In “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke, was a great poem that can mean many different things to many different people of this world. To me I think it was just a boy who just wanted to spend time with his dad before he has to go to bed. The boy probably does not get to spend time with his dad that much. The father probably works all day and all week and this is the only time the boy gets to spend with him. Roethke use of words in this poem is amazing. The use of the words in this story can mean

People listen to music for a variety of reasons. Some listen to music to relax in which it serves as a sort of escape from everyday life, some because they are a fan and follow a certain artist, and others because they can relate the lyrics to their own personal experiences. Whichever the case may be, music has and continues to serve an important role in people’s lives.

People who download music think it's something they can get away

“A Worn Path”      “A Worn Path” is, in my opinion, a very good story. It tells of an old black woman and the struggles she’s had to deal with throughout her life. The author names the woman Phoenix after a mythological bird that died and then came back to life through its ashes which makes it immortal. The author makes the woman “immortal” because she continues to have something to live for, her grandson, whom she apparently considers her biggest gift.      The

Every girl dreams to have flawless hair, perfect looks, and a slim body with a huge house, perfect car, and an amazing boyfriend, family, and friends. Many young girls get this visualization from the one and only Barbie. Barbie is known to be the “perfect doll” with a perfect lifestyle and look, but in reality she is ruining the self esteem and lives of imperfect children. On average, a girl in the early stages of childhood owns about seven to ten different Barbie dolls and spends multiple hours

than the band ICP, or Insane Clown Posse. ICP was considered a “rebel group” in Detroit. This was an era before hipsters, but the idea was much the same. Teenagers turned to this band because it wasn’t backed by any large cooperate media, so it was their personal way of fighting big businesses. However, this didn’t last. Eventually, they got signed to a major record company, which began producing them as an off-beat rebel group. This lead to the teenagers picking up the style, thinking that it was

Seed, a book by Lisa Heathfield, applies the idea that knowledge is power, but ignorance is bliss through the character development of Pearl, the depth of settings and ambiguity. Seed’s narrative quality explores that knowledge does not always make one influential, however, not acquiring knowledge is a relieving sensation. The development of Pearl was highlighted through the narration of the book, explicitly describing how she felt when Ellis would express his conflicting opinions on Papa S’s practices

There is something intriguing and mysterious about a once famous star who draws a huge fan base then suddenly disappears from the scene of stardom like he never was.

The director of this documentary, Malik Bendjeloul, goes deep into the vast land of South Africa to piece together pieces of this once famous artist, shedding some

Cloverfield and Thin Blue Line were two very different films, but they could be compared in various ways.

Aside from the contrast, the realist aesthetics of Cloverfield and Thin Blue Line are very similar in the topics of on-camera interviews, deep focus, handheld camera, and textual information on screen.
