AS A WEAPON IN THE HANDS OF THE RESTLESS POOR The story evolved around a man’s desire to answer the question for a book that he is writing, “Why are people poor?” He thought poor people were bounding themselves in captivity by not going out to explore. Mr. Shore started an experimental course and called it Clemente Course in the Humanities. He made numerous interviews that led him to the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility where he met an inmate named Viniece Walker. Ms. Walker provided Mr.
6) He remembers writing poems that are now locked in his drawer at home, along with a play called "Saul." 7) He pretty much explains how Kemmerich isn't going to need them, and that they should go to Muller instead of some random nurse who would steel them the second he dies. 8) Himmelstoss has a very bad temper and is seen as one of the meanest commanders. Another person in charge finds Paul and Cropp cleaning the barrack and sends Himmelstoss to finish the rest. This makes him even more angry.
Why I would just as soon put a hog in the electric chair at this” (Gaines, 8). With a lot of work to do, Grant reluctantly faces the problem. He says “I’m the teacher … and I teach what the white folks around here tell me to teach—reading, writing, and ‘rithmetic. They never told me how to keep a black boy out of a liquor store” (Gaines, 13). Grant feels like it is not his job to help Jefferson.
(line 13) “That means she’s a mount,” said Dyakov to the peasants, adding gently: “And you were complaining, old friend.” Throwing the bridle to his orderly, the Remound officer took four steps at a bound and, swinging his opera cloak, disappeared into the Staff building. This passage from “The Remount Officer,” one of the short stories in Isaac Babel’s Red Cavalry, highlights problems of identity by ridiculing figures of authority and fooling around with pronoun usage. This story also shows where religion’s true place is according to the Revolution. It ends on the bittersweet note that regardless of the revolution’s absurdities (which Babel references through sequenced contradictions), the population still obeys a proper mixture of brute force and theatrics - just as the mount in question
What business of mine is it...” Not my Business, Niyi Osundare Then in the final verse there is no separation, this is because it is showing what is happening to him. Imagery is used throughout the poem to compare the violence what is happening to the writer’s lack of interest to do anything about it. “They picked Akanni up one morning Beat him soft like clay And stuffed him down the belly Of a waiting jeep. What business of mine is it So long they don’t take the yam From my savouring mouth..?” Not my Business, Niyi Osundare Here you can imagine the writer sitting at his dining room table eating his meal
It was clear that Heaney would not follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and become a farmer, but instead he went on to become an English teacher, before becoming the internationally renowned poet that he is today. Themes • At its most superficial level, the poem can be seen to concern itself with a recognition of the process of nature, as the blackberries grow before ultimately decaying. • One of the most significant and personal themes of the poem is Heaney’s disillusionment with the agricultural lifestyle and a desire to do something more with his life, as well as his sense of guilt about feeling this way. The blackberries of the poem can be view as an extended metaphor for the agricultural lifestyle: Heaney initially enjoys the rural life as a child (as can be seen by the vivid excitement associated with the blackberry-picking in the opening stanza), but he gradually becomes disillusioned by it (as can be seen in the second stanza when the blackberries begin to decay. • The poem can also be seen to address the idea of the transitory nature of pleasure (how good things do not last), relating it to a familiar childhood experience of blackberry-picking in
My Captain!” In his class, he is making unusual works for his students in teaching them. An example of which is he ask the students stand on his desk in order to look at the world in a different way. In another class Keating has Neil read the introduction to their poetry textbook, prescribing a mathematical formula to rate the quality of poetry which Keating finds ridiculous, and he instructs his students to rip the introduction out of their books. Inspired by Keating, the secretly revive the school literary club named Dead Poets Society. Neil wants to be an actor but even though he knows that his father will disapprove he still continued to the audition that is held on his school for a play.
When the author separates "and the smart" in line 16, he emphasizes that the children in his class are not smart since they are not learning the correct information. it emphasizes the ignorance of the kids. It also uses word choice. For example, when he uses the word innocence in the first art of the poem, the narrator is introducing what the main thing the poem if going to talk about into the reader. They way he changes the name of events in history; from The Ice Age to the Chilly Age, the Stone Agee to the Gravel age and when he said "garden" instead of the War of the Roses.
This is added to emphasize his isolation in society. Nothing’s Changed is written in seven stanzas, one of which is considerably smaller, “No sign says it is, but we know where we belong”. This emphasizes his anger and feelings towards his position in society, shows the racial segregation enforced and illustrates that, although it is not official, everybody accepts the unwritten rule. Agard uses short lines “Excuse me” and almost no punctuation to convey the direct and confrontational nature of the message. It makes the poem go quickly so it feels like someone
Despite its significance as a once-in-a-million meeting, he feels as though he cannot say anything, since; “The people in Farquarson’s Living room seem united in their tactic claim that there had been no past, no war—That there was no danger or trouble in the world.” (pg 76) This incident may have triggered Francis unconscious resistance against the narrow and irrelevant suburban society. In fact, Francis Weed’s name is a symbol of what his true self is to Shady Hills; an ugly troublesome “weed” to the regular people, and that he will remain unhappy by staying in Shady Hills. Francis Weed’s “brush with death” at the stories beginning causes him to have the epiphany to start enjoying life, and he realizes that he is unhappy with following suburban
