Part 1 Childhood Dreams Looking back on my childhood‚ I tend to go negative. We moved so much. My parents were not educated enough to help me with my homework. I felt lonely. My mom suffered from manic depression‚ and it sucked. We were so poor. But when I think about actual moments of my childhood‚ specific‚ tiny‚ day-to-day moments‚ I know I was lucky: in many ways‚ I had won the parent lottery. My parents somehow innately knew that part of the reason for their misfortune was their current lack

ROLAND BARTHES “THE DEATH OF THE AUTHOR” Barthes opens with a quote from Balzac’s novel Sarrasine where the author offers a description of a “castrato disguised as a woman” (142): This was woman herself‚ with her sudden fears‚ her irrational whims‚ her instinctive worries‚ her impetuous boldness‚ her fussings‚ and her delicious sensibility.

Within the poem‚ “The Author to Her Book‚” Anne Bradstreet uses a complex metaphor to describe her attitude towards one of her works that was published without her permission. Throughout the poem‚ she compares her anger towards her book to that of an unwanted child. Bradstreet apparently has the attitude of a perfectionist‚ so she did not think her book was worthy of publication. However‚ she was able to get it back and make corrections. Although Bradstreet has a negative attitude towards the publication
