All of these except one were sung in a call-and-response manner, accompanied by an organ, with a lone soprano singing the verses, and the congregation singing the chorus sections. The last hymn, the recessional hymn, was sung by everyone all the way through. As is usual for hymns, they were slow and quiet in nature, and had one single line of melody, as this was not a professional choir. This was live music, accompanied by ...

Both poets use alliteration, meter, and rhyme in nearly opposite ways to strike at the heart ...

By 1915, both the British people and poets began to realize how horrific and terrible the war really was, and poems thereafter ...

The short stories, Two Kinds by Amy Tan and Powder by Tobias Wolff, seem to be autobiographical accounts of their childhood memories—Tan of her strict mother and Wolff of his estranged father.

As an adult, one can view his or her childhood past in better—and perhaps more grateful—perspective. On cannot be who he or she is without his ...

The sermons, by and large, focus on ways that the information in the Bible helps people have more rewarding lives. Outside Christianity, the focus seems to be on ways to get yourself ...

Often domestic in focus and "remarkable for its empathy, sympathy, its muscular and emotional identification with its subjects," Williams's poetry is also characteristically honest: "There ...
