I personally like reading about the 60’s because of how much the world changed during just a decade in time. There countless marches‚ protests‚ murders and beatings that happened during this time‚ but these poems symbolize what happened. The poems I chose tell the story of how the people felt when everything was going on during the 60’s. The first poem is‚ Emmett Till by

Her carefully selected language is crucial in exhibiting her feelings about the oppression of herself as a woman and her demand of dominance over the men around her. The protagonist of ‘Lady Lazarus’ is an allegory of Sylvia Plath herself‚ the suicide attempts in the poem being a reflection of the poet’s

something greater than themselves. Man is continually on a journey of some form; whether it is for love‚ for fortune‚ or for a greater truth. Often when a person begins a journey they are forced to take a deep look at themselves‚ and are often permanently changed by what they find. T.S. Eliot’s poem‚ "Journey of the Magi"‚ describes their transition to spiritual enlightenment through three stages; the journey‚ the arrival‚ and the aftermath.

The film “Grizzly Man” is about the story of Timothy Treadwell. It ranges from his bonding over animals to his drug and alcohol abuse.

The bedroom poems of the 18th century was a new piece of literature introduced to me. I like how these poems were so detailed and made you cringe from the sights that were being portrayed. Both Behn and Rochester were two extremely strong poets who use sexual encounters to display gender and power roles among both men and women in the 18th century.
