Because of transcendentalism‚ our world received a new perspective. Those who have became “free thinkers” and have intellectually questioned the “normal” or the “worlds opinion” have gave us opened gates to new mental worlds. Although that path to those rigorous gates may be challenging and may result in defeat‚ its those courageous individuals who have kept striving to get those doors that have changed the world. Although the path may be dangerous‚ the discovery and entrance of the new world

Dickinson’s poem “510: It was not Death‚ for I stood up‚” explores the uncertainties of Death. The speaker attempts to define or understand her own condition to unwrap the cause of her suffering. The use of extended metaphor is utilized as the speaker uses the term “death” and that her life and state of mind‚ to her‚ resembles nothing other than death itself. The dominant effect would be the feeling of despair as the speaker represents this by saying “As if my life were shaven‚ / and fitted to a

The poem “Fog” at its very essence exhibits themes of change‚ as well as ideas about the natural world. It seems as if the speaker is using cat feet as a dramatization of the quietness of the fog. Cat feet within this poem are used as a way for the speaker to convey the idea that the fog acts as cat feet do‚ in how quiet and sneaky they are.

As ice freezes on the concrete‚ it creates a dangerous‚ slick surface. Driveways‚ sidewalks‚ patios‚ and parking lots covered with ice can cause falls‚ making you liable for injuries. So most people rely on deicers such as salt because it does a great job melting ice‚ but it also damages concrete surfaces over time. How does salt damage concrete surfaces? Salt lowers the pH balance in the concrete. Because it is acidic‚ it weakens the strength of the concrete and increases the sizes of the pores

I chose Tupac’s poem The Rose That Grew from Concrete. I chose to respond to that poem because it filled me with a sense of hope. It reminded me of the character Disney character Mulan.

Mulan is like the rose because despite being in harsh circumstances‚ she grows and is able to thrive. Tupac uses the
