Killer Angels, written by Michael Shaara, takes place in Gettysburg in the year of 1863. Prohibiting slavery in the states that did not yet become states triggered the start of the Civil War. Fort Sumter in Charleston Bay was where the war was triggered by the Confederate Army opening fire on the federal garrison and forced it to surrender. For three long years, Robert E.

...saying that marriage is a gamble, and that women risk failure by becoming married. Laux speaks to the women with the idyllic views of matrimony and she may be trying to issue a warning to them, or to teach them a lesson about how she feels. This is important to the narrator especially as she repeats the word “again” in the question she asks at the end of the poem. The juxtaposition of the free bird to the housewife constricted to a cluttered room is an important image and helps the reader see the differences between the two. Laux’s metaphor for the female condition is made clear by the end of the poem and is an attempt to make the reader question what the narrator has that women all over the world are so eager to partake in.

The nation and people were separated and each man fought for what they believed to be right for them. Whether the men sided with the north or south it really did not matter. Whether they believed slavery should be abolished or not, it was not too prevalent in this book. Some men fought for themselves, for their families, to protect their land, and some because it was the morally right and loyal thing to do. Whatever reasons the soldiers decided to fight that day and days subsequently, I am sure they could not have dreamed of the legacy that their heroism and bravery that The Battle of Gettysburg has left in American History. With over 50,000 casualties occurred that occurred over three days of aggressive fighting, the battle was vital turning point in the civil war.
In the essay “The Three Father Figures In Tian Zhuangzhuang’s Film The Blue Kite: The Emasculation of Males by the Communist Party”, Hanna Nielsen describes how men were stripped of their power by the Communist party, at least as depicted by The Blue Kite. “They are all incapable of fulfilling the traditional role of the father because this role is usurped by the Party to which their lives will be ultimately forfeit.” (Nielsen 84) “They” being the three fathers the main character loses over the course of the film, which according to Nielsen are replaced by the party. However, in focusing almost entirely on the men of the story, both Nielsen and the film are guilty of ignoring the women in the story. Similar to Nielsen’s point about emasculating men, I would argue that The Blue Kite also presents a narrative of women being defeminized as the party disrupts the traditional workings of the home.

And from then on Booker was my man.”
John Updike’s poem “The Great Scarf of Birds” expresses the varying emotions the narrator experiences as he witnesses certain events from nature. His narration of the birds throughout the poem acts as numerous forms of imagery and symbolism concerning him and his life, and this becomes a recollection of the varying emotional stances he comes to terms with that he has experienced in his life. These changes are so gradually and powerfully expressed because of a fluent use of diction and figurative language, specifically symbolism and simile, and aided by organization.
The character I'm analyzing is Pelayo and the analytical method I'm implementing is the psychoanalytical lens. I enjoyed reading Pelayos story because he had such a mysterious atmosphere.

However, I will analyze Pelayos fatherly and kind characteristics.
