Victor's Poem An Angry Men
Victor was a happy kid, but with the alcoholism and the abuse hem and her mother receive, makes hem an angry young men. However with all this the victor in the movie feels more passive-aggressive, like when they are in the bus and he tell the gymnasts why is she complaining, she was just a loser being a alternative in the team. But in the other hand I totally get hem, she was just complaining for no reason, if we compared that where they coming from (Indian American).

    Brooks’ poetry, so rich in personal detail and authenticity, often does not have to justify the moral side of issues like other poems usually do. Her work, for me, seems less confessional and more like realistic humanity, a difficult feat to accomplish when so much of the material speaks of inner turmoil, lost loves, and wistful sadness. Honest in tone and filled with common and often disturbing themes, the poems were ones I was able to connect with. “The Mother” and “The Sundays of Satin Legs Smith” are two poems that speak to me in terms of universal longing and pain. I have never had an abortion, but I know several people who have. In fact, last year I had an 11th-grade student who was pregnant, and I told her that I would gladly adopt the baby. She said she would consider it, but she ended up having the abortion. For a couple weeks after she got back, I kept wondering what that child would have been like; but then, I had to force myself to put it out of my mind. “The Mother” brought back all the joys of having a child and all the disappointments of not having a second one.…

    Near the town of Soledad in California, there is a ranch with many hardworking and tough ranch hands. This is the setting for Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men. This ranch has a cold, harsh, and “mean” atmosphere. Here, violence works as a precursor for actions that are even more alarming. Because America is going through the Great Depression, life is not always humane and neither are the people living through it. In Of Mice and Men violence serves as a catalyst for all of the important events in the novel.…

    Reginald Rose has been a juror before, and he has used his experience to write a play in which he portrays the case of a murder of a boy’s father being put into the hands of people that do not take their responsibilities seriously. One of these characters includes the 7th juror. The author’s use of idiom suggests that in a democracy, there are often citizens that don’t take their role in a democracy seriously. When the writer states, “He’s a bull, this kid. Shoooom. A real jug handle”, (Rose, 2-5)., Rose is conveying his perspective through the 7th juror. The juror’s lack of interest in the case illustrates that there are people in a democracy that have a serious and important role but do not care, and only slack off. Holbrook has a similar…

    The wounded heart now enormous tune of sorrow, Skunk breath a force to linger tomorrow. Saint unreal a body-less per poster, Bound by force that will never divide as greater. Benevolent a flaunt of no remorse, Unmistakable tone unruly of course. Patch up the hole in your britches; water new soil, Be thankful thieves ravishes in turmoil.…

    In the very first sentence of Sherman Alexie 's "This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona," you can assume that the main character, Victor, is facing a hard life. Not only did he lose his job, he also lost his father to a heart attack the same day. The story tells the journey of Victor and an old friend, Thomas Builds-the-Fire, traveling to Phoenix to pick up his father 's ashes, pickup truck, and money from his savings account. Victor did not have any money and neither did anyone else living on the reservation, "Who does have money on a reservation, except the cigarette and fireworks sales-people?" (page 275) Victor has to turn to the tribal council for money, but they are also low on funds and can only give him one-hundred dollars. Thomas is considered the town’s outcast and he is the only one willing to help Victor. Victor goes on to say that he used to be friends with Thomas until they were about fifteen and then Victor turned his back on him because everyone else thought he was weird. He also talks about their childhood and the memories they share and the fact that Thomas knew about Victor’s father wanting to leave before it ever happened. “Once, when they were seven years old, when Victor’s father still lived with the family, Thomas closed his eyes and told Victor this story: “Your father’s heart is weak. He is afraid of his own family. He is afraid of you.” (page 275). Thomas ends up giving Victor the rest of the money he needs, but only if Victor allows Thomas to go along.…

    In Situations much like Richard Cory's, we as outsiders don't know how they are and what they are truly going through. It's one of the scariest things, one day we see a person and the next we find out that they're gone. We hear things like: ‘Oh she/he was such a happy person, they had everything.' But what we fail to realize is that everything is nothing when a person isn't internally happy.…

    * Victor earns disregard and disdain through his insufferable egotism and unprincipled and reckless judgement. Time and time again, he fails to take responsibility for his own actions, ushering in destruction as a consequence of personal inadequacy. In thinking that he could become Godlike and bestow life, he was doomed to spend his final months of life suffering the extremity of grief and social isolation.…

    After Victor hears about his dad’s death he decides to go to Phoenix to get his dad’s remains. But he don’t have enough money so Thomas offers him help in one condition that he will be allowed to go with him too. This way Thomas helps him with the money for the travel and they head towards phoenix by the bus. One thing I noticed about Victor was the he shows he is tough through out the movie and he has a belief that if he has to get respected by the white people, he has to be serious and be a warrior which he tells Thomas to do too. When they reach to phoenix, the lady named Suzy gives the remains of Victor’s dad and tells him what kind of good man his father was even though at that stage victor still has the same impression he…

    When talking about happiness, a vast majority of people will think of wealth, a good reputation, high social status. In Edwin A. Robinson’s poem “Richard Cory”, the author depicted a gentleman who was well-educated, polite, and “rich – yes, richer than a king”. In the people’s view, Richard Cory was a happy person. They admired him, and they “thought that he was everything, to make us wish that we were in his place.” However, Mr. Cory, “one calm summer night, went home and put a bullet through his head” (Robinson). Nobody can image that this “happiest man on the earth” would commit a suicide. Nevertheless, was Richard Cory really happy? His happiness was concluded by bystanders, not himself. All he used to possess just…

    The nature of conflict is a clash or coming together. There are many different types of conflict; it can come in varying scales of size and intensity. For example something which starts off as a family feud may end up as a World War. We can look at the causes of conflict, what actually happens or the effects. Tennyson’s ‘Charge of the Light Brigade’ paints a picture of the glory and honour of soldiers in battle as it happens. It describes an incident during the Battle of Balaklava during the Crimean War. Sheers’ ‘Mametz Wood’ focuses on the aftermath and futility of war. Hughes' 'Hawk Roosting' looked at the causes of conflict, someone who has power but wants more and does not think about the effects of what they are about to do on others. Another poem by Hughes is 'Bayonet Charge' where there is a soldier in battle trying to escape from getting shot.…
