Sigfried’s Smelly Socks! by Len Foley is a children’s story that infuses elements of metafiction with those of humour to explore the central theme of cleanliness. What is interesting about this book is that there is a beautiful romance between the illustrations and font that is difficult to find in children’s books.

In Ode to a Nightingale Keats introduces the reader to his discontent with the void of feeling he is experiencing. In the first line Keats says how his‚ “heart aches” which the reader would interpret as pain; however the second half of the first line he describes‚ “A drowsy numbness”.

hulk like physiques. No one could have imagined a small‚ lean 5’3 girl like myself be a wrestler. Barely weighing over 100 pounds‚ I struggle with the dirty looks and glares I get. The news spread like wildfire around my gossip-loving-school that there was a girl on the wrestling team. My peers questioned me with disbelief. They inquired with bulging eyes ‚”you’re the girl on the wrestling team?” I picked this poem because It doesn’t say you have to be a tough male with bulging muscles to be a champion

"Ode to an Orange" by Larry Woiwode took place in the winter of 1940s. It was "the winters of the forties" which I felt was very important in setting the background. It was a time of war‚ rationing of food‚ limited transportation‚ a difficult time to import items from other states and then adjustment from war of peace. Winter did not just represent cold‚ snow‚ wind‚ gray sky‚ limited sunshine‚ but a limiting of the senses. With this in mind it have also been difficult to obtain an orange that would

Once‚ called away to an unanticipated school conference‚ I began drafting my short noticed speech with a yellow wooden pencil. Unfortunately this graphite loaded‚ eraser-tipped writing spear has become an alienated object as I readily admit my dependence on a new technology of writing. I found that I had become so used to composing virtual prose that I could no longer draft anything coherent directly onto a piece of paper. It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t think of the words‚ but the deliberate physical

Since the 1500s or earlier‚ puffing on pipes and rolled fragrant dried leaves has bee a customary part of history which was either reserved for the royalties‚ dignitaries or for traditional rites.

Thus‚ terms as menthol and lights‚ second
