In many ways, poetry has the ability to shape the minds of people and their views on a certain subject. Throughout the ages, poets and writers have been a part of social and political change due to the written works presented to the public. One such poet was William Blake. His poetry has inspired much change in both the past and the present. An analysis of “The Chimney Sweeper,” one of Blake’s most popular works, can help many to understand the significance of his work in a time period when social

Excessive survivalism is a sport in when athletes are obsessed with winning and will do anything to achieve that goal of winning. Players will find ways to bend the rules or cheat just to achieve the victory over their opponent. The need to win games will overrule the player’s morals and beliefs as a person. This is a huge problem athletes face when it comes to sports. They become so obsessed with winning that it becomes the only objective they focus on. Some athletes even put their health at

My brother is seven years younger to me. As a little girl, no one waited for him like I did. No one.. not even my poor mother who carried him for 9 months. Every time my mother came back from her regular checkups, I went straight to her bedroom and searched both sides of my mother. ‘Mommys always bring babies from the hospital,’ my little mind thought. I used to pace around my mother’s bed, I used to be in a constant state of worry - ‘Where is my brother?’ There were days I blamed my mother, ‘She

doesn’t really define poetry but points it to a certain direction, from haiku to slam poetry to Shakespearean. The list could go on of the many types of poetry. Poetry was a way to tell stories or exaggerate cultural events. The poem “Howl”, written by Allen Ginsberg was written in the 1950’s and captures the many struggles in life that many people were experiencing during this time. There is no clear indication as to exactly what the poem was referencing to, but the reader can inference that the poem’s

Within The Ship Starting, there are three notable instances of repetition. For one, the word “ship” occurs three times (including in the title). Given that ships are the topic of interest in the poem, this instance of repetition has the basic effect of bringing the locus of the text back to the title, or central theme. The second example can be observed in the second and third lines, where the word “sails” is followed by “moonsails,” a made-up compound version of the former word. Using the same word

Fear consumes me every moment of every day and with everything I do in my life. I am scared of failing, speaking, socializing, cooking, swimming, riding a bike, driving, death, and being alone. My mom says I have an active imagination but everyone else seems to think that I have a mental problem. This year is my last year of high school and then I am on my own in a big, bad world full of terrible things. Something inside of me takes over. I’ve been to many psychiatric doctors but they do absolutely

There have been many influential writers that left their own unique mark on American history; one in particular that has made a significant impact is Walt Whitman. His writing styles evoke different nontraditional methods that did not coincide with the traditions of more “mainstream” American writers. He did this by establishing a pattern that utilized a lot of free verse compared to the more natural rhyme of poems, and also by describing his subject with emphasis to make the story as real as possible

most obvious example is in line 61, where the author tells a story of how his mom used to take him to communist parties: “America when I was seven momma took me to Communist cell meetings…Everybody must have been a spy” (Ginsberg, 1956, p.2). Also, Allen

It was an absolute disaster. I pinch my face in disgust as I pick up one of the gooey clumps that were supposed to resemble sugar cookies. "I don't think they're supposed to look like that," Justin mumbles, trying his damnedest not to laugh as I gave him a dirty look. This was all his fault! "No shit Sherlock. What did you do?!" I exclaim. I told him all of the ingredients to get me and that I'd do everything from there and this is what happens! "What do you mean? You made them!" He accuses me
