Mother And Father Red Meat
870 wordsDismembered dolls and burning felines are not scenes one would usually associate with a child's playroom, that is, not unless having read the poem "Scenes from the Playroom" by R. S. Gwynn. This poem tells the story of a day in the life of an affluent family, but is the reader getting the whole story, or as the title suggests, just a "scene?" The poem opens with a scene one would expect to see in a playroom: "Lucy with her family of dolls" (Line 1). The author conveys nothing out of the ordinary...

Fate Explored In Romeo And Juliet
491 wordsA pair of star-cross lovers, (prologue, line 6). Since the opening of the play, Romeo and Juliet were destined to die. Throughout each act and throughout each scene, from constant foreshadowing and ill omens, even Romeo and Juliet knew their tragic fate. As much as the two lovers wanted to be together, all their efforts and the efforts of others were purely futile, and as much as everyone wanted to blame others, only fate is to blame. It is a common belief that both Romeo and Juliets parents are...

Analysis Of Anne Sexton Poem Her Kind
1,717 wordsAnne Sexton was a poet and a woman, but most importantly, she was an outcast. Subjected to nervous breakdowns and admitted to a neuropsychiatry hospital, Sexton must have been all too familiar with the staring eyes and the judging minds of the public. Just being a woman in today's world often can be enough to degrade a person in the public's eye, let alone being labeled as a crazy woman. But Anne Sexton did not let society remain unchallenged in its views. She voiced a different opinion of women...

Dulce Et Decorum Est Iambic Pentameter
1,781 wordsHistory has taught us that no other war challenged existing conventions, morals, and ideals in the same way World War I did. World War I saw the mechanization of weapons (heavy artillery, tanks), the use of poison gas, the long stalemate on the Western Front, and trench warfare, all of which resulted in the massive loss of human life. We must remember not only that the battle casualties of World War I were many times greater than those of World War II, wiping out virtually a whole generation of ...

Line 6 Line 4
656 wordsAnalysis of A. E. Housman s To an Athlete Dying Young Dying young is considered by most to be one of the most tragic of fates. The specter of things undone and a life unlived haunts the funeral and colors the grief to an even darker shade. Most people desire to live to a ripe old age and would be shocked to have a premature death viewed in a positive light. Yet, this is exactly the driving force behind A. E. Housman s To an Athlete Dying Young. In the poem, dying young and at the height of your ...

Gender Roles Quot Line
1,326 wordsDeborah Pope The fearful, gloomy woman waiting inside her darkening room for the emotional and meteorological devastation to hit could be Aunt Jennifer, who is similarly passive and terrified, overwhelmed by events that eclipsed her small strength. " Aunt Jennifer's Tigers" is, however, an even clearer statement of conflict in women, specifically between the impulse to freedom and imagination (her tapestry of prancing tigers) and the " massive weight" of gender roles and expe...
