    Monteverdi’s Lamento della ninfa is an excellent example of what a lament should be. A lament is always an expression of grief or sorrow and usually over a loss of love. This loss of love may be due to the death of the loved one or betrayal (such is this case). The lament is not a complaint about unhappy or unrequited love‚ but it is a manifestation of sadness. In most cases‚ Lamento della ninfa included‚ the lamenter is tormented simultaneously by the past‚ present‚ and future: the memories

Jim Burden in this passage is contemptibly looking back on the awe that Antonia once made him feel throughout their childhood.

    The book‚ The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness‚ by Michelle Alexander‚ has a few different themes. The themes that stuck out to me from both readings and lectures are ignorance and denial‚ and the failure of colorblindness. The central theme of Alexander’s book is basically that the American system of mass incarceration is a systematic effort to ostracize people of color just like the old Jim Crow laws did in the 19th and 20th centuries. The present-day prisons make it
