Forget Herostratus is a story about a man in ancient Greece who burned down the Temple of Artemis in order to live forever‚ but it is much more than that. Grigori Gorin is a genius writer who wrote an instant classic full of universal themes that will stand the test of time. Gorin’s Forget Herostratus is a clear critique of the Soviet Union‚ but it is an ingeniously disguised critique‚ enabling the play to get past the censors and communicating Gorin’s serious messages within a historical‚ comedic

“First Poem for You” by the use of symbolic words. Water and lightening are two words that have a symbolic meaning for the poem. “Lines of lightening pulsing just above your nipple‚ can find‚ as if by instinct‚ the blue swirls of water on your shoulder where a serpent twists‚ facing a dragon” (Kennedy‚ 601). Though symbols can have more than one meaning to them‚ the poem helps to point out the specific meaning behind the relationship. The girlfriend‚ of the guy with the tattoos‚

“Dear John Wayne” by Louise Erdrich is about the stereotype of the Native American‚ being a savage race on film and how the Native Americans watching the film react to those stereotypes. The Characters in the play are the movie goers who happen to be Native American and John Wayne in the movie. The movie was written for a different audience than the one watching. Let’s start at the very beginning… the name of the poem is “Dear John Wayne”‚ it occurred to me that a lot of these authors put a great

breath can affect a child; but I would never give in for it wasn’t easy. We frolicked so much pans slide from the shelf; my mom didn’t have much tolerance to put up with this. Part of you was injured but every thing I did somehow it was a mistake. You never let me forget because we were God‚ and then took me to bed because I was forever yours. Connotation: "My Papa’s Waltz" presents similes‚ metaphors‚ and personification. An example of a simile would be‚ "But I held on like death." The author

Not Forget Our Rosie Up until the early 20th century‚ the role of women was the predictor of their future roles. Their main role was to care for the house and children. The man or husband was known to be the breadwinner in the family. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the focus of the women’s role was going to change in favor of the women‚ or both men and women. If it wasn’t for the Rosie’s‚ our history may have had a different outcome. Prior to World War II‚ the female’s role

Dear: Bill Cosby My name is Alejandro Cordero and in my English class we have read your “Pound Cake” speech. I believe that your speech is great but can be a bit too judgmental at times. I believe you gave people the truth and hat is quite great because most people don’t tell the truth or they even sugar coat it. I also feel that you can generalize a group of people; I know that you mean well but some people don’t understand the generalizations you put forward. I do

I looked around my room once more‚ turned-off the lights then closed the door quietly. I crept into my parent’s bedroom and kissed my mother on the forehead lightly‚ pulled the comforter tighter around her frail body then let my gaze linger on my father’s empty side of the bed.

She would probably hate me for leaving‚ but she needs to grow up and learn to be independent sooner or later; just sooner than she thought‚ much sooner

In just sixteen words‚ “You Fit into Me” creates an unsettling image with the description of a fish hook lodged in an eye. The implications of that image range from the simple‚ like two incompatible personalities‚ to the disturbing‚ like an abusive relationship. But the most overt implication is a sexual one‚ and when paired with such painful imagery‚ it suggests that the poem is about continuous sexual abuse. The first line‚ “you fit into me‚” is physical through the use of the verb “fit.” When
