Even though that specific person could be a genius or misunderstood they do not have the opportunity to show who they really are because his or her society may not care at all. The authors Tennessee Williams and William Faulkner show‚ in their works‚ that sometimes the people with the greatest differences are the most insightful.

I myself have always been gay since birth I certainly didn’t choose this for myself‚ which I wouldn’t change for the world.

Good evening Mr. Georges and fellow classmates‚ I have researched about 2 poems and made a comparison between the two.

Both of these poems talk about the sea‚ they

Perseverance at this point of this semester is a 5 out of a ten half the time I want to give up‚ curl into a ball‚ and hide from the world and the other half of the time I want to face my challenges head on. I wanted to drop out like I wanted to do in the fall. I didn’t like school much to begin with. But I like to be mentally simulated‚ learning new things has always been my thing. Sitting in a classroom for the next four years to me sounds dreading. I wasn’t ready to dive back in and be swarmed by

My Personal Narrative I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home‚ feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots. It is just me and the woods. I take nothing with me when I leave‚ because I know that I won’t be gone too long. It is early fall so it is cool outside but not cold.

’Out of the Blue’ is a dramatic monologue spoken by one of the people inside the twin towers on 9/11‚ from inside the burning building. The effect is of extreme close up on a tiny point in space in time‚ almost in a 1to1 narrative time. The event is narrated as it happens an appeal to a second person who could not be listening. This creates an weird effect‚ of an event we cannot touch‚ of lost people who could not speak to us‚ even though we watched at the time or later: the flames‚ the people who

Today’s presentation will focus on “My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun” by William Shakespeare and “Sonnet 147” also by William Shakespeare. These poems‚ which both deal with the concept of beauty and love are interesting because they contradict each other even though they were written by the same poet and have the same themes. William Shakespeare lived from 1564 to 1616‚ an era known as the renaissance period. This obviously influenced Shakespeare’s writing as he wrote about love and beauty
