Maya Angelou’s Champion of the World excerpt is set in a racially controversial time in history. A time where blacks were still treated differently simply for the color of their skin‚ not to say that we are not even today. During this time‚ there was a constant battle in the daily lives of Americans of every color‚ race‚ and ethnicity to assert their dominance and declare their importance. This was especially true of the American Negro‚ the only race to ever be a slave on the nations soil‚ the only

interweaving the parts. (Sagan 18)" The word fugue seems out of place in an astronomy book. The use of the word quickly makes sense when you realize Carl Sagan is talking about the way Earth’s short melody fits into the Milky Way’s composition. The word heads off the music theme for the section. The section begins with pondering of other life in the galaxy. Carl Sagan asks questions to which there are no apparent answers."What would it [life on other planets] look like? What would it be made of? What would

While reading the Chicago Poems by Carl Sandburg I got the feeling as though I was in the early 1920’s. I was able to know what life was like back then and how the people of the time felt about the events that were going on around them. He wrote what he was experiencing during the First World War and how death was realized by this generation for the first time. This work was quite efficient in doing what it needed to do. It is difficult for a poet to convey a single message in a collection of

Ironically‚ Moon Rondeau is not actually written using a rondeau poem format. It is used to give an imagery of the repetitiveness of love (Constantakis‚ 2011). Moon Rondeau was written in 1963 by Carl Sandburg. It is a poem of love‚ and the innocence‚ and hope that come with it. Love is a common theme throughout the whole poem while there are other themes presented as well. Sandburg is known for his use of free verse. It bears a sense of romance and brings forth images that convey strong emotions

This was a fascinating video that touched on an array of topics related to dreams and the psyche. One of the things that I noted while watching the video was that Carl Jung wrote on the beginnings of Zen in Buddhism and studied Native American culture in his work. It was also interesting the thoughts that Jung had about the psyche. In the beginning of the video Jung discussed that the psyche is the “great danger”. The video went on to discuss the psychology of war‚ architecture‚ alcohol and drug

The protagonist of Carl Sagen’s Contact‚ is Ellie. I believe her to be an unusually intelligent individual with a much greater awareness of the larger universe. We first encounter Ellie on page four at her birth‚ generally a time no one remembers in any specific detail‚ but the author wished to highlight her exceptional intelligence by noting she was cognizant at that early moment of life. In her opening dialogue she is only two years old. She expresses a reasonable request to be picked up by
