The second stanza looks into the past and future of their relationship. The are tossed up like ’flotsam’- like wreckage from a ship. They are the leftovers of a former passion‚ floating aimlessly. There is a sense that there is some feeling between them with the words ’or too much’.

Love and Death was absolutely hilarious‚ being the funniest movie of all the films we saw. The satire on Russian literature took a subject that was originally serious and dark and turned it on its head.

Most people try to shield children from the evils of the world; however‚ some may try a little too hard. The teacher in Billy Collins’s poem “The History Teacher” is an example of this. By teaching the children a fairy-tale version of history rather than the reality of it‚ the children fail to learn about the consequences of their actions. The desire of the teacher to protect his students has caused him to soften the harshness and reality of the past. Not wanting to corrupt their innocence‚ “he

The title of this poem suggests that this person will always have the heart of the person they love. The person could actually be holding their lover’s heart‚ or a locket or other heart-shaped object belonging their loved one.

Suzanne Collins‚ the author of The Hunger Games‚ wants us to believe that sometimes in life‚ we are required to do tasks that we are uncomfortable doing.

Strength is symbolized because Katniss was taught to use a bow by her father. Therefore‚ having a bow gives her strength and confidence to provide and
