This mystified poem depicts feelings of ignorance as well as disinterest as “they” are treated with a lack of concern.…

    Within the essay ‘The Lives of Others’, author Alekskandar Hermon ends the essay with a rhetorical question. Hermon asks “What am I?”, which is a fitting question for an essay with the reoccurring theme of identity and self definition. Hermon continues further, accompanying the question with an answer of his own explanation. Hermon wrote, “I am complicated…I am nothing if not an entanglement of unanswerable questions, a cluster of others. I’d like to say it might be too early to tell” (24).Within this passage, the meaning behind Hermon’s answer could be in relation to the essay’s general theme. By stating that he is complicated, he could be implying that he is not easily definable by society’s structured stereotypes. Often times labels within…

All texts were credible because they were so interesting and would leave you hook into the book. Although it was the qualification of the text for example, Eli Wiesel “Night”, she uses so much detail so it makes you have a better and clear understanding in your head. “When I came to the back of the building, I heard a noise coming from a little room next door.” “I went up and saw Idek with a young Polish girl, half naked, on a mattress. “Then…
