the poem “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll. The poem itself is good and once you know what is talking about you start to understand what it is talking about. This poem is not so good as a read if you are not ready to look up what half the poem means. The poem majorly is about triumph and glory to slay the beast so theme could be about glory or good vs. evil. Many words are old english or made up entirely of Lewis Carroll own mind‚ so you unless you use old english you will not understand what the

“A Raisin in the Sun” and “Black Like Me” are the definitely one of the most thought-provoking films I have watched recently. The first movie‚ starring Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee‚ being a picture of the young African American man’s struggle to reach for his dreams and to provide his family with an affluent life. Watching the motion picture I sympathized with the main character’s distresses and dilemmas and hoped that everything would work out well for him in the end‚ however the reality proved

favor. Life has many ups and downs and can sometimes feel like a downward spiral‚ or even an uphill road that never seems to end. This is what the poem “Uphill Road‚” by Christina Rossetti makes me consider. That even though the path may seem dark and endless‚ there is a light at the end of the it. The road may seem uphill and forever‚ but the easy way out is never the option. “Winds uphill all the way” which was mentioned in the poem reveals and prepares readers for a hard climb ahead. “Does

What Does Character Look Like? Should pretty or ugly decide good or bad? Unfortunately‚ more times than not‚ one’s judgment on the appearance of others can greatly influence or even completely determine his initial treatment of the individual. Recent studies have proved “that physically attractive individuals are thought to possess more sociably desirable personalities and higher moral standards than those who are physically unattractive” (Kong‚ Yan‚ Hong). This very common phenomenon would not

I thoroughly liked the poem "Loud Music" because it describes a simple bliss with so much detail that the story seems to come alive. It is simply the perspectives of two very different people and how they react to this loud music‚ or how they can see themselves in the noise. The author uses no restrictions‚ the imagery is animated and loud‚ just like real-life boisterous music‚ you can "witness" the "thick cloud making the water gray and restless"‚ and you can feel the throbbing‚ "hand smacking"

Jamaica Kincaid’s short story “Girl” is of a complicated relationship with her mother that comes out in the mother-daughter dynamic in the story. The mother‚ obviously a dominant figure in the young girl’s upbringing‚ informs the young girl of various duties associated with being a young‚ dignified lady. Her mother gives the daughter advice to make her the "proper" woman she should in fact be‚ and this advice gets more and more firm as the story continues. “Girl” is a very well suitable title

In the nonfiction novel‚ “Black like Me‚” John Howard Griffin writes about his experiment of temporarily changing his skin color to fit in with the black community. The purpose of Griffin’s experiment is to uncover how colored people were treated in the South and if the stereotypes about them were true. However‚ throughout his experiment‚ Griffin only encounters sympathetic and generous black people. Despite Griffin being a stranger‚ many African Americans welcome him into their homes and give him

At first glance‚ one might not think Black Like Me‚ a book with such real issues millions of people face daily‚ and The Truman Show‚ a movie about a man being born and raised all while being filmed by thousands of cameras without his knowledge‚ would have a lot in common. The latter can really only be relatable to few‚ if any at all‚ where something like the racism written about in Black Like Me can resonate to millions of people world wide. After digging deeper‚ however‚ the similarities between
