Although Carol Ann Duffy may write many detached personas within her poems and use a lot of themes of isolation‚ loneliness and all round being away or in some way abused by society‚ I think that she herself is not in fact completely detached. An example of one of the methods of her writing that may make her seem detached is her Persona within Education for Leisure. Straight off from the first line of the

For this week’s posting‚ I will be discussing a topic from the assignment I found interesting and the reason why. Marry Ann Warren gives an interesting definition of what it means to be human. She argues that there are distinctions to the definition of humanness. To her‚ being part the moral sense is to be human‚ whereas genetic humanity does not qualify someone for being a human. Warren argues that the human fetus is not a person because they do not fulfill the five qualifications of personhood

Hodgman uses extensive amounts of humour and this appropriate since she is dealing with quite a humorous topic. I think had she been more serious in her discussion‚ I would have been more repulsed and would not find the piece

Through laying out childhood memories and ending on the note that she hesitates when asked of her origin‚ Carol Ann Duffy expresses regret that she

Today‚ physicians keep many Americans alive through
