The phrase “Going Down” could be taken in a poetic way or literally, and the poetic meaning can be found in the poem “Building an Outhouse” by Ronald Wallace. Many regard the outhouse is much less elegant than poetry, this is where the “going down” shows, however, the author succeed in connecting the two together, as we found out in the poem, the two actually have shared elements: the shape of that entity: for an outhouse, it requires the “shape” is in accordance with “mathematics”, for a poem, it may be the rhyme and the arrangement of words; the quality of the building process: for an outhouse, it is about the experience of the builder, for a poem, it may be about the poet’s linguistic skill; and the quality of the raw material, a good outhouse’s
wood need to have a sweet smell, and it should last long, a good poem’s raw material is words within, and it should have the quality to withstand “critics”. The author shows his ability to write a poem out of something is less beautiful, we need to go down into the basic life, the deeper we go, the better we can understand the physical world, and the words we write can be better. In line 12 of the poem, the narrator uses “sonnet”, a poetic form, to describe a “Tight” outhouse, this can be seen as a link between the spiritual world and the material world, the spirit comes from the material, and good spirit, represented by good ideas, can lead the material to a greater height than before. This theory actually comes from my philosophy book in senior high, and I think this depicts the relationship between reality and art very clearly.

The books Stuart: A Life Backwards and Once in a House on Fire have many similarities both of the books are non-fiction and they share similar themes such as poverty and abuse which I have choose to look at closely with a focus on how these themes are narrated. The narration in the two books are completely different, Stuart: A Life Backwards has a third person narration which is done by Alexander Masters and all the memories are recalled by Stuart Shorter, while Once in a House on Fire is first person narration where Andrea Ashworth recalls her own memories of her life. However, there are differences between the two books for example the language used to tell the stories.

Like Antigone, the Sophocles tragedy on which it is based, Kamila Shamsie’s novel Home Fire ends with an unedifying spectacle. In the novel’s transposition of the events of the ancient Greek play to the present day, Antigone and her sister Ismene become Aneeka and Isma, British-born Pakistani sisters who over the course of the narrative are forced to respond in opposed ways to the treatment of the corpse of their brother Pasha, who is executed while trying to defect from ISIS but is considered a terrorist by the British government in the form of Karamat Lone, the home secretary and the father of Aneeka’s fiancé Eamonn.

“All I ask of that woman is that she leave me alone. But she can’t admit to herself that she makes me sick,” (II.47). This is a quote spoken by Big Daddy concerning his wife, Big Mama. Throughout the play, women become victim to unfair and misogynistic treatment from their husbands. This is mainly evident in Big Mama, Maggie and Mae’s respective relationships. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof displays this casual misogyny in its accurate depiction of how women were treated in that era, through the roles of the female characters and their relationships, as well as the treatment of the female characters.
In conclusion, Wright had successfully break through his vision of destructing a rigid boxy style of 19th century architecture and refined his idea of what a house should look like; to be in a harmony with nature. As been described earlier, with plenty of technical problems, he acknowledged young architects; even a house needs constant attentions (Stungo, N., 1999). Wright’s ideal of bringing human closer to the nature had inspired many architects until today, Wright to his students “Falling water is one of the great blessing to be experienced”. In point of fact, admirers of him never stop praised of his works; Cliff Hickman passionately said “I had never before seen anything so beautiful … Over and over I came back to look at the photograph of Fallingwater, the most illustrious of all Frank Lloyd Wright architectural masterpieces” (Hickman, C., n.d).
Tennessee Williams and Beth Henley both use elements of tragedy in their plays in order to introduce the characters’ problems while also attempting to lighten the mood. Tennessee Williams introduces the conflict along with some humor, but Beth Henley’s use of comedy in a tragic moment makes the situation even more tragic. The humor she introduces in a tragic situation evokes pity from the audience because it seems as though all the sisters can do is laugh at their pain. Williams uses comedy in order to introduce the tragic situation and comedy doesn’t have to be funny in his plays; the way that he introduces tragedy in such a comedic manner allows the audience to relate to the characters. On the other hand, Henley’s way of joining comedy and tragedy in the same moment makes the audience uncomfortable because it confuses their emotions; they don’t know whether to feel pity or not. In this sense, Tennessee Williams does a better job at showing tragedy through the characters’ actions.

The poem begins enigmatically describing “crumbling” (1). The speaker does not indicate what kind of crumbling she is referring to at this point, which allows for a literal interpretation of the stanza. In the first two lines, the speaker reminds the reader that crumbling is a long process that is a basic part of life.
