However, when the metro is full, they still do not seem to interact despite the close physical proximity. The majority of people use their cellphones instead of talking with each other.

This included, my mother, father, sister and my mother’s sister and brother along with their respective families. Over a period of four days we walked over sixty miles and I got to visit some of the most extraordinary places I could ever imagine. Standing at the proverbial head of the table was the Lincoln Memorial, a magnificent cross section of history and reverence…

The Victims by Sharon Olds centers the question of who the real victims of divorce are. On the surface, it may appear a certain way, but upon further inspection, the answers may be something very different. The Victims can be split into two parts according to tone and tense. The first half of the poem is from the “child’s” point of view, and the second half, in the “adults” view. The first half of the poem (lines 1-17) is in the past tense and it appears as if the speaker is a young child…
