the soundtrack of who we each are? Do what we listen to support our core values in life? To answer this I sought out the one song I listened to most‚ “This Kiss” by Alex Days and Carrie Hope Fletcher‚ and interpreted its lyrics to see if it matched with my core values of commitment‚ happiness‚ and love.

This Is Just to Say is a poem written by William Carlos Williams that can exemplify the theme of revenge through literary devices such as tone‚ diction‚ and allusion. Although‚ this poem is interpreted in varying ways‚ the way I have interpreted it is as sibling rivalry.

2. 1. Why does religion play such a big role in this book ? This question is directed at the author. I thought it was odd how Margaret White (Carrie’s mother) was so obsessed with religion‚ since her parents (Carrie’s grandparents) weren’t.

Carrie would’ve been able to fit

In Herbert E. Meyer’s article “Why Americans Hate This ‘Immigration’ Debate” he talks about how immigration has always been a big talk among congressmen and American voters for a long time. What the Democrats and Republicans bring to the table is not what Americans want done. When Meyer tells us about immigration he states‚ “You come here with absolutely nothing except a burning desire to be an American‚” which is why we find so many people of the Hispanic decent taking low paying jobs (Meyer 70)

After reading‚ Why This Hurricane Season Has Been So Catastrophic‚ by Michael Greshko I’ve come to understand that climate change isn’t “directly” linked to specific environmental events‚ but can be used to explain such natural phenomena and their extremity‚ like hurricanes. Even though the article was not specifically geared for discussing climate change‚ it posed a specific type of natural disaster‚ hurricanes‚ which can be excited by climate change.
