poetry is driven by a tension between the real world in which he lives and an ideal world that he imagines’ The poetry of Yeats gives a deep‚ profound and though-provoking experience. His sweepingly broad thematic focus deals with issues that are timeless and universal. We realise Yeats both is a very public and a very private poet‚ his work ranging from the personal and political‚ to Irish history and his own life experiences and emotions. He grew up in a very transitional time‚ where a world

Personal Response A man had been standing at the blank intersection for a while now wearing a brown worn-out shirt and baggy pants‚ not quite appealing to anyone but yet caught the attention of many. He was not moving‚ not even an inch‚ like something had grabbed on to him purposely making him immobile and blankly staring across the distance. The streets that had been walked on by million people a day looked empty‚ according to how his eyes viewed it‚ still and calm. It seems like nothing could make

Mirror Image Personal Response Our society judges too much on physical appearances. A society such as todays‚ I think judges everyone too much on how the look. Such as how tall a person is‚ skin colour‚ hair colour‚ and body size. From my experience as a teenage girl‚ there is a lot of pressure in society and surrounding community to be thin and have a certain look. Such as have straight hair‚ white straight teeth‚ to have no acne on your face‚ and to wear the clothes that are in fashion

British Literature Hinkley 8 Dec. 2012 Personal Response Jane Austen’s novel‚ Pride and Prejudice‚ is a great representation of how life in the 1800s would have been. Placement in society played a major role and most of her characters only did what society permitted them to do. The people who you were surrounded around either broke you or made you an influence on the town. The women seemed to look only for someone to marry them‚ not for someone to love them. The women in this novel‚ searched

Lesson 1-Personal Response Agamemnon I believe that Agamemnon is a protagonist character with selfish intentions in the play‚ Agamemnon. Although‚ he does make a few errors in his period of ruling. Overall‚ I believe he is a hubris person as he holds great pride in himself‚ his actions and his decisions. I believe that his intentions of his actions are only meant for his own benefit and that he believes no one else’s value should be more than his value. He has very little effect but‚ a very important

In this response to lyrics and personal reflection essay‚ I chose the song “invisible” by Taylor Swift. She is an amazing singer and songwriter. Taylor Swift has written so many songs‚ but I chose “invisible” because I can relate to this song a lot. She started singing when she was really young. All of her songs have some sort of story to tell‚ and I really enjoy listening to her music. Taylor Swifts music has a lot of meaning to it‚ mostly about how it was for her growing up. But this

Four years ago‚ I read an article about an English man who stayed in China for 20 years to throw away and recycle the litter tourists carelessly leave on the streets. This man‚ William Lindesay‚ eventually realized that he could accomplish more with a group than he could alone‚ so he created a volunteer group. When I read that article‚ I was awestruck by his fierce dedication and leadership. Immediately‚ I realized that I too wanted to devote my life to making a change. When I was in fifth
