Hughes is describing America as this “great strong land of love,” which triggers readers’ emotions and makes them feel a desire to go to America in order to seek this love. Contrarily, by saying words like “let it be,” he is saying Americas has not come to the point or has strayed away from the point of love and he wants it for the future. From these two points, Hughes paints a picture of optimism and patriotism but reveals the harsh reality of America by giving the description of America as a place where “king connive… and man be crushed by ones above,” for the immigrants and the poor. This confirms that the current standard of living in America is not acceptable, and he hopes that in the future things will be different. Another example of juxtaposition shown is through man vs. environment, that is, in a society of poverty, greed and power of wealth: I am the immigrant clutching the hope I seek, and finding only the same old stupid plan of dog eat dog, of mighty crush the weak, I am the young man, full of strength and hope,
The poem I read was “I Hear America Singing.” This poem was written by Walt Whitman. The poem was about the country America, and everyone in it was proud to be at work.

In his quest he learned the true meaning of running and life, in which love takes a big part of. As humans “We run when we’re scared, we run when we’re ecstatic, we run away from our problems and run around for a good time. And when things look worst, we run the most” (Page 11). Running is part of our everyday life. We run for two reasons: fear and pleasure, while the Tarahumara solely run for the love of the sport.
He began his poem with a cheerful mood and ended it with a dramatic, unfortunate revelation. Clashing with the noticeable straightforwardness of its stanzas, Incident conveys a saddening childhood memory of racial injustice. First of all, the author starts off with a nostalgic stanza; a nostalgia that is filled with hope of meeting new people and gaining memorable experiences in Baltimore. He tells of his sojourn in Baltimore—‘once riding in old Baltimore’ (Literature for Composition 671)—with an emphasis on the word ‘old’ to perhaps inform his readers that Baltimore has changed a lot since the incident. Or perhaps to stress that ‘old’, racially prejudiced Baltimore is no more.
Tomorrow, When the War Began reminds us that even in times of chaos and trauma, the human spirit will always triumph. Do you agree?

The narrator, Ruri, is frightened throughout the story and it shows that through the tone of the story. The poem, ”I, Too”, shows America as a place where people don’t always choose to do the right thing but that doesn’t mean people are necessarily evil. The narrator is proud that one-day people will respect him more. Finally in the poem, “Chinese Hot Pot” America
Americans relocated thousands upon thousands of Indians from their tribes and dwellings. When these types of things happened, it was necessary for the Indians to change their lifestyle along with their familiarized cultures and traditions. “Change moves relentless, the pattern unfolding despite their planning” (Line 34 Tremblay). This quote helps readers understand the carelessness that the settlers had on the Indians, as the Indians are saying “Change moved relentless” (Line 34, Tremblay) they had no other alternative but to move with the rapidly changing culture. A synonym for the word relentless is harsh or ruthless; nor of these words means anything good.
Ben-Gay Will Carry You Across The Finish Line In today’s world where people are becoming increasingly focused on and aware of the need for more physical activity, running has become a popular choice to both getting fit and staying fit. “3,103 MILES…AND BEN-GAY ALL THE WAY” was printed in 1981 to promote the use of Ben-Gay pain relieving ointment in running.

In a high impact and demanding sport such as running, Ben-Gay will improve conditioning and endurance.

As of then, I felt more confident with my ability to go fast the rest of the race. One mile sped by, still in the same place with my teammate, Cardiac Hill was rapidly approaching. Just then, my teammate announces to me, “Ethan, I know you can run faster than this.” I turned to him, nodded, then took off.
