theme for this semester is “The Good Life‚” but as the class read different poems‚ novels‚ and dramas‚ one will realize that “The Good Life‚” can have multiple meanings. The dystopian novel‚ Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel and the poem‚ “Waiting for Icarus‚” by Muriel Rukeyser has given me a good understanding of what the good life is about especially when one takes little aspirations and objects for granted. As the novel and the poem are being analyzed‚ the thoughts begin to evoke when

Literature 11 December 2014 Camus’s Absurdism in Waiting for Godot Voted “the most significant English language play of the 20th century‚” Waiting for Godot implies a strange meaning to all of us.

This essay focuses on how Absurdism‚ the commonly used

Box Room Essay “Box Room” by Liz Lochhead is a poem that I think is relevant to a teenage audience. The poetic techniques used in the poem such as word choice‚ theme and imagery help to achieve this. “Box Room” is a poem about a girl who is going to her boyfriend’s mother’s house to meet his mother for the first time. The mother is not really thrilled when she meets this girl and the poet makes clear throughout the poem makes clear throughout the poem that the two women do not get along. Liz

Drama 8 April 2013 Repetition in “Waiting for Godot” “I can’t go on like this”‚ with this last phrase Waiting for Godot ends. Although it might not seem a lot by itself‚ when reading the whole play it is possibly to understand about what is the character of Estragon talking about. He and Vladimir have been waiting for a person called Godot to come and meet them‚ and as the first act of the play shows they have been waiting for a while and they pretend to keep waiting for him‚ even if he does not shows

A momentary hush; the subway varies its rhythm obligingly for the people waiting.

2000’s; with a few of my childhood friends. As we walked up to the massive brick building‚ I could feel the atmosphere of excitement and the history of all the failures that it contained inside. The people standing around the green entrance gates waiting for the ticket readers to let them. I could hear the chatter of people close by as they talked about their day like this was not a big deal for them. I felt differently about it as this was not a regular event for me.

future of Chicago. The whole room was full of these tiny artifacts that no one would consider to be a part of history. One of these were Nathan F. Leopold Jr.’s eyeglasses‚ which reminded me of Dr. T.J Eckleburg’s eyes in “The Great Gatsby”. The entire room was filled with similar “odd” things‚ like a marble top table‚ a cane‚ and many more with amazing stories behind them. This room stood out to me the most‚ as it was unlike any other that I have ever seen. The room was lit with these small things
