Paul Simon’s The Sound of Silence A poem‚ like all other works of art‚ may appear as an inter-subjective truth‚ an intricate thread of images‚ a surreal yet realistic expression‚ and as a "creative fact" according to Virginia Woolf. In canon literature‚ a good poem is usually that which has fine structure‚ imagery‚ meaning and relevance; an art‚ which has sprung out not only of personal necessities but out of socio-cultural quagmires. Paul Simon’s The Sound of Silence transcends the mediocre.

Paul Simon’s "Sounds of Silence" I chose the song "Sounds of Silence" because I admire Paul Simon’s lyrics and I believe this is one of his best songs in terms of its poetic quality. The song is very haunting: its lyrics stir you and leave you feeling as though you’ve heard and witnessed something profound.

The poem "Dead Man’s Dump" written by Isaac Rosenberg‚ a soldier in the first world war‚ has made a lasting impression on me. He originally enlisted in the army in October 1915. He was killed upon the western front in France on the first of April 1918. He was twenty years old. I believe that Rosenberg was trying to tell us that the soldiers that had sacrificed their lives in the name of duty were not getting the respect that they deserved. As time goes on we may gradually forget what these men

Silence equaling death depends on what is being silenced. Silence can cause death in many ways. In the case of social and civil silence and suppression indeed mean death. Mass death. Civil silence would cause the death of human inalienable rights including freedoms to speak and voice the opinions of civilians everywhere. This type of social silence has been attempted throughout history and has never worked. An example of this

No More Silence By: David Whelan Book review Tears have dried‚ the curtains‚ closed. The audience roars; encore. No More Silence is the story of David Whelan’s traumatizing childhood and a secret that he kept for more than three decades. At first glance‚ this book would seem to be just another made up story although as one indulgences in its wonder‚ one would feel his pain and emptiness‚ his longing for acceptance and love. Hopefully‚ these mere five hundred words would sum up the marvel of this
