"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. ...

In the court systems, various felonies are penalized following the court's guidelines. There are a variety of particulars that go into a sentencing pronouncement.
