Max Boerstoel Mr. Leonardi English 11‚ Period 4 31 March 2011 The epigraph of Toni Morrison’s novel Song of Solomon introduces the most important and central theme of the novel; flight. It reads “the fathers may soar/And the children may know their names”. The novel is focused on flight and how it affects those left behind; the driving force behind the story is an old tale about Milkman’s great grandfather Solomon flying back to Africa and leaving his wife Ryna behind with 20 children to tend

The poem “Song (Love‚ a child‚ is ever crying)” was written by Lady Mary Wroth in London of 1620. Wroth has made this poem into a comparison of her love to a child throwing a tantrum. Throughout the poem she has made claims for a man natural greed to take from a woman. “Give him more‚ he the more is craving”. During Wroth’s time it was not common for a man to romanticize like a woman normally would. A man during that time had more freedom at the cost of a woman’s social requirement to always be mature

The song of the spectators The main idea is to be a spectator instead of an participator. Which means that you should not be someone who participate to accomplish something or that you just should like record events instead of being a part of one. To be a spectator can be good sometimes. In a fight the spectator would probably like "look the other way" and not try to dominate anything. The poem says that "we recognize that we survive by being separate. It is only the participant that dies"

“Good People” is a song unlike any other that instead of highlighting all the good things in life‚ takes a different perspective by showing when even everything seems lost‚ we can still make a difference. The artist behind “Good People‚” Jack Johnson‚ also shows how by hoping and waiting for others to improve the world‚ hence “Where did all the good people go‚” we may be waiting indefinitely for others to act. I feel that this shows how I must do what I think is right and be an active participant

On the surface I think I am like most young and modern American women: I take school seriously‚ I have dreams and goals for the future that I am determined to make happen‚ and I don’t expect anyone to do the hard work for me. I come from what is an increasingly normal background: my parents are divorced and I live with my mom and sisters and only occasionally see my dad since he now lives on the other side of the country‚ but I still feel very lucky to have a supportive‚ if spread out‚ family behind
