And I waterd it in fears Night & morning with my tears; And I sunned it with smiles‚ And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night‚ Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine‚ And he knew that it was mine‚ And into my garden stole‚ When the night had veiled the pole; In the morning glad I see My foe outstretchd beneath

It seemed somewhat difficult to read through a poem and try to “get” how a poem got a tone from its diction and imagery. It sounded easy to think about‚ but the hard part got to be articulating how it worked and what made me actually feel a certain way over a poem. For that battle‚ I read “Common Ground” by Judith Ortiz Cofer. At first‚ I read the title and thought it’d be something for pro-equality and how people are essentially created equal. By the second stanza‚ with the line‚ “when I look

Winters are cold‚ but it is the coldest when people are suffering from loss. Most of Kanye’s songs have a hidden message and in this song his message may be unclear unless you know about his life. In all the song in the album Kanye’s lyrics have a deeper meaning than what the average music lover can read or listen to. Coldest Winter is actually a depiction of the singer’s relationship with his mother and his fiancee as depicted through the themes of loss‚ loneliness‚ and doubt. Kanye’s lyrics

Society is very different in the world today compared to the early 20th century. The one thing that stayed over the years was imaging how to make good impressions and how others think. Charles Cooley discovered the looking glass theory following three particular phases for this process. Based on social interactions‚ or actions of others‚ individuals grow and create an image of their sense of self.

Personally for me ‚ I felt more similarly to the Langston Hughes essay. The era the essay is written from might be another reason since it is more modern and easier to relate. Compared to the Gates essay it was easier to wrap my head around it. I was able to dissect the essay and see the true meaning you could say. The wording Huge used was also more modern and easier to understand. From my point of view I felt Hughes put more of his focus on the importance of culture. He wanted the present day
