Christopher Mermer American Short Fiction Dr. Guedon-DeConcini Native American Time in Yellow Woman Time is expressed in different ways among many different cultures. To the European‚ time is a linear movement from past to future which involves no backward movement. The present is the now but ultimately the future is an illusion as the future becomes a string of present moments. This is not true in Native American culture. As European time can be seen as a line‚ Native American time is seen as

Dear‚ E.E. Cummings‚ I have unraveled your poem “anyone lived in a pretty how town”. I really enjoyed the uniqueness of the puzzle you created. The narrator of the story tells the narrative as if they don’t care‚ moreover‚ the story itself is about a lot of people not caring. The only people who act out are Anymore and Noone‚ they fall in love and worry about no one but themselves‚ as the disregardful outside world continues to repeat the cycle of life and death by no means. Mr. Cummings‚ I appreciate

Randall Jarrell’s poem “A Lullaby” has both a glaringly bleak and starkly literal tone; it evokes despair about war and human society altogether. Set in an unclear place and time‚ the poem tells the story of a soldier who has sacrificed everything to fight for his country‚ and describes his insignificant life and death with a series of increasingly abstract similes. The speaker’s dismal tone‚ clear from the first few lines‚ makes a grand message about the baseness of war‚ and shifts the reader’s
