A response to The Bell Jar You would expect anybody to want the story of depression and suicidal thoughts to leave your memory as soon as the last page was over. However‚ The Bell Jar is more about the spirit of survival when you are trapped inside yourself and frightened because the rest of the world expects something completely different from you - something you cannot give them. Something you don’t want to give them‚ if it were your choice. This is a highly auto-biographical account by Plath

The importance of a poem does not always come in its meaning. William Carlos Williams illustrates this in his work‚ “The Great Figure.” Being an extremely short story about a man seeing a fire truck speed past him on a gloomy night‚ the actual story leaves readers searching for more. Acting almost as a piece of rebellion against more traditional poetry‚ Williams is able to take the focus away from the physical meaning of the poem and make readers focus on the careful structural choices he made.

I think that the other theme of William Carlos Williams’ poem “The Red Wheelbarrow” is hope because in the poem it states‚ “so much depends upon a red wheel barrow” (William’s 309). The red wheel barrow is used to represent the blood of life and the white chicken or the sick little girl is depending on blood in order to survive. The little girl is hoping that she will be able to get better because in order to survive you need to have water and blood in your body. The poem “Chicago” by Carl Sandburg

As we stumbled into the line of the Taco Bell off of 41‚ I popped an Altoid in my mouth‚ hiding the vigorous scent of Fireball Whiskey. Next to me‚ our safety is rocking back and forth as a sweat trickled down his forehead. The four of us stepped into line. The lady in front of me flinched as I overstepped and slightly crushed the corner of her clogs and her big toe. Leisurely‚ I backed out of line‚ to complete my task‚ returning moments later. Time froze in anticipation. Tap. Tap. Tap. My foot

Why Sinigang? By Doreen G. Fernandez Rather than the overworked adobo (so identified as the Philippine stew in foreign cookbooks)‚ sinigang seems to me the dish most representative of Filipino taste. We like the lightly boiled‚ the slightly soured‚ the dish that includes fish (or shrimp or meat) vegetables and broth. It is adaptable to all tastes ( if you don’t like shrimp‚ then bangus‚ or pork)‚ to all classes and budgets‚ (even ayungin‚ in humble little piles‚ find their way into the pot)‚ to

Poe’s poem “The Bells” was first published. Poe was famous for his short stories and poems‚ which were typically read in darker tones. He was consistently losing family to illness and time‚ and was‚ as a result‚ a very morbid and depressed man. The inspiration for “The Bells” is thought to be from the ringing Poe heard every day coming from the Fordham University bell tower‚ since he resided in the same area as the university and would often visit the campus. This poem Poe uses the bells as a metaphor
