author had initially intended to come across. But with prison poetry, it almost has twice as many meanings, because the symbolism and tones that the poet shapes within their writing, needs to be taken into consideration. In Etheridge Knight’s “For Freckle-Faced Gerald,” Knight uses symbolism in such a tender and raw way to explain the shifting tone and situation that occurs to the innocent

Once upon a time, in a remote village far away, there was a red-haired, freckle faced little boy who loved to play basketball. He was not too tall, he was not too small, he was just the right height to shoot hoops. Everyday he walked miles through the woods, in his old worn out high-tops, to the urban center where there was a basketball court. The older boys always played there. They were tall and had new high-tops that were as brightly colored as candy. The little boy thought they looked like
Rocky had spent the night on a park bench because of his aunts' sensibilities, and he strongly suspects it won't be the last. Freckle comes running down the steps as soon as he hears the screen door slam, stopping short when he sees the slumped shoulders and hat pulled too low. “Rocky?” he asks, voice small and innocent as nine year olds are wont to be. “Heya, Freckle.” He somehow manages to summon a grin. It's a pathetic attempt, a ghost of his normal expression, but it stands between them like

else who slandered Thaddius’ name because he reminded me of myself. He reminded me of everyone. He reminded me of the individual who had fallen because no one was there to help. He couldn’t face or conquer his demons like others could. “I like your freckles.” I blurted, attempting to kill the silence between us. His eyes found my shoes as a half-smile graced his lips.

photoshop. Imagine if designer babies were real. The typical tall, skinny blond would be everywhere. The world would be a giant Barbie factory.

Bill giving up and losing his spirit wasn’t apart
We sat together on the swingset that we were both obviously too big for. I was counting his freckles and he was playing with my curls. I thought he was going to crack a joke or kiss my cheek. “Happy Valentine’s Day. I bought you flowers.” was the best thing he could say to spark a conversation about everything, and then about nothing. Soon “I bought
“There is very little that is new in crime. Similar patterns of behavior will emerge time and time again. People commit the same crimes for the same motives. They get caught because they make the same mistakes, and when arrested they trot out the same excuses. If they get away with it, it is often a matter of luck. I have been able to come up with a few simple rules which should always be observed when one is contemplating murder.” [Linda Crime Notes] The difficulty with committing murder is the

O’Brien has a vague yet vivid memory of throwing a grenade and killing a young Vietnamese soldier in the midst of war and what really struck him was the corpse of the young man. He is dejected because of what he has done, and was even speaking in the third person and constructing fantasies as to what the man must have been like before he was killed. Weaving the story of the young man’s life into something similar as his own. The way O’Brien achieves
