An Enemy Must Be Worthy Of Engagement Analysis
The poem talks about how someone as your enemy can be your friend. This poem was chosen because of how I act around this person. Not every day we are besties because we do get angry when we don’t agree on things. “An enemy must be worthy of engagement,” means that I can challenge my pearson and see who’s right on the a subject. “It’s the heart that asks the question, not my furious mind,” and that question is, is it worth not being friends after being friends for so long? And no not many things can stop me from being friends with my pearson. Also, we might not look like T.V. friends but we are friends.

    Assignment 2.05: Who Attacked First?

    On April 19, 1775 there was a battle that stumped people of what really happened that day for years. There are many explanations and theories of what happed but I have my own perspective of what really happened that dreadful day, of April 19, 1775. What I feel happened on that day was that when the three groups followed pretty much the same path until they came to the British patrol stopped and captured the revere and dawes group retreated back to Lexington where Prescott and the British continued there route where Edward Gould’s Affidavit group had fired first after the provincials had retreated back to the Concord, where then after they returned with up to three to four hundred people is when Edward Gould’s Affidavits group had drew up on the Concord side of the bridge, in which they were the first to fire, killing some of the men. My theory came from the testimonies of Edward Gould’s Affidavits, John Parker Affidavits, and Simon Affidavits. I also got my theory from the maps showing the routes taken.…

    Behind Enemy Lines Analysis

    Evoked by the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992, the Bosnian War is a clear representation of ethnic conflict gone horribly wrong. Spanning from 1992 to 1995, it demonstrated on of the worst displays of mass ethnic cleansing in Europe since World War II. Mainly perpetrated against Bosniaks by the Serbs, the Bosnian War left the country of Bosnia in ruins and left millions displaced and thousands killed. John Moore’s Behind Enemy Lines portrays the final days of the war as an American navigator attempts to get out of dangerous enemy territory. Due to the fact that this film focuses on the experiences of US soldiers and that slight differences are made between this movie and the historical event, the connections between the two are not always very…

    Carolyn Kizer Bitch Poem Analysis

    It is clear to see in the poem that it has been some time since the two individuals last saw each other and that the speaker has let tensions grow over an unresolved issue. The female speaker mentions “Now, when [we] meet, after all these years” (Kizer, 948, 1) which would imply that several years have gone by since their last meeting. As one continues to read, the feelings of resentment that are felt are brought to attention. In line three, she refers to the man as a “trespasser” and then proceeds to say that he is “just an old acquaintance tipping his hat” (Kizer, 948, 4). The manner in which she refers to him alone would reveal the bitterness that she has for this man. As if this was not enough, readers are presented with the metaphorical incarnation of her inner “bitch”. It is through this manifestation that one can identify the hurt that runs deep inside of her and that she tries hard to conceal. When the two first greet one another, “the bitch starts to bark hysterically” (Kizer, 948, 6). This “bitch”, is acting as the speaker’s protector and demonstrates its aggressiveness towards this disliked individual. She must remind herself that “he isn’t an enemy now” (Kizer, 948, 7) and that he can no longer do her any harm. It is following “a kind word from him” (Kizer, 948, 10) that there is a change in the manner in which the “bitch” is reacting. It is almost…

    This poem that was written by Marion was originally published in her book Telling. Her main focus on this article is to describe the real life views that we have in our friendships.

We as the readers don’t realize it but her article is very true. We all have friends in each of these categories.…

    The meaning of this poem is that although war can tear apart the world as you may know it, leaving chaos in its wake, as portrayed by the bombed out building, and the broken furniture in the street. It also gives a glimpse of the fact that people are resilient and will rebuild, as we see by the…

    I Know He Exist by Emily Dickinson

    The theme of the poem is based from God “hid[ing]” from mankind. In the first line, the persona uses “He” referring to God. The persona knows “He exist” but does not know where he is. Emily using imagery in line three “He has hid his rare life,” and in line six “the fond Ambush” allows us to understand that she thinks God is hiding from mankind. Enemies “hid” from their opponent and “Ambush” them and “prove piercing earnest”. The persona must be calling God the enemy of mankind. Although, God is doing a “fond Ambush” on her, but this is not Him being mean. He is performing a loving, affectionate ambush on her. What kind of enemy would attack with a loving, overindulgent ambush? God means the creator of the universe, but the noun’s connotation suggests grace, mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and a friend who is always there for you. Emily applies verbal irony calling God, the creator of the universe, an enemy. An enemy is known as an opponent that wants to harm you. Emily suggests that God, as our enemy, wants to love us. Emily is only beginning to surpass the boundary of thought most ever engage in.…

    The Crucible Reflective Essay

    It is about two people who have a lot in common but are too afraid to show their true colors. They looked for other people that were like them and they finally passed by each other and never knew that they were exactly alike. They were not being true to themselves therefore they missed out on an amazing encounter. The message I received from this poem is to always be true to yourself; never try and be someone else because you are unique and there are people who are looking for your unique personality. By being yourself you can be truly happy and find the people that are meant to be in your…

    what courage leads to

    Often, one will find himself relying less and less on his peers while his friendships disintegrate and life moves along. As he puffs out his chest, clenches his fists and puts on a courageous face, he gains confidence and bravery to follow his conscience. Even if an individual wants to fit in and be part of the group, he needs to stop and do what is morally right, not compromise his values just to be accepted. The braver the person is, the better he grows his personal integrity. In this poem, Auden realizes that to build one’s morals, he must be courageous and trust in himself. He states, “Fight back, then, with such courage you have...” (5. 2) Auden is implying that no matter what happens, one must fight back for himself in order to stay honest and true. In another stanza, the poet writes, “Smile again on the shore of your esteem... the storm has changed you: you will not forget, ever.”(1. 2-4) He is basically saying that an individual…

    Military Engagement Rules

    Walzer’s sliding scale of justice in warfare can be described as a way to justify normally prohibited actions. One of Walzers arguments is that violations of just war conduct in war have been justified in some historical circumstances when the moral emergency was high. One example of this is the bombing of Dresden because of the threat of Nazism’s victory would be a moral catastrophe and the British seemed in danger of losing the war. It would end the war sooner than it would otherwise end and, despite the large number of civilian casualties they inflicted, at a lower cost in human life. The British bomber command was justified in destroying Dresden when the moral emergency represented by losing the war is sufficiently high. According to Walzer the scale slides but not all the way “the more justice the more right” The greater the justice of the cause the more rules can be violated for the sake of a…

    "Storm Warning"

    In conclusion, the literal meaning of the entire poem is a basic warning for a storm. On the other hand, metaphorical meaning is a storm inside a heart, a storm of past. The organization and the concrete details help us figure out the hidden meaning in the poem, where the mood is pretty dull. "This is our sole defense against…
