Analysis Essay Just like any tool in a writer’s arsenal, characterization has the power to affect the meaning of any story.

In order to go anywhere in life you had to suffer. “For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There is not any other tale to tell, it is the only light we have got in all this darkness” (Baldwin, 98). The Blues in the story tells a story of its own. It starts at the beginning of your life and it will end with your life.
The clear distinction between “punishing” and “punishment,” becomes absolutely essential in this case. The essence of hell is that it is a place for those who will be forever separated from God, His characteristics and His people. It is a one-time judgment with lasting consequences. It is not an eternal punishing; rather, a punishment that lasts for all eternity. Hell, Strobel argues, was created as the place for those whose decisions in life led to inevitable separation from God.
It is now our national anthem, “The Star Spangled Banner”. The poem depicts what happened at Fort Mchenry, including how after many hours of fighting, America was victorious and their “flag was still there”. The true theme of this poem would be that victory can be gained no matter what the consequences, and always to remember to be brave and fight for the right causes, such as America and freedom. Rise up and celebrate when you have won, put fear in the enemies’ eyes so they never come
Army uses repetition to show that no matter what is going on in life always do what has to be done to make other people happy. The poem “We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks uses repetition with the word “we” (Brooks1-7). This word is what makes the poem stand out because it is repeated in every line and it makes the poem’s message difficult to find it also shows that the things that were done were done by two people and those two people will suffer the consequences together. The other poem “Sure Rains a lot Here” by Larry Rottmann, U.S. Army uses “sure rains a lot here” (Rottmann 4). This is the line that is repeated in the poem and these words create a picture in mind that where he is at everything is amazing and not what really is going on.
First, you must overcome the natural human instinct to defend anything you believe. Its o.k. you can be wrong, and you must be prepared to face and admit it when you are. Secondly, your thoughts will allow you to quickly think through the challenges of the world's knowledge and come to your own conclusions. The power of critical thinking is that it produces a self-reliant mind which is capable of great feats.
I like this quote because no matter who it is that is tearing you down, you should never let them. You should always stand up for what you believe in and stand up for how you feel. This quote is very important in the book because Sam finally stands up to
Death comes for everyone and there is no easy way to prepare for it. The only thing to do is to live your life to the fullest and treasure every moment and experience that you have. It is not taking anything for granted and always doing the best you can at everything you set your mind to, and achieving the goals you have set for yourself. This poem puts out the idea that it is okay for a person to die young, where in our society we grieve most when it is our young that die.
