For my coursework I am comparing the poem ‘Cousin Kate’ by Christina Rossetti with ‘The Seduction’ by Eileen McAuley. Both these poems share similar storylines and themes.

Era. Both the Parthenon and the Pantheon came from two different cultures and two different time periods‚ but yet share many similarities in their overall symbolism and meaning.

In Their Eyes Were Watching God the people who are sitting on the porch are made into one entity in many ways. The sitters are referred to as one entity in the fourth paragraph of chapter one when the author says “ These sitters had been tongueless‚ earless‚ eyeless conveniences all day long.

The author portrays the sitters as powerful
