Anna Akhmatova's 'You Thought I Was That Type'
The poem “You Thought I Was That Type” by Anna Akhmatova is filled with worth by her heartbreaking words. Anna is feeling absolutely furious and deeply hurt by some man she came to love. Everyone will experience heartbreak sometime in their life and probably more than once! Anna really expresses how awful it feels.

The worth is in her feelings. They’re true and emotional. The reader can tell this is a writer who felt everything that she put down into words. When you finally read “I will never come back to you.” the reader feels the same anguish the writer does. I believe true emotions have an enormous amount of worth in any type of writing.

This poem is worth an amazing amount, especially in this day and age. The

    Cheryl Swope begins her book, Simply Classical, by introducing the reader to her two children, whom she and her husband adopted. It was not long after adopting the children, who were twins, that Swope and her husband realized they were different. Both children suffered from a multitude of handicaps that made it impossible for them to develop on their own like normal children. These first chapters describe the effort, as well as the various methods, that Swope employed to help her children lead lives that were as normal as possible. Many times throughout the book, Swope lauds Classical Education, as the key to all her children's successes, but the time and effort that Swope put into training her children…

    In the article "Homeland" by Anna Maria Dell'oso, the issue of identity; in particular, cultural identity, is thoroughly explored by the composer. It is mainly about how identity is passed on from generation to generation, changes over time and is influenced by a person's surroundings. The composer conveys this through her use of symbolism and sharp and often humourous contrast. It is about her search to find her Italian identity, while at the same time her mother loses some of her Italian identity because of changes influenced by time and surroundings.…

    Born in May of 1958, in the town of Killeen, Texas, she was born to be a writer. She began her collegiate studies at Auburn University. In 1981, she received her bachelor's degree from Colgate University. Following this, she received a master's degree from the University of Iowa’s Writers’ Workshop. After this, she furthered her pedigree by earning her second master's degree in linguistics which also came from the University of Iowa. In 1998, her work was an alternate for the PEN/Hemingway Award, and also won a Whiting Award and the Nelson. The novel, The Memory Keeper’s Daughter, won Book of the Year in 2006, which is also what this paper is about. The content mentioned in paragraph one clearly illustrates why she wrote the book, and how it influenced her life. She not only made her name solidified in the field of writing, but also she wrote the book for the right reasons. The story told by the pastor influenced her although it did not come full circle until she went to a writing workshop and saw those who were disabled. She then began to think that she could make the novel work. She started writing the book and finished the first chapter rapidly, and then finished at a slower pace. Thus it is clear that through the events in paragraph one she learned more about down syndrome, following this thus influenced her life in a positive…

    From Alfalfa’s letter in The Little Rascals, “Dear Darla, I hate your stinking’ guts. You make me vomit. You are scum between my toes. Love, Alfalfa,” to the song Love Stinks by the J. Geils Band, it is apparent that heartache is felt by everyone. It can be experienced and dealt with in countless ways, but its universally-felt agony is what allows poets, singers, and writers to connect with their audiences in such a personal manner. In the poem “Getting Through,” Deborah Pope uses poetic techniques to make a personal experience accessible to a range of audiences. It is a poem of heartbreak that uses the devices of tone, language, structure, and relatability to illustrate the effect love can have on people and how hard it is to give that feeling up, even if it is not returned.…

    The next element that I enjoyed from this poem is the tone that the author uses. I think there are two different tones that she is portraying, a sad tone and a stern tone. At the beginning when she is talking about the man holding is dead wife in his arms the tone seems sad. Then it changes when she is talking about the love and chivalry he is showing as well. I imagine her talking about the man’s courage in a very stern tone of voice.…

    Her passion and expectations about composing poetry was stand out conspicuously when the reader looked her biography. The experiences she had in the poetry are something hard to do for commonplace people. Detailed pictures about her suicide situation shows her sense of poignancy. Her lifelong extraordinary experience definitely did not make her look vulnerable and passive women. She can be an aggressive like a roughneck. She showed her strong will that she can go to extremes to vocalize her torment.…

    Her Kind

    The poem “Her Kind” by Anne Sexton brings attention to her readers from digging deep into the true meaning behind her imagery. Her poem is quiet but along with an intense emotion, it brings out most of what she truly felt in reality. Anne describes very descriptively three roles of women in society that are overlooked and judged constantly by the people around them. In Anne’s eyes, she makes us feel that as good of a person she can be, she’s always overlooked and misunderstood and she would rather leave the world with her dignity in hand than become what society wants her to be.…
