The poet’s feelings of great admiration for and love of his mother are evident throughout the poem. The opening line with its succession of superlatives‚ ’most near’‚ ’most dear’ and ’most loved’‚ and straight way attests strongly to these feelings.

The warm‚ humorous‚ delightfully frank way Baker describes his ’irresistible’ mother in the intervening

Joseph Conrad’s novel‚ Heart of Darkness‚ is a work of complexity. “His stories often represent and suggest more than they say” (Skinner). Conrad gives the novel a perplex side through his tactfully written words. This unique language that Conrad uses gives a sense of duality to many phrases in the novel. The double meanings of much of the language that Conrad uses contribute to a reoccurring aspect of the novel‚ which is that often times there is far more substance to something than appears on the

In the book‚ “Strength to Love”‚ Martin Luther King Jr. said “ The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience‚ but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” In other words‚ a person’s character is defined by how they respond at a time of despair‚ hurt‚ and struggle and not how a person acts and what they stand for at a time of peacefulness and luxury.

This is because it is more thrilling to read about the misfortunes of someone than an a characters regular life. This quote is proven true in the two works The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne and in The Color Purple by Alice Walker. “Literature opens

Field Trip Reflection: MedStar Georgetown University Hospital I had great expectations before the field trip to the hospital. I was expecting a large and grand hospital field with the latest technology‚ stainless floors‚ and a grand waiting room. Perhaps from my previous tours at hospital facilities such as Vanderbilt Medical Center or UT Southwestern Medical Center exposed me to facilities that pushed more of their extra finances to renovating their building. I expected to tour to focus solely

REFLECTION My trip to the museum was educational‚ eye opening and a greatly appreciated experience. Before I visited the museum‚ I developed a preconceived notion that our National Museum was old‚ smelly and had little artifacts of interest. However‚ this was caused by me listening to stories about it and not actually experiencing it for myself. When I finally did‚ I was more than grateful for this building that held so much heritage and history of our nation’s monuments. I walked through the building
