A Beautiful Life Depicted In 'Barter' By Sara Teasdale
The poem “Barter” by Sara Teasdale interprets a view of seeing life as a beautiful thing. She presents life as “loveliness” and its something to take a minute to enjoy. All the stressors going around in your head just suddenly melt away for that one-minute you take to enjoy it. In the line “Count many a year of strife well lost” means that all that stress is lost, its not longer there, you are at peace.

    Summary Of The Novel 'The Simple Gift' By Steven Herrick

    An individual’s experience of belonging is invariably affected by their previous encounters with their environment and the people with whom they interact. This is clearly presented within the texts analysed. In the novel “The Simple Gift” by Steven Herrick the author successfully demonstrates the power of past experiences to both limit and enrich an individual’s sense of belonging to both their surroundings and influential people. Similarly in the poem “Drifters”, Bruce Dawe conveys the idea of constant change preventing people connecting and belong to a community or place.…

    Personal Narrative: The Painted Ladies

    After Big Sur and spending the night in Pacifica we went further north to San Francisco. When we spent the night in Pacifica our hotel was right near the ocean. It was such a beautiful view to wake up to. I just absolutely love the sound of the ocean. In San Francisco we went over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a pretty cool thing to see with the views of San Francisco and the ocean. We then went to the park across from the Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are the houses that appear in the background of the opening of the original Full House series. It was an awesome thing to go see as I grew up watching Full House and will still watch it from time to time. Once we were done at the park we went to the San Francisco Giants stadium. Although…

    'Bread Givers': A Literary Analysis

    Barack Obama is an example of a child who suffered as a result of the physical absence of his father. Obama’s father was awarded a scholarship to obtain his phD at Harvard, leaving behind Obama and his mother, and thereafter returned to his home country of Africa to fulfill his inherent obligation to the country. The absence of Obama’s father left Obama overcome with concerns regarding why his father truly failed to return, and what his father’s absence meant for his own identity. Obama’s father only existed through the various stories passed on by his grandparents and mother which, as Obama often suspected, were blurred as a result of perspective distortion and bias. These stories served as one of the main outlets in which Obama attempted to discover his father. The stories painted Obama’s…

    Compare And Contrast Sadie And Maude By Gwendolyn Brooks

    The short poem, “Sadie and Maud” by Gwendolyn Brooks compares the lives of two sisters who chose different paths growing up. From the beginning to the end you can tell that the lives of Sadie and Maud were drastically different. Sadie seems to be the extroverted sister that loved to get all the fun that life can offer. While Maud went to college Sadie stayed home and had kids out of wedlock, which was a big shock to Maud and their parents. While everyone seemed to think that Sadie was the shame to the family she didn’t regret not a single thing she did in her life leaving behind what to her was a life worth living. Maud, the more introverted sister, went to college and became more of a quiet little mouse. Maud didn’t take advantage of every…

    Murielle Minard's "The Gift"

    While reading the poem The Gift by Murielle Minard for the first time, I felt angry at first. I was upset at the fact that she was not allowed to play with the doll. If she received the doll as a gift, why can’t she play with it? She was only allowed to hold it in her arms, “…not to disturb its perfection in any way” (Minard, 1984). In my mind, she is a seven year old girl and if she receives a toy as a gift, why can’t she play with it any way she wants? And then, once her mother felt the daughter had played with her doll for an appropriate amount of time, she would, “rewrap it carefully in tissue, put it back into its own long, gray box and place it high on the closet shelf safe from harm” (Minard, 1984). The daughter is not allowed to play with it how she wants or when she wants. While it was frustrating for me to just read about it, one can only imagine how maddening it is for a seven year old girl to be told not to play with her new doll.…
