Thoughts And Feelings Group Of People
1,176 wordsHere we are in 1999 in a world that is booming with technological advances. One would have to ask, "How did we come so far in such a short amount of time?" It seems as though it was only yesterday that we were traveling by horse and buggy. Now we travel by bullet trains, airplanes, and rockets. Seeing the arts and humanities in everything we did years ago was much easier, because technology didn't seem to advance at the rapid pace it does today. Is that why so many people fail to realize the imp...

Bruce Dawe Apology For Impatience
683 wordsApology for Impatience for Gloria. On first reading, this poem seems quite incomprehensible. Out of context, the poem appears to be about love and relationships. Apology for Impatience was written in 1963 (wife dead? ) and it was written for Gloria, his wife. Dawe rarely uses a first person persona and it is through his use of the first person persona and the fact that it was written for his wife, that leads me to believe that Dawe was not just making a comment on love, but on his love for Glori...

Gender Boundaries Al 1998
1,480 wordsBoundaries are everywhere. Boundaries surround careers, streets, property and especially people. They are social, political, cultural and professional. One of the first things we learn as children is to stay within the lines; never overstep our boundaries. Communicating within one's boundaries can be difficult. Even more complicated however, is attempting to communicate across those boundaries. Miscommunication and misunderstanding are common when members of different groups converse (Mulac, Erl...

Some of these choices have had negative consequences, and some of these choices have had positive consequences, but regardless of the outcome, there remained the freedom of choice. Too often, ones...

Writing Write Dance
599 wordsIn his Essay on Criticism, Alexander Pope states that, True ease in writing comes from art, not chance / As those move easiest who have learn to dance. Not only do I agree with Popes statement, but I extend his idea to say that my writing is a dance. My writing is the dance of the pen and the paper. It is the crowd of strangers brought together by a common dance, or the lone man dancing naked in front of a bathroom mirror. Each may be graceful and elegant, but each may also strike with crassness...
