Cory Aquino Restored democracy‚ supported the Filipino entrepreneurs The recent death of the former president Corazon C. Aquino has made us reminiscent of her major contribution in bringing back the democracy in our country. It was the democracy that we almost lost during the martial law era under the leadership of former Ferdinand Marcos. Her role in bringing back the democracy has carried along some other things. One of this is the flourishing of capitalism back in our economic system.

1. In the opening paragraphs‚ White’s attitude was of reminasance and awe. The nostalgia of his memory shared with us not once but twice. His urge to revisit the lake was strengthened with the readers urge to read just a bit more detail. White claws us into the memory with him‚ like we were there as a story teller‚ telling ourselves about what was happening‚ what it smelled and felt like. His attitude was of a warm "jollity" that invited us to join. 2. Examples of creative language: "and the gods

instances may not be what it appears. The following discussed poems are examples of such misjudgment. In W.H. Auden ’s "The Unknown Citizen" each line from beginning nearly to end consists of something that this individual has done that would associate him with being a man of the "Greater Community" (Auden 5). All of his traits are either professional or approved of by the overall society. It is not until the last two lines that the poem strays slightly to a speaker ’s perspective of the individual

Poem Comparison All four poems that I read are related in their purposes and goals; however‚ they are also very different. "Lucinda Matlock" by Edward Lee Masters‚ "Chicago" by Carl Sandburg‚ "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson‚ and "We Wear the Mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar are all about the joys and sorrows of life. How we look at life makes life good or bad. "Lucinda Matlock" is a story of a woman‚ who‚ by some standards‚ would have a life that we consider a mediocre. However‚ the narrator

Never judge a book by its cover. Appearances can greatly deviate from what is hidden on the inside. "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson‚ "We wear the mask" by Paul Laurence Dunbar‚ and "I’m nobody! Who are you?" by Emily Dickinson each give examples of appearances in contrast to reality. Robinson’s "Richard Cory" is essentially about a man who is set upon a golden pedestal by others and due to his suppressed sadness‚ kills himself. "We wear the mask" by Dunbar shows us society’s use of a "mask"

The Reading Lesson ‘The Reading Lesson’ by Richard Murphy is about how education is harder to understand for some people‚ with the theme of education and nature. I will be discussing how Murphy conveys the emotion of dissatisfaction and to what extent he is successful in deepening our understanding of it throughout the poem. The title of the poem itself has a double meaning as ‘The Reading Lesson’ is about a boy who is reluctant to be taught reading and the teacher has learnt a lesson: you
