RELIGION AND IRISH MYTHOLOGY IN THE BALLAD OF FATHER GILLIGAN This poem takes a ballad form - a traditional form‚ usually sung‚ with regular‚ short stanzas that tell a story. It has a more overtly religious content than most of Yeats’s poems. As a protestant who turned to theosophy and mysticism‚ Yeats usually stays away from Catholic themes.

After reading “When Handouts Keep Coming‚ The Food Line Never Ends”‚ it got me thinking why this article was even written. Everyone knows about poverty and people going hungry at Thanksgiving time. Everywhere you go in the month of November you see the salvation army collecting money‚ different work places and schools having food drives‚ homeless shelters and soup kitchens offering meals‚ as well as churches taking extra donations to help local families in need.

Response Reading: An American Childhood My first reaction to An American childhood was a lot like my own memories when I was a child. I have vivid memories of throwing snowballs at cars driving by‚ playing football‚ and hanging with the boys. I related to Annie Dillard more than any author I have ever read. Dillard was not the average type of girl growing up and neither was I. I’m sure though that this relates to many children when growing up and not having a care in the world. She was much more
