The poem “Theme for English B”‚ written by Langston Hughes‚ is a narrative from the point of view of a black student on his first day of English B. Throughout the poem the speaker addresses his anxieties about how the class will go. The poem is set around the time that black students were first being allowed into colleges‚ this being a major reason he is worried that no one will respect him. As sad as it is‚ people tend to judge based on appearance‚ and while I face this issue because of my piercings

Poetry Commentary: The Wild Swans at Coole by Yeats The Wild Swans at Coole by William Butler Yeats is‚ as the title suggests‚ a poem about a flock of Swans inhabiting the lake at Augusta Gregory ’s Coole Park residence.

Curse” William Butler Yeats William Yeats’ “Adam’s Curse” is a poem that addresses a profound truth of time. Any human accomplishment such as poetry‚ music‚ or physical beauty requires much labor and is appreciated by few. He says this through an emotional recollection of a conversation between himself‚ his lover and her friend. I believe the meaning of the work lays waiting like a net‚ waiting to catch the reader at surface level. The poem is simplistic in nature‚ which is quite atypical of Yeats’ poems‚

My favorite historic song is the song cold war. The artist of the song is the rapper Lil B‚ the song is about basically african americans dying to try to impress others instead of being themselves. When in reality people should do what makes them happy instead of trying to impress other man or women . My opinion on the artist Lil b is that he is a fun guy and he is funny but when it comes time to be serious he can come up to the table and make a decent song about issues. The most powerful lyric throughout

I believe that each manager sees performance evaluation as serving a different purpose.
