TPCASTT
Title-
the poem will be about the journey to God

Paraphrase-
America comes after God
I love you land of my ancestors shown by the songs of patriotism that I sing for a long time, we worry about time running out in every language
American enthusiasm is meaningless
Why talk about beauty, when the most beautiful thing is those heroes that died who rushed like animals into the fight without stopping to think and dying as a result
Liberty can't say anything to this.

He spoke. and quickly drank a glass of water.

    'The Star Spangled Banner': Poem Analysis

    “O say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?” To people like Francis Scott Key, the writer of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, the American flag is a symbol of men and women standing up for what they believed in, and even giving up their life for it. These people care greatly about the American flag being honored and respected, and I am too.…

    Poem Analysis: Let's Make America Great Again

    First off, WE'RE SCREWED. It was the last presidential election of our time. The candidates were terrible. It was either World War III(Hillary) or The Purge(Trump) and I guess America chose The Purge. So, I guess it's time to say goodbye to all people of mixed or other ethnicities, because Trump's gonna make us all go back. Time to say goodbye to those we befriended and growled to love. Goodbye to all the things that actually make this country GREAT. He says, "Let's Make America Great Again," but does he really mean it. America was created as a place where people all over the world can come and make something of themselves. Now it's a place where we look down on those who are different or those of us will different talents. We judge people…

    Similies in the Iliad

    As seen above, the passage contains not only the scene of birds’ chase that the hawk swoops down on the dove but also the warriors’ running fight. Some points of contact between the narrative and the simile can be analyzed in this passage. Achilles in the narrative corresponds to the wild mountain hawk in the simile. Furthermore, the beak and wings of the hawk represent in order of Achilles’s “the Pelian ash spear”, which is mentioned right before the extracted passage, and his fast legs. Meanwhile, Hector who is pursued by Achilles in the narrative corresponds to the scared dove of being attacked by the hawk in the simile.…

    “There's a surge forward, like a crowd at a rock concert in the former time, when the doors opened, that urgency coming like a wave through us. The air is bright with adrenaline, we are permitted anything and this is freedom, in my body also, I'm reeling, red spreads everywhere, but before that tide of cloth and bodies hits him Ofglen is shoving through the women in front of us, propelling herself with her elbows, left, right, and running towards him...A high scream comes from somewhere, like a horse in terror.” (Pg. 262-263)…

    next to of course god america i Essay Analysis

    The poem "next to of course god america i" centers around the ideas of patriotism within a nation, namely the United States. The writing style mocks the strident tone of “traditional” American patriotism. While Americans are all busy rallying against a common foe, the reality is that a minimal population is going to end up doing all of the fighting. Imagine a member of the U.S. Congress who routinely acts as if they are the biggest patriot who ever lived in this country. Oh sure, they may be showing off their American flag lapel pins to highlight just how patriotic they are but for most of them, it’s all an act. They talk the talk because they know they will never have to actually walk the walk. They will never be in harms’ way. It becomes a matter of who can spew the biggest patriotic speech and act as if they care when in fact they'll be doing none of the fighting. It’s quite sad if you really think about it.…
