Gina Meyers and Jill McDonough both illustrate a lack of control within the poems “Hold it Down” and “Accident, Mass. Ave.”. “Hold it Down” by Gina Meyers describes a long narrative of the problem, a lack of control, impossibilities and frustration in everyday life, while “Accident, Mass. Ave.” presents a narrative of a problem, a moment of loss of control, aggression and frustration in a single moment that happen on a specific day. Similarly the poems are long and include long enjambed lines disturbed
When it was still of help to wish for a thing and during a harsh winter a queen in her palace was sewing and daydreaming. Suddenly, she pricked one of her fingers with a needle, and blood drops fell. She contemplated the magnificent contrast between the nature, which stood over against her, and longed, "If only I was granted my wish, and I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as the wood of my window.” This Queen was deeply in love with the King, but there was a great sadness

Marvel’s poem to “His Coy Mistress” with its carpe diem theme is cleverly quoted in Hemingway’s novel “A Farewell to Arms”. The theme of seduction and living in the moment is apparent through several characters in the novel.

And war and violence force the mentality to live in the moment. The carpe diem theme

My definition of tamales are pockets of corn meal stuffed with pork and seasonings created by Jesus for me and you! Wikipedia describes them as "a traditional Mesoamerican dish made of masa

Runner's High Many runners have had the opportunity to experience a state of euphoria while running. While the actual state that they feel varies immensely for each individual there is a common feeling associated with the term "runner's high".

This in fact may not be true for only runners though. Skiers, surfers, football players and wrestlers all

Significant here is the tone in which these options are deliveredit might be considered the rhetorical voice of society, a playful exposition of the pressure placed on individuals to make the "correct" choices, to conform to expectation.

This is the other part of the story, the one no one asks about or knows about. It’s the part of the story my parents never wanted to hear about. The part of the story that turned me into what I became. I was one of those girls who developed at a faster rate than the others. By the time I was a freshman my bra size was a 36C.
