of all rituals, for example, no flowers, no candles and not even their dead bodies. He concludes that first the soldiers are not sent but forced to fight in the war and then when they die their funeral is carried out for formality with no respect or even sympathy. He calls these rituals "mockeries" in a bitter and furious tone in the octet of the sonnet and the choruses "shrill, demented" and compares it to the falling of bullets of machine guns on the ground when he says "wailing shells"

Ted Kooser, the thirteenth Poet Laureate of the United States and Pulitzer Prize winner, is known for his honest and accessible writing. Kooser’s poem “A Spiral Notebook” was published in 2004, in the book Good Poems for Hard Times, depicting a spiral notebook as something that represents more than its appearance. Through the use of imagery, diction, and structure, Ted Kooser reveals the reality of a spiral notebook to be a canvas of possibilities and goes deeper to portray the increasing complexities in life as we age.

How would you feel to have a father, mother, sister or brother taken away because of the treachery war .Good morning Mrs Naidoo and fellow classmates, today I will be analysing Christopher Wallace-Crabbe’s Australian War poem Other people and how it highlights how it has impacted the reader in offering insights on the Australian context.

“The Sky is Gray” by Ernest Gaines is a realistic example of a long epidemic has hovered over the African American community like an dark storm cloud just waiting to burst. Personally, this story called to me, like I was meant to read it. The mother in this short story reminds me of my own mother. Stepping into that masculine role to show strength and provide for her family. Then, teaching her son these harsh life lessons to ensure his survival in a society that is not welcoming to an African American man; act rationally, not emotionally.
