From all the various themes the book My Promised Land by Ari Shavit introduced in just the first sections‚ it invoked my memory of past lectures‚ personal experiences‚ and thoughts on the matters surrounding the State of Israel and its inception.

Upon reading Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz” one would think the poem entirely talks about the dance and how it was special and memorable to the speaker just by the title.

The poem starts off describing the speaker’s presumed father’s smell of “whiskey on your breath” to show that he was drinking heavily (Roethke 1).
