Hard Times
... shows significance in the way Dickens is trying to help the reader get an understanding of what is to come. Dickens shows the way the working classes are fighting for a say in the way they are treated at work by forming unions and how a bad negotiator can ruin things. He shows from the start that the education system is based on "fact" and not "fancy." The breakdown of the "fact" based education is shown when Gradgrind himself asked a question that is not fact based. In the end, the whole system of education is reversed and the "fancy" is fancied. The novel can be summarized as a book about two struggles. O ...

Poetry Assignment
... The two poems "The Sick Rose" and "Fog" are very much alike in the sense that they both use the introduction of weather and animals to shape the poem and give the reader a sense of displeasure. In "The Sick Rose" the poet introduces a worm and storm and in "Fog" the poet uses the fog and a cat. The subject matter is perhaps similar in these two poems with the fact that both poems embody foul weather that prevent life from flowing in its normal path. To be more specific, a storm destroys plants, animals, and life in general, while a fog blocks out the sun and its energy to spring life.
In "Fog" the poet, Carl Sandburg, uses the weather condition of a fog as t ...

Les Miserables
... that is like animals. The rich treat them as though they are inferior and that they have no feelings or any form of intelligence. They are also not given the right to vote, which makes them not citizens of that nation. This theme is universal because every nation in the world has some sort of outcasts in their land. In America, this theme can be related to the blacks. In the beginning of the twentieth century they did not have as much rights and oppurtunities as the whites. Another example of how this theme can be related to America is how a person with a southern accent is perceived as less intelligent, which is a false misconception. The theme -how criminals are ...

... Many of their lives were lost. “Six benches were left empty in every ship”. Their selfishness cost them friends and shipmates, and made their attempt to get home, even more difficult.
After stabbing Polyphemus in his eye and blinding him, Odysseus provoked and harassed the Cyclops, which angered him immensely. “ Cyclops, if ever mortal man inquire how you were put to shame and blinded, tell him Odysseus, raider of cities, took your eye: Laertes’ son whose home’s on Ithaca”, shouted Odysseus to the crippled Polyphemus, which was not very smart.

Poem 2
... hardware store called ACE
But teaching is what he wishes to chase.
Hunting and skanking is what he loves to do
His name is Mickey now onto number two.
The next girl is the understanding one.
She takes a lot of crap, but it’s all in fun.
I.S.U. is where she chose to learn
An education she hopes to earn.
Soccer was her favorite sport
She is very good, although she is quite short
Hanging out with her is always cool
She did quite well during high school.
She has always been a real smarty
Whenever we visit her, she knows where to party.
She will always be a part of the group
Her name is Julie and she’s the second of the troop.
My long tim ...

Emily Dickinson: Transcendentalist Experience Through Imagination
... all the Souls that stand create-, I have elected-
One” . Dickinson's works were meant to taunt society by showing how a woman,
ironically trapped in her “natural” surroundings of the home, could obtain as
much power, if not more than any male writer. This ironic revisions of ideas is
directed at all male transcendentalists and figures in society.
Both Ralph Emerson and David Thoreau used societies stereotype of the
true male environment, “nature”, to draw their power and write from their
experiences. Experience was the most important factor to these writers. The
ability “to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account in my next
excursion” was t ...
