The darkness is slowly scaring me making me feel overwhelmed. I can’t see anything. I feel suffocated and musty with all these boxes stocked next to me and on top of me. I’ve been here for so long and I feel so hopeless and useless. Then suddenly a bright light shines on me and I finally feel free from this very comfortless home. I wish someone would open this lid on top of me so I can breath in fresh air. But here I am staying strong and just patiently waiting. Then suddenly, I am lifted, opened, and place on top of a flat surface. I feel so nervous. I am hearing human voices. My wish is granted. It is my time, and I am free! My thoughts are running, I wonder if I am extremely weary and depleted, but my spirit is still strong. I feel so accomplished that although I was beaten up and left like this, I’ve completed my main task to protect my owner, and at the same time make him look good and keep him safe. As my owner takes me off, I feel so much air coming inside, I can breath better, he picks me up and wipes me with a cold wet cloth. He puts me back in where I belong .The box is closed, and darkness once again overtakes me. Even though I am unaware of when the next time I will step on the ground, hopefully soon, what I do know is that, I’ve completed my main task. And instead of being in a dark room suffocated with other boxes, I am home, waiting for another

The item I have chosen to write about is a lacrosse stick. It is a piece of sports equipment that is made up of a shaft, head, and mesh. When I first look at it I see a metal shaft that looks like it weighs a lot, but when I pick it up it barely weighs 9 ounces. Its hexagonal shape indicates that it’s meant to be held by hand, which is better than a full circular shaft, which is harder to grip. It also has a patented sand blasted friction finish, which would help the user hold onto the stick easier…
prisoners cast the shadow of objects that pass it, upon the wall in front of the prisoners. However the fire is so high that the only shadows it can cast is of the inanimate objects that the traders that pass through the cave carry upon their heads. This is symbolism for the false reality that is told to our public. For we, as readers, see the larger picture of what is really taking place but as a prisoner that cannot possibly know any better, these inanimate objects are what the world is, and so…
Poetic Devices Simile: Comparison using 'like' or 'as' Personification: Giving human-like attributes to inanimate objects. Imagery: The author uses word to create an image that appeals to senses. Cacophony: Hard-sounding words. Allegory: The author delivers a message to the audience. A story that is meant to teach you something, the one that has an underlying much deeper than the surface message that is given. Analogy: Another word for similar Iambic Pentameter: Words that sound pleasing to the…

laws and the difference between the two. According to King an unjust law degrades the human personality, taking away our rightful human qualities that differentiates us from inanimate objects or things. Just laws are laws that show respect and recognition for a person, entitling us to not be treated like an inanimate object. Laws that are unjust, according to King, should be broken in a very obvious and civil manner to prove to the world that it is morally wrong; and segregation is one of those laws…
poems begin in similar ways as well; using the poetic literary device of a caesura after the main subject of the poem is announced in the first two words. This intended pause after “Bright star” and “Cascading stream” enhances the indication that the object is being addressed. Another key feature of a Shakespearian sonnet is that it is written in iambic pentameter. The word pentameter indicates that this rhythm consists of five iambs. An iamb is a foot of a unstressed then stressed syllable. An example…
“The Fountain”- Explication In Sara Teasdale’s poem, “The Fountain,” shows how one can never truly be free because of the perpetual expectations and boundaries surrounding them. The speaker addresses an inanimate object, the fountain, by questioning its desire for freedom which the fountain then responds, presenting the speaker with a deep realization. At the start of the ballad, the speaker begins apostrophizing the fountain and inquiring on how it conforms to “singing..alone.” These devices…
