Gwendolyn Brooks ’ "First fight. Then Fiddle" initially seems to argue for the necessity of brutal war in order to create a space for the pursuit of beautiful art. The poem is more complex‚ however‚ because it also implies both that war cannot protect art and that art should not justify war. She suggests this idea in the sentences that open the poem: "First fight. Then fiddle." One must fight before fiddling. Playing the violin wouldn’t be a pleasure if an enemy was threatening one ’s safety

since feeling is first Purposely applying unpredictable and sparse punctuation and conventions‚ Cummings emphasizes the importance of logic versus emotions through this style. In the poem‚ Cummings conveys his love and devotion to a woman of an unknown source by thus stating‚ “[they] are for each other.” Cummings expresses his beliefs that emotions are much more powerful and worth paying attention to rather than reasoning.

“Who Are You?” RELG 252 Harvey writes‚ “Identifyingn the Buddha’s day‚ the spiritual quest was largely seen as the search for identifying and liberating a person’s true Self” (28). Peter is right in the sense that he identifies himself with all of those things‚ but when he looks in the mirror‚ he sees none of them. We all put labels on ourselves regardless of if they are ‘real‘ or not. Discovering who we truly are is an important step towards enlightenment. “Who Are You?” is a Buddhist poem
