    the day‚ the ’superior’ whites could no longer ignore the rising clamor of those they claimed possession over. These enslaved people had voices‚ and they were making it known that they knew the white man’s language. One such voice was that of Phillis Wheatley‚ a young African girl turned slave and saved by the generosity of her owners. While not an outspoken advocate of slave rights‚ she was one of the first to hint that African-Americans could be more than just objects used for menial and mindless

    Having left behind its struggles with the cranky city‚ and forgiving the stones and the boulders that made it snake around‚ the train moved ahead at an effortless pace trying to be one with the volcanic Central Indian plateau. Leaning against the door at the edge of the footboard I watched the sky interspersed with silken clouds‚ and reveled in the leela as they enacted a celestial drama and played the game of divine hide-and-seek.

    I chose William Wordsworth’s "I wandered lonely as a cloud" (476)     Formalism is the technical analysis of a particular medium of art. The basis is to focus on the facts evident with no implication of emotional value as determined by the reader.

    The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “benighted” as “existing in a state of intellectual‚ moral‚ or social darkness.” The word “darkness” really strikes me in this definition‚ just as the word “benighted” struck me when reading Phillis Wheatley’s “On Being Brought from Africa to America.” This use of “benighted” most certainly refers to her time in Africa‚ which she calls a “Pagan” land. This could refer to actual Paganism being practiced in Africa‚ or a lack of religion entirely. She says that

    In Phillis Wheatley ’s poem‚ To the Right Honorable William…‚ evokes a spirit of an American vision that undermines that of Thomas Jefferson ’s Declaration of Independence‚ by reminding the Earl of Dartmouth that all should have freedom but for those who have obtained it‚ should not forget to thank God. Thomas Jefferson ’s vision of America is almost the same as Wheatley ’s with one major difference‚ his version doesn ’t include African Americans nor for that matter‚ equality for women. The words
