    Initially, the poet employs similes in order to demonstrate his theme of parental love. For example he uses the simile “… your life shines like a jewel, each relapse a flash of light the more endearing” (Stanza 1) proves that the persona genuinely loves his daughter. How does the poet confirm this? By the comparing of Katrina to a jewel, it shows that she is precious and valued to the persona. Through affirming this quote, he is stating that a relapse in Katrina’s health is akin to the adoration readers would have when shining light onto a precious jewel. At a point where one has to surrender this jewel, one will love it even more. That is the poet’s aim in this simile; the closer he gets to losing her, the more he will love her. Due to this technique, the audience can perceive the powerful parental love that the persona has for Katrina by relating it to their love for a jewel. Hence, by using similes the viewers are able to better understand the theme in Katrina.…

    When I saw this assignment, of having to write about an artwork that had been erased, I was a little astonished. There was this piece of art that someone had created, and then another person erased some of the elements, and called it their art. I was honestly regretting the research that lied ahead. However, I see not that Robert Rauschenberg's piece of work was inventive. I am sure that he was ridiculed for the way he created this new type of art. On the other hand it was accepted because of the embellishment of highlights that are also used by erasing to create light. With this piece, Robert was gracious enough to title this piece "Erased de Kooning Drawing," thus showing that the true ownership of the drawing was shared. I believe this was…
