It is clear that Lindow Man was a significant character in Celtic society, by looking at his well manicured nails, considering his freshly cut beard and the fact that scissors were a luxury at the time, healthy body, and evidence of mistletoe in his stomach; Lindow Man could have been a Druid, or a Celtic King. Radio carbon dating allows scientists to date Lindow Man’s body back to the Roman-Celt war in 43 AD. Ross and Brothwell believe that during a time of desperation, the Celts felt it necessary to sacrifice a significant figure in Celtic society in order to appease the Gods. They believe that Lindow Man was sacrificed simultaneously to three different Gods, Taranis, Esus and Teutates in order to thwart off Roman invasion. Furthermore, remains of burnt griddlecake were found inside Lindow Man’s stomach, an element of the Beltain Festival, except
His Mother washing – his father as a builder’s labourer laying sewer pipes. This image of their new life as “ hum-drum” contrasts starkly to the rich and fulfilling rural life they led in Poland as shown in the poem “Feliks Skrzynecki” “About farms where paddocks flowered With corn and wheat, Horses they bred, pigs They were skilled in slaughtering” However, the poet is aware of his parent’s sacrifice in order to give him a better life, particularly in the poem “St Patrick’s College” “Impressed by the uniforms Of her employer’s sons, Mother enrolled me at St Pat’s With never a thought To fees and expenses-wanting “What was best” This stanza shows that Peter’s mother could see the importance to her son of a good education and that both she and Peters father, despite the fees and expenses, only wanted “What was best” for their son. They also recognised that the school would help Peter to assimilate. An admission of their understanding of belonging and also that they were trying and
The connection between Peter and his fellow immigrants floats to the surface of his poem with the repetition of dates, enforcing the idea that time is a factor affecting the degree of belonging felt. He manages to group his audience to gather with the use of inclusive language which also presents the feeling that the family has developed great connections. The detachment of family bonds is symbolised by the mentioning of the ‘rusty bucket’. These notions of familial connection and detachment create a contrast in effects of both life styles. He managed to foreshadow threats created by the government and bureaucracies though his ominous tone and hyperbole of the factory.
Feliks, Peter’s immigrant father is the main subject of the poem, but Peter himself also becomes the subject as their ways of creating their places in the world are compared. Feliks is ‘at home’ in the world he creates for himself. Both male figures, father and son, create the lines that define
Q: how can the poems in the ‘moons on the tides’ anthology are seen to provide meaningful insight into George and Lennie’s relationship? In the novel of mice and men Steinbeck portrays the two male characters as itinerant workers who have an ambition to reach their goal by building up a stake to achieve their aim. As the book progresses on the novelist Steinbeck plunges into greater depth by giving us an insight of what society was like back then in the times of the great depression, without a shadow of doubt George has come to like Lennie and feels a sense of duty and responsibility towards him. Lennie needs George, however George needs Lennie. So in a bizarre sort of way they have a symbiotic relationship which gives them both mutual benefits.

A Wonderful Metaphor Allen Ginsberg is the author of the poem that I decided to read and that I find truly interesting and meaningful; a poem named “Homework.” I admire the way Ginsberg created this wonderful piece of literature to explain his inconformity with the world’s poor environmental state, political dynamics and social wrongdoings. Ginsberg compares the action of himself doing the laundry and doing the same to the world to wash out his own inconformity. One could think he is trying to explain that this world needs to change, but more profoundly he is saying that everyone’s “Homework” is to actively participate in changing this world for the better. Laundry is a duty that no matter how rich, poor, small, tall, black, white, etc, one is, one will always have to do. In my case, every week from Monday to Sunday I change clothes usually twice daily and then after accumulating two weeks’ worth of dirty clothes I do the laundry with my wife.
