Entry 1: Today while I was with Bellingham‚ Wilson‚ and Dimmesdale‚ Pearl and Hester showed up. Everyone began to tease Pearl by calling her a bird and a demon-child. They also ask her why she was allowed to keep her child. Wilson tries to test her child‚ who is only three-years-old‚ about religious subjects. Hester begged Dimmesdale to talk to Pearl and her child. Dimmesdale says that God sent Pearl and that the child was seemingly meant to be both a blessing and a curse. This did convince Bellingham

“In The Cemetery where Al Jolson is buried” by Amy Hempel uses the word masks throughout the story to convey guilt‚ fear and unacceptance of death.

We are just beginning to understand that Hempel is describing two people in a hospital‚ the narrator is visiting her friend who is sick. They are both wearing masks‚ the narrator checks to make sure that she is still breathing and that she is not “ used to the mask yet.” The friend has

Brianna Velasquez U.S. History ll Since 1876 Peter Hacker 4/14/2014 Freedmen’s Cemetery Memorial One thing I have to say about this particular memorial is that it’s far more emotionally involving. The Freedman’s Memorial is architecturally classic and emotionally wrenching. It does what a true memorial is supposed to do: it makes you feel the pain and sacrifice of the people it memorializes. The Freedman’s Memorial is a mixture of park and sculpture garden. A wrought-iron fence surrounds most of

Longfellow in his poem ‘The Jewish Cemetery at Newport’‚ opens the scene with a cemetery in a “sea-port town” (Line 2). He instantly creates the imagery of an ocean and waves coming into the shore‚ much like how emigrants from the old world would come upon the shores of America. Longview describes these waves as “moving up and down” (Line 4) similar to the Jewish people’s long history of struggle; on occasions they enjoy peace: the ups‚ and then there is persecution: the downs. In his second stanza

Matt Cingari E 110 February 11‚ 2010 Sharon Olds’ “Leningrad Cemetery‚ Winter of 1941” is a very sad and dreary poem. This is because Olds writes about the Battle of Leningrad‚ a 900-day siege of Leningrad during World War II‚ and the lifelessness that is going on afterwards. Olds’ word choice throughout the poem is very important to the meaning of this poem. The way that she writes about this battle paints a very clear picture in my mind of what she is describing. Many times thorough the

We choose the reading prompts‚ A Jewish Cemetery Near Leningrad written by Josef Brodsky‚ and Bitburg written by Elie Wiesel. Both writings are similar in many ways despite being written by different authors. One is a poem‚ the other a speech‚ but they both express the emotional rollercoasters the Jews went through during the Holocaust. Not only are they both similar‚ but they’re also similar to the book‚ Night‚ written by Elie Wiesel. A Jewish Cemetery Near Leningrad focuses on the broken hope of

Done By: http://www.livetvee4u.blogspot.com/ Dante Gabriel Rossetti – ‘The Woodspurge’ Compare this poem with ‘A Birthday’‚ written by Rossetti’s sister Christina: hers is equally simple in style and language‚ but while she expresses great happiness‚ ‘The Woodspurge’‚ written in 1856 when the poet was twenty-eight‚ shows a man in deep grief and isolation. Like Christina’s poem‚ this one also uses images of nature‚ and ends with focus upon a simple wild plant‚ the woodspurge. But is the speaker
