In the novel, A Lesson Before Dying by _________, the main character, Grant, is trying to console Jefferson. Jefferson has just been framed for a murder he did not commit, and many believe it is because he is black. Two drunk, white men went into a liquor store, already drunk, and attempted to shoot the owner who, in turn, shot back. In the end of the firefight, Jefferson was the only man standing. When at the trial to convince the jury Jefferson did not actually shoot the people, his attorney realizes his attempts at proving Jefferson’s innocence were futile, and says, “What justice would there be to take this life? Justice, gentlemen? Why, I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair as this” (8). He is asking the jury to spare the life of Jefferson, by implying that Jefferson is no more intelligent than a hog. The attorney is white, and is voicing the common belief among whites that all blacks are animals. Throughout the novel, Jefferson becomes haunted by the

First off both poems use many different metaphors to explain how love feels to them. These metaphors help to relate to the theme as it helps the reader sort of visualize what the poet was thinking when they wrote the poem and helps the reader to get a better grasp and understanding of the theme. Both poems also believe in the fact that love is unstoppable. In the poem “Heart to Heart” there is a line where after the speaker explains how love can be hard the speaker then says that “I want I want- but I can’t open it” (Dove 21), which is basically saying that the speaker can’t get away from love and wants it but is having trouble getting through all the complexity of it. This theme also comes up in “What Love Isn’t” as throughout the poem the speaker talks about the negatives and difficulties of love but always adds how it is good and nutritious which is saying that the goods of love can’t be stopped and that love is

In Love Medicine there is there is various types of oppression towards Lulu and Marie for example, usually the oppression is aimed at the culture that they grew up with, the race that character pertains to, and the type of religion they follow. The way how characters are being oppressed is interpreted by the reader using the Feminism School of Literary Criticism. While the use of how these two different cultures interact was meant on purpose by Edrich, and it allowed the Cultures to foil each other. In the book the reader is introduced to the different families and how they interact, there are differences but they do stick together and share a lot of similarities.

A poem is a piece of writing that partakes of the nature of both speech and song that is nearly always rhythmical, usually metaphorical, and that often exhibits such formal elements as meter, rhyme, and stanza structure. In her poem, “Variations of the Word ‘“love”’,” Margaret Atwood introduces to her audience the word “love” from many different perspectives. Google defines “love” as “an intense feeling of deep affection”, or “having a deep feeling or sexual attachment to (someone).” But “love” is not something that can easily be described. Atwood goes on to present and portray the word through different illustrations, beginning with cliché examples and ending with her own personal scenarios. The author’s tone and metaphorical language effectively conveys her perspective of “love”.

In a literary world filled with romance, everything is supposed to be perfect, beautiful, and full of courtly love. Every girls dream is to find her knight in shining armour. A real heroic and brave man who will fight for her, love her and cherish her as any other great knight would. As for the beautiful maiden, she is perfect beyond anything a poet could write about. Any man is unworthy of her love. She is portrayed as untouchable, and unattainable, because of her physical beauty and good qualities. One of the greatest poets to have mastered the marvelous art of courtly love was known as Chrétien De Troyes. Chrétien is best known for, Erec and Enide, and The Knight and the Lion. The poem by Chrétien that stands out from the rest is his work

While people are often able to identify when they feel the emotion love, love itself seems to defy definition.  In her polemic “Against Love”, Laura Kipnis argues that love cannot exist as traditional expressions of love such as marriage, monogamy, and mutuality.  However, in her argument, she defines love incorrectly by equating love to expressions of love. This definition lacks a component essential to understanding the abstract concept of love: emotion. Recognizing love as emotion helps us realize that, contrary to Kipnis’ argument love by nature transcends all expressions of love. Love is subjective and exists in any and all forms. In her argument that love cannot survive as conventional expressions of love, Kipnis ignores the nature of love as emotion in favor of equating love to different expressions of love. Love is a force which exists above expressions of love; a true understanding of love can only come from an assessment of how individuals, not societies, respond to the emotion.

People say that they are “in love” or that that they think they have found “the one” all of the time. Those words have almost become so easy to use but unfortunately it seems like no one really knows the true meaning of them anymore. So what is love? What is true love? As said in The Notebook, “The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more; that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds.”- Noah Calhoun or in Dear John when John says, “and when her lips met mine, I knew that I could to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to the single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever” –John. Both of those quotes are so powerful and so passionate and both of the men saying them to be so in love with their girls. But was either of these situations true love? Most people would say yes and that is probably why both films went on to be two of the most famous and most favorable love films of our time. But other than their amazing story lines and heart throbbing love stories and slight differences, one thing that is so amazing is just how similar their stories really are.

There is a difference between loving someone and being in love. Loving your family or loving a friend is an example of one type of love. It is a type of love when you care about the person a lot and have an emotional attachment. Loving your wife, husband, boyfriend or girlfriend are examples of being in love. This type of love is stronger because you have a passionate desire for the person and or deeper affection for them. To either love someone or be in love the emotion is powerful and can make a person feel and do many wild things. In the poem “Annabel Lee” written by Edgar Allen Poe explains his love for his dead wife, Annabel Lee. Edgar Allen Poe uses symbolism, repetition, and fairytale like words in his poem to convey those

In Dave Margoshes’ free verse poem, “Note to Self” published on June 30, 2015 in the online literary journal, The Rusty Toque, the speaker is writing down their daily to-do list. Margoshes allows the reader to delve into a piece that combines intimacy with the bluntness of the simple language used. The varied word choice and syntax describe the character behind the writer of the list. In combination, the use of repetition emphasizes key elements in the relationship with the lover. Finally, the structure is used to contrast specific details revealed with vague ideas presented. Using these devices, Margoshes creates an image of how this individual lacks sensitivity and understanding of the sanctity of a relationship by turning it into just another thing-to-do.

In the poem, The Love song, written by T.S. Elliot, J Alfred Prufrock is a man who is very lonely and insecure. He goes throughout his life wishing for a change, but never stepping up to the plate and actually making a change.

The reader soon found out later that the poem is just the opposite from the title, a sad, lonesome man who is not only lacking love, but also lacking self confidence and self esteem.

Though “No Greater Love” was written in 1991, in the contemporary period (continuation of postmodernism) of American literature, the work is considered to be a historical fiction, as it involves the events that happened in the history – Titanic and World War 1. Danielle Steel masterfully used these events with details without exaggeration. You may ask why she chose this genre, the answer is evident, the story based on historical events or characters is much real to our life than other novels of different genres. In the work of historical fiction there is much more to learn as it is often about life experience.
