"MOTHER TO SON" OF LANGSTON HUGHES "Mother to Son" of Langston Hughes is my favorite. What the mother in the poem tries to tell her son is that there will be many rough roads that he has to go by in his life but she hopes that he will not give and complete it like his mother. Through the dialect that Hughes used in his poem‚ we can see that the mother was not a well educated woman by the way she talks "there ain’t" (13) and some grammar mistakes. She was living a poor area with "boards torn up"

is a character in a story‚ play‚ or novel that is forever doomed to an undesirable fate. In The Stranger‚ the story’s protagonist Monsieur Meursault would be defined as a "tragic hero".

Sufferings and misfortunes may loom large on the horizon. They may make life worthless. Despair and disappointment may look endless. It does not mean one should cease to live. Deep and dark clouds of failures may eclipse the sun of success‚ but for how long! Failures and frustrations must give way to hope and happiness. The words of the poet convey a note

Morrie S. ~ “Accept yourself‚ your physical condition‚ and your fate as they are at the present moment.” During this quote‚ Morrie is clearly weakening and learning about ALS. He is talking to Mitch about his experience but also calming him by telling him that he can accept what is happening. What this quote means to me is more than just talking about you physical ability‚ but also you mental ability too. Another message that speaks to me in this quote is that you can’t pretend to be something or

Hope is a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen or desire to trust. In addition‚ hope refers to African-American slaves wanting to be free or stay alive. Today’s question is hope good or bad‚ it could easily be both based off the kind of hardship the individual slave endured and how long they have left of slavery based off knowing slavery ended two years after the emancipation proclamation the individual might lose hope but they only had a little while left.

The differences in treatment outcomes due to the amount of hope a patient held in “The Anatomy of Hope: How People Prevail in the Face of Illness‚” was a perspective I had not yet ruminated. The author‚ Dr. Groopman‚ retold the stories of multiple patients suffering from cancer‚ each showing that hope can have a positive outcome on treatment. This account has shown me that death is inherently a part of life‚ but by instilling genuine hope in a patient and their family‚ their remaining days can be

INTRODUCTION A good attitude or positive attitude is the outward manifestation of a mind that dwells primarily on positive matters. It is a mind-set tipped in favour of creative activity rather than boredom‚ joy over sadness‚ hope over futility. A positive attitude is that state of mind which can be maintained only through conscious effort. When something jars one’s mental focus into a negative direction‚ those who are positive know that in order to bounce back adjustments must be made. THE

HOPE OR DEATH “I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience.

In the movie Life is Beautiful and the book Night love and hope are the only things that keep the characters alive.

They are contrasted by the rest of the poem‚ which carries a theme of melancholy and depression. One interpretation is to see the speaker’s knowledge that it is often pointless to hold onto hope‚ as they note “The habit-forming pain‚ / Mismanagement and grief: / We must suffer them all again‚” (Auden). It is as if the speaker of the poem
