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.

English

Sophocles’ Antigone is the story of two protagonists’ Antigone and King Creon, who, in their pursuit to define their destiny, fade into oblivion.

The phrase, “We die for ever” (58), was told by Antigone to her sister Ismene, when Ismene tells her that they would have to face the wrath of Creon, should he come to know of their act. ...

To make my essay stronger for the portfolio, I did revisions in the four sections of the ...

For instance, the tramps and beggars are represented as pretenders whose bellies and bags are crammed with bread (Langland, 13). They are also described as gluttons who still aspire to a false sense of godliness. Hermits and ...
