Lean On Me
.... Another bizarre aspect of the movie is how the director, ---, portrays East Side High. After there is a time change from the 60s to the 80s, East Side transforms from a nice, well-kept, and clean school to a graffiti filled, prison-like, school that resembles an alleyway, not a high school. There are fights in the hallway and the bathrooms every time class lets out. Drug dealers are let in by other students to exchange money and drugs. East Side is portrayed as a rundown and scary – to say the least – .....

Hard work and patience is what Longfellow is calling for in this final l .....

Life Death And Continuous Chan
.... to death running hand and hand with life is the concept of continuous change. Wolverton mentions change and human’s inability to accept it.
I believe that living beings are weary of change because like death it requires entrance into a land of uncertainty. The poem “We Resist Evolution” approaches this ideology of change. Wolverton opens the poem by stating that every living thing resists evolution. She writes about the cell that refuses to split, “the shapeless blind-eyed swimmers who did not long .....

Language In The Aristocrat
.... one's confusion and awe-struck nature.
Language, in terms of both the spoken and written word, has the power to awaken emotions in readers and listeners. For instance, Marguerite mentions that often her mother would refer to Mrs. Flowers with familiar terms such as “sister” (161) in a way that made her want to hide her face in shame. This is an indication that the way her mother used her language to address others was an embarrassment to Marguerite. This is one emotion associated with how ot .....

He should have killed himself last week.” (Page 111) He shows us life in the twentieth century by showing how younger generations are more ignorant to the feelings and well being of others than older generations. This is explained by the quote, ”I am of those who like to stay late at the café.” the older waiter .....

Literary Interpratation Of The

Because of this, the sin that he committed would jeopardize his soul forever. No sane man would do this to an animal that he claimed to love. Again the narrator is not in control of his body and is being controlled by the supernatural and shows signs of mental illness.
Later that night, the narrator is awakened by fire in his house and immediately exited it. All bu .....
