In contrast to this poem in the ... with the relationship being described as a field but he still uses people in the poem to describe the people in the relationship.

Two willow leaves ... the whole poem he uses Enjambment and the poem has a very continuous rhythm he also doesn t use rhyme or assanance which also adds to its story-like quality.

This gives you a dingy, dreary mental image of a bar or pub, which complements the dark tone of the poem, ...

- ... contains 50% of the world's lawyers due to a justice system with so many loopholes that obvious killers have the possibility of being absolved. If O.J. was Cuban I don't think he'd be making millions off his autobiography. Rome would have achieved but a fraction of its greatness were it not for its military strength, which it used to quell rebellions, maintain classism, and intimidate the rest of the world. Although freedom is highly beneficial to the individual, history shows that the sword is mightier than the pen. It would be nice to believe that one day we could belong to a Utopian society in which humans had absolutely no need to fight one another, but I might as well wish to live forever for the likelihood of its occurrence. I have ... and battery. Lastly, I presented the fact that ferociousness is the easiest and fastest means with which to solve a problem. Power, dominance, luxury, and even perhaps knowledge are best attained through violence. Until the day that humans become devoid of emotion, we will always possess a need to fight.

He'd then regained his senses and was swimming downstream. But then someone started shooting at him, each bullet hitting the water closer to him with each shot. After he'd swam away from the shooting and made it to shore, Farquhar ran to his home. But soon he started walking and slowly fell asleep. He was dreaming while he was walking, thinking it was just ... had thought of it before.
