teach boys that instead of being sensitive they should give off a fear inducing energy which in turn allows them to maintain an indestructible, hard outer shell. Society in turn shapes masks of anger and aggression for boys and men to wear. For example, studies show that men who experience feelings of shame and

Traveling through the seas, is a desire many people have. Traveling all the Atlantic from Europe to America, watching the wonders and amazing natural views that the world offers. These was the idea of many passengers at the Titanic in the 1953 film directed by Jean Negulesco and the 1997 film directed by James Cameron both called “Titanic.” These two films were inspired by a real catastrophic disaster, which took place in the Atlantic Ocean in 1912, where a ship called “Titanic” sank after hitting

This week’s readings, virtual visits, and film, were all excellent insights to the lives of people living in America but in different situations. The two stories that stand out to me most are Franny Kelly and Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins. Kelly wrote about her capture by Native Americans while Hopkins wrote about her travels westward. Kelly, a white girl, expressed her fear of the Native Americans and related them as being savage and barbaric. To describe the Native American lifestyle, Kelly used the

Sherwood Anderson and in “What lips my lips have kissed” by Edna ST. Vincent Millay are both feeling a sense of loneliness without the presence of men in their life .In the story by Anderson, a young woman giving herself away to a man that moved away and never came back to her. In the poem by Millay, the womans lonely and she is reminiscing about the men she has had in the past and now she in alone with no one. Anderson and Millay construct their writings with the settings, time, and the women’s actions

also affect those who gather to listen to his music. The hope that they feel from listening to Albinoni’s Adagio is so precious that the men on the hill send a sniper to kill the cellist, instead of shelling, to make a statement. While Dragan converses with Emina, she tells him about the cellist and the sad tune that he plays, however, the tune does not make her sad. After Emina has been shot, Dragon makes a detour to listen to the cellist, and describe to her what happened during her absence. She

Personally i’m young and just started to be introduced into the adult world, honestly i’m horrified that i won’t be able to make it. All the crimes that have been happening in my hometown makes me feel like i won’t be able to make it into the actual adult world. Anything can happen in a matter of seconds. I miss being able to go outside and playing, hanging out with friends or just taking a walk down the street, but now that seems impossible people are losing their lives so quickly.

are two Little Red, the first is a woman with a husband and children. Before she married him ad had children she was married to another man, that disappeared the night of their wedding.

Paul has grown up in a house where his mother has burdened him with the fact that the family is not as wealthy as some of the other’s in the neighborhood. So much so, that young Paul can hear his house speak these words. Paul has found a solution to his family problems by betting on horse races. He does this with the help of his rocking horse and his uncle Oscar, as well as the gardener. To everyone’s amazement young Paul has a

both in a fallen world, both raising a pained voice. From line three on, the poem is filled with mournful, weary, destructive sounds--the pounding out of the "mind-forg'd manacles"; the sad "'weep! 'weep!" of the chimney-sweeper (Blake 33); the dying soldier's sigh; the harlot's explosive, withering curse. All of these sounds contribute to the picture of society reeling in the deadly stages of metastasizing cancer. Repetition is at its most concentrated use in stanza two where the word "every"

“Futility” which shows Owen’s angriness at war as it has killed many men and nothing can take that away. Owen wrote Anthem for Doomed Youth with the help of his friend Siegfried Sassoon in Craiglockhart hospital in 1917. Anthem for Doomed Youth shows us a world of horror.
