Reflect Its Own Slow Effacement Reflect Its Own Slow Prufrock
856 words, talking of Michelangelo, a subject so deep that it begs a discussion more serious than that of the chatter at ladies' tea parties.

Prufrock then decides to switch back to this other, more beautiful world, and he describes the fog rubbing up against the windowpanes. He describes the fog almost as if it were an animal; personifying it and giving ...

Political Correctness Politically Correct
654 wordsReport: Politically correct is such an innocent term. How can anyone be against something so friendly, something that is supposed to encourage harmony and peace between all people? My answer is Ha! Although I do agree that kindness, respect, and courtesy in our everyday life are to be promoted, it seems to me that they lose much of their meaning if they are oppressively forced upon us by political correctness.

White Light Long Run
1,029 wordsThe song I chose for analysis is Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. I have looked over the lyrics of the songs and come to the conclusion that the song is about the Apocalypse. It is about how people would react if they knew that the world was about to end. I have broken down the meanings in almost every verse, which I will show later on in this assignment. The mood of the song is slow and depressing during the time in which they are waiting for the end to come. By the end of the song it gets f...
