Hart Crane's "To Brooklyn Bridge" is a rare poem that effectively uses diction to convey the immensity of something as large as a bridge. "To Brooklyn Bridge" is much more than a dedication to the famous bridge. The poem's word choice represents the grandiosity of the bridge itself. Its diction and tone combine to achieve a quintessential work that accurately depicts the size and importance of the Brooklyn bridge to New Yorkers and non-New Yorkers alike.

In the first stanza, Crane asks a question in a rather inquisitive tone. "How many dawns, chill from his rippling rest/The seagull’ ...

Emily Bronte’s novel “Wuthering Heights”, which was firstly published in London in 1847, has raised many discussions and disagreements. One of the most disputable issues regarding this novel is the question whether “Wuthering Heights” belongs to Romanticism or Realism. For better understanding of the problem it is important to define these notions. Thus, in brief, Romanticism in literature “is more concerned with emotion than rationality. It values the individual over society, nature over city. It questions or attacks rules, conventions and social protocol” (luc.edu). Meanwhile, the concept of Realism refers to representing “events and social conditions as they ...

On January 21, 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court decided that corporations had equal rights as individual citizens with regard to campaign contributions during political elections. This therefore implies that corporations also enjoy the protection of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights (Freedom of Speech). The court case was Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (Levin-Waldman, 2011, 178). The above reaction to the court decision is from the liberal side and I agree. I think that the decision was not good and not respectful of the rights of citizens. Democracy is no longer powerful when campaign elections can ...

Al Capone was a gangster who ran an organized crime syndicate back in the 1920s in the Chicago area during the Prohibition era.

He was even dubbed as the modern-day Robinhood for his knack in helping the poor people. Born in 1899, Capone was the fourth of nine children born to Gabriele and Teresina, both Italian immigrants. ...

Exercise 1: Your March 3 (00) editorial describing the deeded lineage of Willamette Meteorite overlooks a salient aspect of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community’s claim to the artefact. The pervasive ramblings of the United States Cavalry across Indian land had a very coercive effect on Indian willingness to sign treaties in 1855, when the land on which the meteorite rested was obtained by the treaty. The Willamette Meteorite doesn’t belong in the Museum of Natural History any more than the Brooklyn Dodgers belong in the Los Angeles.

Answer: The above paragraph can be reformulated as premises and conclusion as follows:

Reading mama Lola has made me understand that religion is all about observing certain religious believes rather than just being part of a religious sect. Every religion is directed towards a supreme being, yet the religious proceedings are dependent on where an individual was brought up. Many times, people condemn others for observing certain religious rituals, terming them evil, yet they do not understand the reason behind it. One unique feature about religion is that anyone who dedicates his or her life to it feels it is the right form of religious worship. Religion plays an important part in an individual’ ...

Urban Farming is a new methodology of introducing farming to cities and to the urban landscape, particularly on top of buildings where it can be positioned conveniently for enough sun exposure and soil placement. Such examples include Brooklyn Grange Urban Farm and the roof garden in the Waldorf Astoria. Both exemplify that farming activities can be done in urban places. I have observed several differences between the two urban farms. It can also be contested that Waldorf Astoria is more like a garden than a farm due to its smaller scale compared to the urban farm in Brooklyn. And also, the ...

As a father of free verse, Walt Whitman breaks the limits of the general poetic form, and in general, his poems are prose-like.

He reflects and mirrors the nature and the world around him because he strongly believes there is a symbiotic relationship between poet and world. He rightly says ...

I must admit that I had my own preconceived ideas and notions about the mentally retarded persons all along and before I had an opportunity of volunteering in a facility that provides care for the mentally ill. Even at the moment when we were given an opportunity to volunteer in a mental health facility, I had my own ideas of what I would see, experience, and what the patients or the mentally retarded would be like. These notions had been built into me and developed throughout my life through listening to popular opinions from people and readings from the media. I ...

The programs that would be analyzed for the current discourse are the Early Head Start Program of the Children's Aid Society and the Promise Neighborhoods Program. At the onset, the two programs share similarities in terms of focusing on the educational needs of children in poor or disadvantaged neighborhoods. Likewise, the strengths of both programs identified their apparent capacities to address, not only the academic needs of children, but also eventually earmarking an improvement in the welfare of these marginalized families through improving the socio-emotional and educational needs of their children. On the other hand, these two programs ...

One of the most prominent themes in Death of a Salesman is that of betrayal. Arthur Miller thoroughly and effectively examines betrayal and the different forms it can take.

It is not secret that there is still racial inequality within society. The mass migrations to cities have left many neighborhoods overpopulated, destitute, and families mainly minorities, left holding the bag.

When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d

The Poem entitled “When Lilacs Last In The Dooryard Bloom’d” is Walt Whitman’s romanticized story of an American leader during a trying time. In his poem, he shows the audience his own meaning of democracy as well as racial equality.
