The temple is the go to place when you want to be alone for the Wieland family. As Clara explains in the passage this is where the family does all of their family based activities. This place is very important to the Wieland family as shown through repetition by the author throughout the excerpt. If you read the excerpt at the beginning of almost every sentence you see the word “Here”. This is a significant pattern because I feel that the author is trying to show repetition in using the same word to express how important each event that happens in the temple is. Clara also says to start “here we sung,

    The first dance, “meet me in the temple”, began with two females walking towards each other to the center of the stage with a direct pathway and a heavy intention. One of the females began dancing with a good sense of control and staying grounded. This female set the phrase for the rest of this piece. This phrase consisted of an angulation of the spine traveling backwards with arms out in front of the body with palms facing forward. She then moved into a deep second plié with arms continuing to stay in front of the body as if she was asking for forgiveness from the other female.…

    Language, in itself, is exceptionally powerful. Language has the power to stop wars, to solve conflicts; however, perhaps one of the most important forces of language is the power to create emotion, to create meaning. The words an author elects to use can effectively impact one’s own reality. In the event that language is effectively utilized, it can evoke deep emotion from the reader and induce extensive thought in order to connect the words to the meaning. An author can manipulate language to convey their message by their choice of diction throughout a passage or by further applying various forms of figurative language to create imagery.…

    At the Gym, written by Mark Doty; has no relation with being at the gym at all; metaphorically speaking it pertains to attending church. The narrative provided is from the author's observation of other people in the church. The primary metaphor of this poem is religiously based in the sense people have determination to release their burdens with the desire of overcoming tribulations through prayer. Many smaller metaphors inside the poem leading the reader to believe there is faith veiled throughout. This metaphor is explained in this essay by many other small metaphors; Salt-stain is really tears, the vinyl is from the pews/benches in the church. How this metaphor references something manmade, the association of grief emotions in this poem such as hopelessness and despair.

    There are many essentials to surviving in life. After the basic necessities such as water, food, intimacy, and shelter are met, finding your personal identity is the most significant to the dynamics of life. Personal identity can be defined as the distinguishing character by which an individual is infinitively recognizable or known. Personal identity makes a person who he or she is to be defined as. According to Greek philosopher Aristotle, identity is a concept that refers to the aspect of existence; therefore, the aspect of existence is something in particular, with specific characteristics. Finding who we truly are can aid in loving, identifying, and accepting ourselves. Notary short stories, “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” by Sherman Alexie, “Hollow” by Breece D'J Pancake, and “Until Gwen” by Dennis Lehane are great exemplifications of how the struggle with identity hurt or harm the develop of an individual’s character.…
