On Gut In the poem “On Gut” by Ben Johnson there are many different perspectives that one may have about the poem. In the first two lines of the poem which reads Guts eat all day, and lechers all the night, So all his meat he tasteth over twice; (1-2) in my opinion means that the speaker explains the comparison how the gut which is in the stomach and eats a lot, and lechers which feeds off of other things to survive. The both have common features so the author uses literary device metaphor to compare the two. The author can mean that the speaker is a greedy person and is feeding off of someone else. In line two, the perception that I made was since the speaker to me likes to feed off of others he is saying that it is like they have eaten twice because they have had pinched off of everyone else.
So much so that as a child he runs away from a foster home and encounters a white police officer and does not know if the police officer is going to hurt him or not. All African Americans in the Jim Crow South are constantly living in fear just as Wright is. Wright has very few school years that he actually finishes due to the fact they constantly have to move around to stay safe and for Wright and his mother to find enough work to survive. Wright faces extreme racism at every job he works also. When he is younger, he helps out whites around their houses for pay and he seems to be treated the same way he would have been treated if he were their slave.
Within Emily Dickinson’s poetry, she expresses her own perceptions of what is within the package of an individual’s yearning to belong in society’s game. This positions us to shape our own notions and understanding of what belonging entails with Dickinson’s insights as an initial framework. In the area of belonging, being accepted or gaining a sense of affiliation by someone or a group of people may require you to alter something about you and what you are about. Similarly, where there is an opportunity of belonging or a sense of placement there is always the possibility of loss and neglect. Within Dickinson’s poem I died for beauty.. beauty and truth underpin the essence of her message of sacrificing yourself in the name you desire to be recognised as.
The family having lived in America during the American Great Depression, it is clear that the family was ravaging in poverty and poor education. In fact, Nicole had to be assisted on how to write the letter to his father by the wife because he had no knowledge of how to write one (Mazer, 1993). In abundance desire to share his memories, Nicole found it valuable to invite some of his friends who could dine and share memories together with is his family (Mazer, 1993). Nicole valued his friends as his family, which helps the story buttress the importance of family (Mazer, 1993). According to the story, it is unfortunate that the dog found the goatskin and ate it up making it hard to build the ciramella (Mazer, 1993).
Brutal fights break out quite often over the constant struggle of hunger. Why do they fight? To get the others food. Living in poverty was Jody Wayhan. She had been arrested for beginning a fight at a soup kitchen.
Menudo was the food I hated most. Its texture and taste made me want to throw up. Now my anxiety to trying pozole turned into a disappointment and had me wanting to eat pizza again. My mom looked at me and asked what was wrong so I told her how now that I knew what pozole was I didn’t want to try it anymore sine it was like menudo. She then said “When it is ready I will give you some from my plate and if you like it I’ll serve you some for yourself.
Part B) he tries to eat his guests, not very nice, or hospitable. Page 1017 2. (Part A) The sirens lure men to their death by singing to them. Their songs are so beautiful that the men are unable to resist coming over to them. (Part B) The danger from the sirens is much greater than that from the lotus eaters.
He makes up a metaphor about a hotel having food and him politely singing for food everyday and they tell him they do not have any even though he has seen it. He stands outside singing his way “we are hungry please let us in!” After time goes by of begging the song is going to change to “we hungry we need some food!” After weeks go by of no food the song changes to “give me some food I'm going to break down the door!” He than says after years it changes to just picking the lock and getting what you need to survive. In the interview Tupac gives this metaphor as his reasoning to why he is so full of rage. That is a metaphor for black people “asking” for equality. Tupac says “we asked with the panthers and we asked with the civil rights movement now it is time to act.” Even though Tupac was so “pro black” and not many white people who be caught dead listening to his music, now in the twentieth century it is common for any one to listen to any artist from any race.
People would creep in at night on Eli’s father and hit him to be able to steal the little food he had. I will never forget the image of the sick father getting beat for his food because that was his food and nobody had the right to steal it. He was sick and the little food he had he needed. I felt pain when I read of this part in the book. The pain the father must have been in trying to fight for his food and then getting it taken from him and having to feel hunger and sick.
It is hard for me to watch as most people that were being filmed were clearing starving and often close to death. A film unfinished is an eye opening film of what the Jewish people went through even before the death camps and work camps. The film shows the contrast between the wealthy and poor and the everyday lives of the Jewish people in the ghettos. It often shows the trade at markets and the stores that offer food and supplies. Which was shown as being full of meats and vegetables but forgets that most of the population cannot afford anything and are starving.
