"Lady Lazarus," a poem written in tercets, seems to face two realities: her own, and her perceived connection to the the Jews who had to face the worst types of torments imaginable. We may never know the full extent of what Jews and other minorities had to face during this time, but this dimly toned poem certainly tries to show an almost telepathic glimpse into their pain. The first tercet looks to be based on autobiographical fact. "I have done it again./

One year in every ten/I manage it--" (all quotes are directly from Lady Lazarus, Plath).

Here, the tone is immediately ominous. The poet has done something. This is rarely a good thing. ...

While Chubbuck saved the main idea, he made several changes that had impact on movie’s perception.

Human nature was unvarying, and free in its emotion. The church had long since attempted to block this humanity from the world, but romanticism attempted to join ...

The theme of racism in ‘Harlem’ by Langston Hughes All literary works have various elements such as theme, imagery, setting, rhythm, metaphors and characters, each used in a specific way to express the views of the author/poet, about the society in which he/she is a part of.

Life is full of many decisions, some small and some big. But in the end they normally reduce to only two important decisions, either of which could lead to two separate outcomes. Such decisions are so hard that years after we have made them we still wonder which was the correct choice.

This concept of ‘two’ describes the duality each character’s dichotomy, alluding to two possible outcomes for the story’s ending whether ...

FYW 101 Hatred between white and black people was, and still is, the major impediment to an individual's spiritual development. In his essay, "Notes of a Native Son", James Baldwin shows that hatred for others turns inward, manifesting as self-hatred, taking form in a variety of manners, including racial prejudice. Conversely, Baldwin shows that self-hatred also extends outward, manifesting as hatred for others -- in Baldwin's case -- white people. Throughout the essay, Baldwin comes closer and closer to an epiphany, a realization that change in race relations is necessary, but only an open heart free of hatred can truly change ...

The mythical presence of Socrates and his legendary acceptance of the poisoned drink have always fascinated the philosophers and historians alike. What makes the historical and philosophical character of Socrates even more elusive is the fact that Socrates himself did not write any big volumes of philosophy and the sole vessel to his philosophical contributions are the reminiscences of his equally gifted student Plato. Due to this indirect nature of the knowledge being passed down, one can never be sure of what Socrates really believed in as there are many conflicting views presented by other philosophers who were directly ...
