Comparison

Last week, we learned about poetry that were written by women and this week we are now learning of poetry written by men. In comparison, their literary views are different, where as the women poetry  are more sensitive and at home than the men.

Figure it Out

So, this week's core lesson is figurative language and understanding them in the poems given.They are metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, and symbolism. Understanding these languages will enable you to gain light bulb ideas to our essays.

Literary Imagery

Literary Women

This week as we read the poems written by women, us women can relate to them in different ways and be inspired, as they come from a woman's point of view. As you indulge into literary poems they allow you to connect with your five senses. Not all are able to immediately figure them out, but we can put our own little twist to writing our understanding.Thanks to all the women who have set the pace for all of us women.

On the Subway

In reading the poem "On the Subway" in lines 18-20 states he is in my power,the way I am living off his life, eating the steak he does not eat reflects power and privileged. Lines 21-22 states he is black and I am white suggest racial segregation. In lines 29-33 states this life he could take so easily and break across his knee like a stick the way his own back is being broken refers to in the time of slavery, the master would beat the slaves with whips over their backs until their skins are open and rich blood running down.

Symbolism

 The cross is an important symbol in my life. It represents life, freedom, the blood that Christ gave for me, so I shall live.

Elements of Drama

Word Power

In watching the short lecture "An Introduction To Drama", I have added four new words to my ever expanding vocabulary. The words are: Protagonist- who solves the conflict, monologue- a long speech by one character, soliloquy- speech given by a character alone on the stage, and aside- statement make to the audience, but the other character aren't suppose to here it. One word per day increases one's word power.

"Trifles"

I think the theme for the play "Trifles" is revenge. After Mrs.Wright found her sweet, pretty, and fluttery bird dead, she became outraged and took all that anger she had boiling up inside, and kill her husband. Maybe he was verbally, physically, and/or mentally abusive to her. These could be one of her motive and after finding her dead canary was the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Reviewing Doc1

After going over my Doc1 I realize I have some adjustments to do. I have yet, to get the full grasp of literature,but I'm getting there. It's a little difficult to gather my thoughts when I'm are tired.  

A Lot on My Plate

So, here I am overwhelmed. I decided to do four classes this semester, working a full time job and taking care of my family at the same time. I didn't really know how much four classes would consume me entirely until now. I'm so tried in the evenings after work, I barely have room for myself to relax. I know I can do it, but it 's taking a toll on my overall being.What was I thinking?

Plot

You may not know the actor or actress of the character been played, but a good plot will keep the audience in suspense, and a need to know what will be happening next in the scene.

A Parent Point of view

We are living in a society where parental rights has been slowly ripping away from under us one pull at a time, by our lawmakers, who are enacting laws that allow our young daughters, at a earlier age to have access to the morning after pill, without a prescription, not to mention without parental consent.
Do they consider that these children are still babies? You can still smell the similac on their breaths from afar. Have they thought of the medication side effects and how it will affect their developing bodies. Have they thought of the long term effects of the entire family unit? Who will be paying for this medication? Is it the parents or the tax payers? The morning after pill (one tablet) cost $43.00-$55.00 depending on where you go. I'm applaud.
