Reflects The Cycles of Life To Keats‚ nature was the playground for the five senses. By leaving the urban life in London and going out into nature‚ Keats was able to fully live in the moment and enjoy the sensuality of nature.

In addition‚ nature mirrored the natural cycles of human life in Keats’ work. Keats’ relationship to nature was

now seemed to overwhelm and constrict me as I longed for the flexibility of digitized text. The computer is the latest development in writing technology; a promises to change literary practices for better. Bonnie Laing‚ the author of the essay “An Ode to the User-Friendly Pencil” is strongly against the boycotting pencils. Unfortunately‚ Laing’s argument that the pencil is superior to a computer is poorly demonstrated due to her biased diction towards analog writing instruments and ignorance of the

Wrestling; when most people hear the word‚ they imagine a hefty man with bulging muscles in a skimpy singlet‚ throwing other men across the mat. In reality‚ this is not the case for all wrestlers. They don’t all have hulk like physiques. No one could have imagined a small‚ lean 5’3 girl like myself be a wrestler.
