For some people, the topic of family is very controversial. While some family dynamics might seem like ones who are placed on an advertisement for a Loews magazine, most families have underlying problems that take place behind the scenes. It is undeniable that putting two works into conversation with each other can have several advantages. For example, in the poems “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke, and Lucille Clifton’s “forgiving my father” they both portray their childhood memories that aren

Children are often expected to forgive their parents for any mistake their parents may have made, however forgiving and forgetting are not the same thing. How parents nurture their children has a significant role in those children’s lives. Children may have forgiven, but forgetting is a not always as easy or even possible. Theodore Roethke’s poem “My papa’s waltz” and Lucille Clifton’s “forgiving my father” recalls the speakers’ respective childhoods and treatment by their father. The poem shows

running nearly half the bullet, what the company calls an Energy Expansion Cavity, ensures explosive expansion no matter the projectile’s range or velocity. Additionally, and common to most monometal bullets, the E-Tip penetrates like a hydraulic punch press, while retaining up to 95-percent of its original weight. That translates to long, devastating and deadly wound cavities. And it performs like traditional 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition in flight,dropping a whisker over 42 inches at 500 yards (100-yd zero)

In "Suicide Note" by Janice Mirikitani and "Bitch" by Carolyn Kizer, the authors portray the unattainable standards women face within a patriarchal system. Mirikitani describes a young college-aged woman struggling to be the “perfect” daughter, something she admits she will never be because she was born a woman. Kizer’s poem also speaks to these unattainable societal standards by describing her character as a “bitch” who is left by her ex-partner for a more “well-groomed bitch”. These narratives

The Creator vs Creation - Parent vs Child A parent is the one responsible for caring and nurturing their child. The way they treat their son/daughter will affect their child’s behavior and self-image for better or for worse. The classic novel, Frankenstein, is about a man named Victor, who creates a monster in more ways than one.

Educational Implications for Heidegger's Views On Poetry And Thinking ABSTRACT: I discuss some of the educational implications emerging from Heidegger's views on poetry, thinking, and language. Specifically, Heidegger's views on the neighborhood between poetry and thinking suggest that most accepted methods of teaching poetry are in error, because they ignore this neighboring relation. The importance of this relation is presented and clarified. I then discuss the implications of Heidegger's
