The sixth passage in “On Going Home” by Joan Didion‚ gave me feeling of nostalgia. I could feel the longing and sincerity of the author’s love and want for her child. I could feel how the mother wants nothing but the best for her child but is unsure if she can offer the best due to how it is “different now”.

When you first immigrate to a foreign country‚ the culture shock is the first adjustment to go through and like the characters

Dyke Hard is a celebratory pastiche of multiple B-movies and genre films‚ exploiting their tropes and clichés in a wild LGBT party of a film. Inspired in part by the work of John Waters‚ it gives a nod to a dynamic and creative underground of the pre-digital past – a time when political incorrectness and trash rhymed with transgression and carried real meaning and clout. Though "trash as trash can" is the film’s credo‚ these concepts have lost most of their impact today; their milder forms have been

In the forth (final) stanza the speaker again relays a felling of nostalgia‚ when he says "I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence". The speaker closes the poem with a
