I been researching and thinking a lot, trying to understand (or at least accept) the different points of view existing around “The veil”. After all the reading, I got a feeling of frustration and despair, thinking that there’s no way veiled women can be left alone and just be be women, veiled or not. I was asked to argument an argument, and this task has been proved to be extremely difficult to

The Victorian Age (1837-1901) is characterized as a period of time where many artists, including poets, tried to bring to light the people that were being mistreated and swept under the rug. In this particular time (The Victorian Age) these mistreated people were mainly women, minorities, the poor, and prisoners. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) and Charles Dickens (1812-1870) were influence

The Vietnam War was unlike anything that the United States had ever been involved in before. Many were unsure what exactly this war was all about.

The poem ‘The Voice’ is written in first person where the poet himself is the speaker and as hinted from the very first word of the first line, he is addressing a woman. The first line of the poem indicates that he has written the poem with the sense of missing someone – the woman he addresses. Connecting the phrase ‘call to me, call to me’ (line 1) to the title of the poem, we can expect the poet

like Evan Boland's poetry because of her ideas of violence and inhumanity. Also I think she expresses her own ideas and private life through the myths like in 'Pomegranate'.

I enjoy her poems because I think they bear messages that are imp

The War of 1812 has been referred to as the second American war of independence from Great Britain. While the United States failed in its main goals for this war, the War of 1812 did legitimate the nationhood of the growing United States, and it gained the country new respect from other nations. The status of America as independent from Great Britain was confirmed by this war, and after the war Am

Pictures are mementos of our lives that reflect many different events, ideas and stages of life.

Kyle Ahlmann Monday/Wednesday The War Tapes Everyone has his or her preconceived notion of what its like to be a solider in the US Army. In my opinion this film has the ability to alter that perception. The movie was made in 2006 and is told entirely though the eyes of the solders fighting in Iraq.
