Men Are Equal Point Of View
1,677 words
Although these three poems are written by two very
different authors, they both share a similarity in
one aspect: they both confess to how the speakers
truly look at their fathers. The first and second
poems, "Daddy" and "Happy Father's Day, " by
Patrick Middleton, confess to feelings of regret,
self-hatred, forgiveness, and a hidden love.
However, Sylvia Plath's "Daddy" expresses a morbid
hatred and disgust towards the father figure in
her poem. The confessional voice is evident in all
three, b...

2002 A Href Song Of Roland
1,908 words
Music has been a powerful force throughout
history. Its power has affected all aspects of
peoples lives. The ideas and attitudes people have
toward their country can easily be seen in their
music. While music in the early part of the modern
era (1400 - 1900) served to promote patriotism and
nationalism, musics role in the late 20 th century
seems a reversal and has been a deconstructive
force challenging nationalistic feelings. The
origin of all music is cultural (Nettl 940). Folk

organizations, often fight against a society they
deem unworthy of their attention and thus ignore.
However Emile Durkheim pointed out that deviance
is important ...
