Blakes Little Girl Lost
984 words
A Little GIRL Lost from Songs of Experience is one
of Blakes most important poems. Though judging the
aesthetic value of a poem is nearly impossible, I
would contend that A Little Girl Lost is better
than The Little Girl Lost found in Songs of
Innocence. Perhaps because A Little Girl Lost was
composed as an afterthought to its original
counterpart, having been first written in
Innocence, it acts as a conclusion to the original
poem. The two poems both observe a young girl as
she encounters a wor...

Morrison always emphasizes the fact that she comes
from lower social strata: She looked at Pecola.
Saw the dirty torn dress, the plaits sticking out
on her head, hair matted where the plaits had come
undone, the muddy shoes with the wad of gum
peeping out from between the cheap soles, the
soiled socks, one of which had been walked down
into the heel on the shoe (Morrison, p. 71). We

Fatigue On Airline Pilots

Fatigue on Airline Pilots Airline pilots,
especially those on international routes, often

airlines to allow pilots at least 8 hours of
uninterrupted rest in the 24 hours before
finishing their flight duty. The work of test
pilots, who check the flight performance of new
and experimental planes, may be dangerou...

Eternal Truth True Meaning

Poetry Poetry has changed tremendously since the
19 th century however, when we read our
contemporaries, I feel that they illuminate a
world we share. With all of these transformation
in literature, poets from one hundred years ago
wrote about topics which are still relevant in
todays modern world. It is remarkable that their
written words can tell us more about our present,
than they did about our past. Is it just an

Rock in the 60 's, to Disco in the 70 's, to Punk

Choice Of Words Word Choice
658 words
Some readers may define the tone as anger in James
Stephens A Glass of Beer. Others may even say that
it leaves an unpleasant tone. By studying the
choice of words that Stephen uses to convey the
tone of his scene, I will demonstrate that beneath
the seemingly outraged situation of the poem lies
something funnier. The true tone of A Glass of
Beer is a sardonic one. Examining each stanza of
the poem offers numerous examples where the tone
of the poem is sustained by the choice of words.

Claude Monet Brush Strokes

Claude Monet always stood alone; his feet
resounding heavily on the solid road that he was
determined to follow until the very end. With
tiny, dabbing brush strokes his paintings, more

imprecise, can suggest an infinity of objects that
go beyond the instant and eternalize it. Born in
