In "Bird by Bird" Anne Lamott is trying to teach how good writing is about telling the truth on the first day of workshop. "So you might start by writing down every single thing you can remember from your first few years of school." (Lamott 4). She teaches the students that its sometimes a easy way to start off with some of your memories that you can remember. Also you should not never worry if your writing is good or not because the only people who are going to see it is you and the teacher.

When thinking about classic stories, what comes to mind? Most would say books like a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens or How to Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Many might also think of a book called the Lord of the Flies by William Golding. When thinking of classics, though, books from a long time ago tend to not come to mind, like the Bible. The Bible is thought to date back to the 6th century B.C. and one of the most well known stories throughout all of time is the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Some stories even take inspiration from this story in the Bible, even a story mentioned earlier: Lord of the Flies. These two stories are alike in quite a few ways, including how both of the stories had characters that tried to create the perfect paradise, they both had an Adam and an Eve, and they both had a beast.…

Poetry native to the era it is written invokes the feelings, struggles, and daily life of those that are encased by that world. Society as a whole grows exponentially and influences from the past and present create a ‘perfect storm’ for emotional turmoil, therefore the need for poetry is necessary. These emotions can be shown in varying forms including shifts, allusions, and other thought-provoking literary techniques.
