The emotions that run wild during that time period can be connected to the verse “hallowing souls”. A superficial meaning could be the soul of the person that died is being carried away. However, the hallowing souls are they tears that are being poured and the immense sorrow they is being felt. With each tear that is dropped, the closer they get to being able to live with the fact that their loved one is dead. Each tear represents a loved memory that they won’t be able to experience again.

    Beach Burial written by Australian poet Kenneth Slessor is a harrowing elegy which mourns the vast destruction of war. Grasping a thorough understanding of the historical context of the poem is imperative in order to recognize the purpose and impact of the poem. The poem demonstrates a powerful critique of the nature of war through the exploration of ideas such as the anonymity of soldier’s deaths and how it is death that delivers soldier’s from the horrors of war.

    For the creative response to House of Sand and Fog (2003), I have created a dance video that portrays and explores the theme of appearance and reality. One of the prominent characters in House of Sand and Fog is Behrani. Behrani, an Iranian immigrant is shown to be living a façade, which leads to the theme of appearance and reality. I was inspired to create this video with two different worlds that represents an appearance, and a reality. This concept was inspired by Behrani who seems to have put on this appearance in order to enhance his daughters chances of making a good marriage.…

    Gwendolyn Brooks’s poem old relative begins with a commentary on death, that is somewhat flustered into a morality poem. The poems morality contemplation is not an austere good or evil, but a just-unjust analysis of social institutions. Within the first lines, we are shown a gentleman who is not ‘dead’ until he is arranged for death. Demonstrating that the funeral as a conventionality eclipses the reality of life and convolutes man into a God assessing when one passes. One’s body is in limbo as it bathed and prepared, therefore casting doubt on the morality of funeral customs.…

    Helping people doesn't bring justice at all the time. Most people like to help each other, especially when they believe these people are really in need of that help since they have unfair situations. In the novel, the house of sand and fog, it is obvious that Lester is typically a pipeline over providing justice. Since he feels responsible for Kathy’s situation, he tries to help her in order to provide justice and prove his manhood, “Lester began to feel as inauthentic a man as was possible, living in a marriage he no longer felt, working as a law enforcer when he’d never been able to face any man down on his own, to serve or protect anyone without the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Department behind him” (Dubus III, page 240).…

    Argumentative Essay Paul Laurence Dunbar’s famous poem, We Wear the Mask, is a sentimental and symbolic poem that refers to the times individuals hide behind masks for various reasons. However, many critics think that this poem only applies to individuals who suffered from slavery. Because many of Dunbar’s poems do reflect images of slavery, some critics argue that “we” in the poem “We Wear the Mask” is referring to slaves. The poet is including himself as a part of the human race rather than speaking from personal experience. Again, critics will argue that the speaker is including himself within his race of people who endured slavery.…
