"Ode to an Orange" by Larry Woiwode took place in the winter of 1940s. It was "the winters of the forties" which I felt was very important in setting the background. It was a time of war‚ rationing of food‚ limited transportation‚ a difficult time to import items from other states and then adjustment from war of peace. Winter did not just represent cold‚ snow‚ wind‚ gray sky‚ limited sunshine‚ but a limiting of the senses. With this in mind it have also been difficult to obtain an orange that would

Smoking‚ it seems has become an integral part of society. Since the 1500s or earlier‚ puffing on pipes and rolled fragrant dried leaves has bee a customary part of history which was either reserved for the royalties‚ dignitaries or for traditional rites.

MICHAEL ARLEN: ODE TO THANKSGIVING It is time‚ at last‚ to speak the truth about Thanksgiving‚ and the truth is this. Thanksgiving is really not such a terrific holiday. Consider the traditional symbols of the event: Dried corn husks hanging on the door! Terrible wine! Cranberry jelly in little bowls of extremely doubtful provenance which everyone is required to handle with the greatest of care!

They don’t all have hulk like physiques. No one could have imagined a small‚ lean 5’3 girl like myself be a wrestler. Barely weighing over 100 pounds‚ I struggle with the dirty looks and glares I get. The news spread like wildfire around my gossip-loving-school that there was a girl on the wrestling team

now seemed to overwhelm and constrict me as I longed for the flexibility of digitized text. The computer is the latest development in writing technology; a promises to change literary practices for better. Bonnie Laing‚ the author of the essay “An Ode to the User-Friendly Pencil” is strongly against the boycotting pencils. Unfortunately‚ Laing’s argument that the pencil is superior to a computer is poorly demonstrated due to her biased diction towards analog writing instruments and ignorance of the
