What do people when their are backed against the wall. In Powers’ “He Don’t Plant Cotton” one snowy night in a lounge three workers had to carter and serve a crowd of over zealous and disrespectful white people. Through this we see how they deal with stress of work. Dodo‚ the bartender and a piano player‚ talks about them when his back turned‚ Baby‚ the drummer and waiter‚ does what they tell him to do with a smile‚ and Libby‚ the singer‚ plays dumb. Or In the end quit. The story demonstrates how

For example‚ in the first paragraph the father snuck in his underage son “into a nightclub during [their] last visit” (Powder 17). Apparently from what the narrator had said‚ it seems that the mother and father have separated and the son is currently residing with the mother. The irresponsible behavior of the father may have been a factor to the separation of the family. Second‚ “he was indifferent

“Man is born free‚ but everywhere is in chains.”1 Or is he? In running‚ too‚ I have seen‚ you all have seen‚ the change in technique.

In Jeffrey Klassen’s essay‚ “He Looked Into the Grim Reaper’s Eyes and Nervously Laughed‚” he describes Henri Bergson’s theory on comedy and applies it to the movie Office Space.

According to the two poems‚ I do prefer the second one as it felt more emotional in content. In the “Peer of Gods He Seemeth to me”‚ Sapphos explicates upon her emotions in an intricate fashion. For instance‚ she describes her intense passion for a lover in lines such as “my tongue is broken”‚ “ impalpable fire runs tingling”‚ and “sweat runs down in rivers”. I find Sapphos’ poems to be far more complex than most modern love songs today. Nowadays‚ the majority of modern love songs are either commercialized
