Moreover, to claim citizenship, an Athenian had to prove that both hi...

Bear Arms Concealed Carry
2,102 wordsCertainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms.

Just like you cannot judge a book a book by its cover, you cannot judge a person without getting to know them. Both Edwin Robinsons, Richard Cory, and Wystan Audens, The Unknown Citizen try to do this. Who is to say that their analysis of the two characters is correct? The two poems are based onl...
