Taylor Stephan Section 2 Exam “States” 1. Edward Said emphasizes the scattered‚ alienated nature of the Palestinian people. In my opinion‚ Said clearly displays that it is unfair to ask “What is it you Palestinians want?”. Palestine‚ once recognized as a country and a community‚ is now shattered into a plethora of pieces.

In “Icarus‚” a poem by Edward Field‚ a mythological character is placed in the bustling and oxymoronic reality of the modern world. Figurative language‚ irony‚ syntax‚ and perspectives are essential elements of Field’s relocation of Icarus‚ whose relocation exposes an alienating and unrelenting 20th century setting.
