In a poem of reminiscent adolescence‚ Sharon Olds defines a young girl who has the capacity to judge adolescent emotion with the benefit of time‚ for she is now a mother herself. This definitive view of adolescent values and thought is mingled with the mystery of symbolic mathematics‚ which represents a maturity of this thought and a colorful insight into the development of a young girl as she becomes a woman. This poem also accentuates the mystery associated with the minds of the female gender‚

Brianna Velasquez U.S. History ll Since 1876 Peter Hacker 4/14/2014 Freedmen’s Cemetery Memorial One thing I have to say about this particular memorial is that it’s far more emotionally involving.

The Freedman’s Memorial is a mixture of park and sculpture garden. A wrought-iron fence surrounds most of

The cemetery that I visited was the Benedictine University Cemetery. It is a cemetery on campus where all of the reverends‚ pastors‚ and important religious idols affiliated with the school‚ are buried. The cemetery has a path that runs through the middle of it and it leads up to a statue of Jesus Christ on the cross. This is not a grave‚ but more a religious centerpiece that the eyes can focus on. Around the centerpiece are many rows of crosses. In front of those crosses are head stones in the ground

Corrina Bryceland ‘Dark Encounters’ Imaginative Essay The wind howled around me like a pack of starving wolves as I entered the cemeteries rusty iron gates. Yet it seemed so wild and chaotic that it reminded me of home‚ so it didn’t bother me at all‚ I was used to it. My brother’s headstone was only a ten minute walk away so I let myself drink in the moonlight and the memories the cemetery held. I remembered the first time I went there with my mother‚ just after Jason died... She led me down the now familiar mud

Blackberry Winter Robert Penn Warren’s "Blackberry Winter" is the story of one young boy’s sudden and painfully realistic venture from behind the blissful cloak of childhood innocence into the more brutal reality of the world. Warren captures this transition through the eyes of the young and happily naïve Middle Tennessee farm boy‚ Seth.
