Smoking‚ it seems has become an integral part of society. 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. As dynamicity tends to manifest itself through time‚ even the mentality of smoking done as part of a rite or for social functions only‚ has progressed into smoking as a daily habit‚ a need‚ an addiction. Thus‚ terms as menthol and lights‚ second

The "Ode on a Grecian Urn" by John Keats depicts the images and stories on a Grecian urn. Keats has the reader think about the difference between changeable real life and the immortal and permanent life on the urn. Also‚ the reader becomes mixed between observation of the art and participation in the art. The first stanza depicts the urn as an "unravish’d bride" and a "foster child" (1-2). These words describe the urn as unaffected by time and immortal. Keats also seems unable to distinguish

Ode to a Nightingale This ode was inspired after Keats heard the song of a nightingale while staying with a friend in the country. This poem was also written after the death of his brother and the many references to death in this poem are a reflection of this. Among the thematic concerns in this poem is the wish to escape life through different routes. Although the poem begins by describing the song of an actual nightingale‚ the nightingale goes on to become a symbol of the immortality of nature

MICHAEL ARLEN: ODE TO THANKSGIVING It is time‚ at last‚ to speak the truth about Thanksgiving‚ and the truth is this. Thanksgiving is really not such a terrific holiday. Consider the traditional symbols of the event: Dried corn husks hanging on the door! Terrible wine! Cranberry jelly in little bowls of extremely doubtful provenance which everyone is required to handle with the greatest of care! Consider the participants‚ the merrymakers: men and women (also children) who have survived

Wrestling; when most people hear the word‚ they imagine a hefty man with bulging muscles in a skimpy singlet‚ throwing other men across the mat. In reality‚ this is not the case for all wrestlers. They don’t all have 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

In life today‚ people tend to over exaggerate the phrases “happy as a clam” and “living the dream.” Dean Young‚ the author of “Clam Ode”‚ expresses how he relates to every other American struggling to find happiness in their life but in the end wishing to be comparable to a clam who is content with where he is in life. As humans we have the natural reaction to want more than we already have. We often focus on what is ahead of us or what we could have‚ rather than appreciating and accepting the pleasantness

"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
