Authors of poems 12 Angry Men and “Democracy” ‚ Rose and Hughes agree on the importance of democracy. While Hughes is contributing that Democracy although is a fair way of government‚ it is not present in our everyday lives. Rose suggests that Democracy is a smart‚ fair way of government but shows how it is present in his drama and that people should take advantage of its perks and freedom that other forms of government don’t have. What is a Democracy you may ask? Well‚ Democracy is truly

Richard Cory was an aristocrat and he was superior than the rest of the community which was from a working class. In both the poem and the song the narrator is of a working class. In the song it says “ But I work in his factory” this phrase could mean that he had to work in order to make a living because he wasn’t born into society. In the poem it mentions “So on we worked‚ and waited for the light” this line could mean that they were from working class as well and had to work until the end because

In looking at Kipling’s poem White Man’s Burden and Johnson’s response poem Black Man’s Burden‚ one can find several contrasts and very few similarities in the perspectives of these two men and what they believed was our nation’s rights when it came to spreading Western culture and beliefs. The white man’s burden and The black man’s burden are both different viewpoints of the ways of Imperialism‚ such as positive consequences ways and negative consequences.

Walt Whitman’s "To A Locamotive in Winter" and Emily Dickinson’s "I Like to See It Lap The Miles" are two very different poems about the same subject. Where Whitman uses strictly free verse‚ Dickinsons work is much more structured‚ with poynient line breaks‚ and punctuation. Their styles of personification also differ greatly. Where Whitman’s work is almost an ode to the locomotive‚ Dickinson’s is more a feeling of a journey. Another major difference in these works is the language they use.

him when there is no time left. In his poem “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island‚ Minnesota” James Wright explores the aspect of how easily one can lose track of time. He creates‚ at first glance‚ a warm‚ peaceful scenery that would be wonderous to view; however‚ the speaker reveals in a shocking statement‚ “I have wasted my life” leaving the reader with a sense of astonishment at this self-deprecating slur (13).

I believe in the book‚ The Fever Code‚ that the author‚ James Dashner‚ was trying to portray two main themes. The first theme Dashner tries to get across to the reader is: friendship is key. The story starts with a sad boy who is kept away from the rest of the world and forced to do whatever the “grown-ups” say. We find that he is never happy and never gets to be happy until he is introduced to another child; Teresa. They grow a tight bond quickly and all he wants to do is go to see her again

The Lesson is considered by the Literary Canon to be a wonderful work of fiction because of its use of language‚ humanistic theme‚ symbolism‚ and non-genre plot. Two essential elements that add to the depth and enhance a reader’s comprehension of The Lesson are Bambara’s use of symbolism and theme. The Lesson takes place in New York’s inner city. The fictional story begins with a group of poor‚ uneducated‚ lower class city kids standing in front of a mailbox‚ preparing themselves for another day

Reflections Two poems I find similar in meaning are “Untitled”‚ by Peter Meinke and “Mirror”‚ by Sylvia Path. The connections of the two poems are that both of the speakers are reflecting on themselves through poetry. Although they two poems have similarities; they are also different in many ways as well. The poem “Untitled” is about a father recognition of how badly he treats his son. I think in this poem the father is full of remorse and regret. Seems‚ as if‚ the speaker feels guilty or
