In the poem "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Master Lee, mentions how a person wants to let the world know what it looks like, a girl who is dying and craves and cries for affectionate, she wants to be known and wants the people to be put in the verses she wrote. She thirsted for love and hungered to live longer. Butch Weldy and Doctor Meyers were at fault and taken full responsibility to her death, the towns village view is scene as a town in which people may die by the way they look and walk. The town is careless full of bad people. They are judged by their appearance and not by who they are, their personality.

company. He did not realize that it was set on and exploded right there and then in his eyes and the powder or what the canning released got into his eyes and he mentioned how much it burned his eyes and he sat down, he was blinded from the explosion and he knew it was one of people who worked there, the servants but he stood there saying "I didn't know him at all." He did not want to blame the company at all. In the poem "The Circuit judge Roy Butler's" by Edgar Master Lee, shows how people can be fake and you can not trust anyone because they will put you ay fault, for something you know well you did not do.
The people who told, invited him over their house, he went over, the mens wife opened the door and welcomed him in, and as he took a step in, the guys wife screamed and snatched the nearest rifle and almost shot him at their door. They were sent to court and the judges did not believe a word that came out of the man and the wife. He was then free to go after being hold in charge of "crime."
In the poem "John M. Church, Lawyer for the mine." by Edgar Master Lee, mentions the couple on the previous poem, those who went to court and they did not win the case. The guy walked out and then suddenly "the rats" my best guess is, thats how he mentions the couples and they killed him and they devour his heart, until nothing was left of him. The "snake," the husband, made his skull into a nest after his bones only remained. It was a devastating loss of the men to

die. In the poem "Doctor Meyers" by Master Lee, mentions how one night, Minerva ran to Meyers crying and sobbing, wanting help, she was in trouble, Minerva died at his home, the newspaper, written and told as his fault, accused for something he did not do.
He only tried to help, sometimes it back fires on you and you are put to blame. In the end Meyers died of pneumonia. A lesson learn here can be, do not help people who are endangered in your home because you will be blamed.
In the poem "Mrs.Meyers" by Master Lee, states how her husband was not at blame for anything, he was not suppose to be at blame, Mrs.Meyers was only trying to protect her husband after he had died. She was heart broken, she is sad he died and past away. He was defending him from being blamed and accused of doing something that was not wrong but because she died, Mr.Meyers was to blame because he was the last person to touch her, while saving her.
In the poems "Indignation Jonas" by Master talks and he was the father of Minerva and he was a shame of what he had done and been accused for. The inference we can make about small -town America is how people truly are not matter if we are worst or better he judge people to the point where they feel the need to do, what he could have done for his daughter, and it was to safe her but he couldn't and because something so terrible not being able to do something about it afterwards is the hardest

Why would a married woman go out, spend the night with a man whom she barely knows, when she has a wonderful, devoted husband and child? Mrs. Mallard's cry of ultimate relief and the joy she felt when she learned of her husband's deathis intolerable.

In "Annabel Lee", a young man is mourning the death of a beautiful young lady. Even though the woman had died quite some time ago, the man is still in melancholy. He misses her terribly and constantly thinks of how she was she was tragically taken from him by the angels who were jealous of their love, and by her family who didn't think the he himself was capable of bringing her to her final resting place. He loved Annabel Lee more than anyother human can love another. The following quote tells the reader how much he loves her and shows that he would do anything for her, even if that means sleeping by her tomb, each and every night. "And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side of my darling, my life and my bride, in her sepulchre there by the sea, in her tomb by the side of the sea."
Body: The poem opens with the acknowledgment that we wear these masks that hide our true feelings. It emphasizes the cruelty of the pain and suffering that the masks try to cover up, comparable to the picture. By the end it should be well understood, all of the politeness and subdued emotions are just blind of the painful truths that hide behind them. And those masks certainly are not doing anyone any favors.
Similarly to the way people hold expectations for the daystar, or sun, to rise every day, mothers are expected to perform their duties like cleaning the house or taking care of the children. Both are taken advantage of and are not fully appreciated until they stop performing their duties. Throughout the poem, the woman’s daughter and husband are given names, “Liza” (line 12) and “Thomas” (line 17) respectively, but not her. The woman is only referred to as “she” or “her” which further highlights the lack of acknowledgement she receives. The mother is taken for granted by her family and is not regarded as important. Her efforts are ignored and she is never thanked for completing her tasks around the house because that is the role she is “supposed” to fulfill.
She would not have grieved over someone she did not love. Even in the heat of her passion, she thinks about her lost love. She knew that she would weep again when she saw the kind, tender hands folded in death; the face that had never looked safe with love upon her, fixed and gray and dead. Her love may not have been the greatest love of all time, but it was still love. Marriage was not kind to Mrs. Mallard, her life was dull and not worth living, her face showed the years of repression.
To begin with, though strict rules and rituals executed in Jonas's community are essential to an orderly society, they can also efface villagers human rights including individuality, dominating in villagers lives instead of supervising them. Under strict laws such as release and stirring reports, the villagers in Jonas's community are deprived of their individual uniqueness and become identical. For example, as shown at the beginning of the book, For a contributing citizen to be released from the
Have you ever been told you weren’t pretty enough or you were too tall, your feet and butt were too big, or you were ugly? Marge Piercy’s poem sheds a bright light on how differently women handle criticism and rejection. The poem really sadden me and it stroke me to my core. As a woman, I’ve been through puberty, acne, and poverty. While in grade school, my fellow class mates were so jaded and mean spirited with their words toward me. The same people who were calling me name where in the same situation as I. Piercy writes, “She was healthy, tested intelligent, possessed strong arms and back, abundant sexual drive and manual dexterity. She went to and fro apologizing. Everyone saw a fat nose on thick legs.” It appears the young lady was happy with herself. She saw no flaws and was confident in her looks and intelligence. But it only takes one negative comment to override years of self-love. The young lady in the poem even apologized for being herself! How emotional crippling that must have been. She let a few nay sayers wreak havoc on her life and form that point on, she did whatever she thought would make the nay sayers approve of her. She sought their endorsement and no longer possessed any power within. Tragically, this did not end with a waltz to her bedroom. The lack of recognition and need to be desired ended up killing her. “In the casket displayed on satin she lay with the undertaker's cosmetics painted on, a turned-up putty nose, dressed in a pink and white nightie. Doesn’t she look pretty? Everyone said” (Piercy). She changed her nose and fat legs and only in death did they see her beauty. This poem was few in words but spoke volumes about a woman’s mental state. Women are very in tune with their feelings and are willing to appease others, even if it means killing ourselves in the
... witness box he broke down completely, weeping, clasping his hands and saying, 'I swear to you, sir, my wife is innocent.' The magistrate sternly told him to control himself, and began to question him. Bit by bit the true story came out.
Chopin describes her as a fragile woman. Because she was “afflicted with a heart trouble,” when she receives notification of her husband’s passing, “great care was taken” to break the news “as gently as possible” (1). Josephine, her sister, and Richards, her husband’s friend, expect her to be devastated over this news, and they fear that the depression could kill her because of her weak heart. Richards was “in the newspaper office when the intelligence of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’s name leading the list of killed” (1). He therefore is one of the first people to know about his death. Knowing about Mrs. Mallard’s heart, he realizes that they need to take caution in letting Mrs. Mallard know about it. Josephine told her because Richards feared “any less careful, less tender” person relaying the message to Louise Mallard (1). Because of her heart trouble, they think that if the message of her husband’s death is delivered to her the wrong way, her heart would not be able to withstand it. They also think that if someone practices caution in giving her the message, that, ...
... Therefore, instead of losing mental stability because of old memories, one should try to embrace sanity and perpetuate it in life. Moreover, the poem emulates society because people fantasize about looking a certain way and feeling a certain way; however, they are meddling with their natural beauty and sometimes end up looking worse than before. For instance, old men and women inject their faces to resemble those in their youth, but they worsen their mental and physical state by executing such actions. To conclude, one should embrace her appearance because aging is inevitable.
It can be concluded that the speaker is a caring and loving gentleman. The narrator of the poem is a young gentleman whom can also be perceived as Edgar Allan Poe himself. “That a maiden there lived whom you may know/ By the name of Annabel Lee” (line 3, 4). The poem is about a person loving a woman; therefore it is positively obvious and apparent that the narrator is a gentleman. There are also repetitions of the words “I” and “my” throughout the whole poem, which confirms that the narrator is in fact Edgar Allan Poe himself. “And, so all the night-tide, I lie down by the side/ Of my darling, my darling, my life and my bride” (line 38, 39). The use of the words “I” and “my” supports the theory that the person narrating the poem is Edgar Allan Poe. It is also visible that the speaker is very sad and emotional about the loss of his wife. The narrator is having a difficult time getting over the death of Annabel Lee which is apparent in the last stanza. He still sleeps by her even though she is
Now that we have a little background on the author, we can take a closer look at the actual work and its characters. The two main characters of the story a narrator and her husband, John, and the story takes place in the 19th century. Life for the two is like most other marriages in this time frame, only the narrator is not like most other wives. She has this inner desire to be free from the societal roles that confine her and to focus on her writing, while John in content with his life and thinks that his wife overreacts to everything. Traditionally, in this era, the man was responsible for taking care of the woman both financially and emotionally, while the woman was solely responsible for remaining at home. This w...
