Finger Only One Finger One Finger Only One Finger Confession
1,680 wordsAll the trouble began when my grandfather died and my grand-mother - my father's mother - came to live with us. Relations in the one house are a strain at the best of times, but, to make matters worse, my grandmother was a real old countrywoman and quite unsuited to the life in town. She had a fat, wrinkled old face, and, to Mother's great indignation, went round the house in bare feet-the boots had her crippled, she said. For dinner she had a jug of porter and a pot of potatoes with-some-times-...

Theme On Emily Dickinson
828 wordsThesis of my paper that I am trying to prove to the reader is that Emily Dickinson is a brilliant extraordinary writer.

In one, there appears to be life after death, but in the other there is nothing. A number of clues in each piece help to determine which poem believes in what. The clues in I heard a Fly buzz-when I died, point to a disbe...

One Can Assume Rite Of Passage
1,261 wordsThe Secret Sharer written by Joseph Conrad, centers around a character of a sea captain. Its title and opening paragraphs forecast a story of mystery, isolation, duality, darkness and silence.

Her ideas about love and death were shared in many of her poems, including The Bustle in the House. At times her poems almost seem to tell the reader that death is acceptable as long as one has love...
