My Hero's Death: A Poem Analysis
We killed them
We slayed them
In the egde of the woods
We displayed them

We stabbed their eyes
We disgraced them
With tools and hands
We defaced them

We degraded them
We attacked them
In photos and cameras
We embraced them
We slashed them

We poked them
On their insides
We explored them
We smashed them

We smiled
We chuckled
Amused and laughing
We smiled

Still breathing
Still living
We gashed them
Delightful!
Morality is alive
In the eyes of the Sublime
Who are free of
Hammers and Screws

Morality is wild
In the eyes of a Child
Where Innocence
Thrives and Dies

First, it can generally refer to all bivalve molluscs. In the more limited sense, the term refers to the large subset of bivalves living as infauna, rather than those attached to a substrate (like oysters and mussels) or those that lie and move near the bottom or swim (like scallops). It can also refer to one or more kinds of commonly consumed marine bivalves, such as in the phrase clam chowder, which refers to shellfish soup. Many edible clams are roughly oval-shaped or triangular; however, razor clams have an elongated, parallel-sided shell, suggesting an old-fashioned straight

    The wounded heart now enormous tune of sorrow, Skunk breath a force to linger tomorrow. Saint unreal a body-less per poster, Bound by force that will never divide as greater. Benevolent a flaunt of no remorse, Unmistakable tone unruly of course. Patch up the hole in your britches; water new soil, Be thankful thieves ravishes in turmoil.…

    In this lab, my partner Kylie and I will be examining the internal and external features of the clam. “Like all mollusks, a clam has a mantle which surrounds its soft body. It also has a muscular foot which enables the clam to burrow itself in mud or sand” (Miller and Levine). Clams are mollusks with two valves also nickname the bivalves. Clams are mostly marine animals however; the clams we will dissect are freshwater clams. Adult clams have bilateral symmetry but when they are larva clams have radial symmetry. A clam has complete digestion and has open circulation.…

    A.E. Housman’s emotional poem, “To an Athlete Dying Young,” appears to present a solemn farewell to any young athlete who dies young in the modern age. The speaker seems to be giving his last goodbye to the town athlete whether they are the star or the benchwarmer of the team it allows the reader to feel more attached to this character that the speaker is painting. Housman carefully crafts a depressing yet loving final goodbye to all the athletes or stars of the world that die young, and then shows briefly how life is after they’re gone.…

This poem includes a powerful message on human rights violation, specifically LGBT rights considering that Matthew Shepard was killed because of the fact that he was homophobic. October Mourning: The Fence by Leslea Newman explores a theme about being considerate about the vulnerability of the meek and is supported by different literary devices, such as symbolism and similes.…

    Everyone is dead. It happened in a moment, one small minute has altered my life.

    The accusation process of a crime is often very tedious and at times misleading, but with careful analyzation the true culprit can be revealed. Such an instance occurs in Gabriel García Márquez's journalistic novel, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, in which Santiago Nasar is indicted of having been the individual responsible for deflowering Angela Vicario prior to her arranged marriage to Bayardo San Roman. This accusation, which is initially stated by Angela Vicario herself, causes a chain of events which ultimately result in the murder of Santiago Nasar by Pedro and Pablo Vicario, Angela’s brothers. Through their actions, the twins act for honor with the intention of freeing their sister of her dishonorable past. After the murder, many townspeople…

    Throughout this semester I’ve read a lot of poems and short stories. Some were very graphic in a sense that while reading them I felt like I was within the poem or short stories and some even helped me to understand different point of views including my own life. For example, “Suicide Note” written by Janice Mirikitani helped me to understand more of another’s personal life and what they’re going through. As for my own life, “Dusting” written by Julia Alvarez helped me to better understand what I’m going through.…
