Death of a Salesman is a play that has been produced in numerous countries around the world.

Death of a Salesman provides a perfect example about how lying and working too much can destroy a family. The main character, Willy Loman, has all the wrong priorities.

This poem portrays a sunrise which symbolizes a new day. It talks about a child not being afraid. I interpret this to mean do not fear the future, embrace it. Each day is a gift and do not fear what each new day may bring.

The first time I read this poem I pictured a young girl dancing with her grandfather. However, after reading it again I realized it is more like a young boy fighting, or being abused, by his father. The following lines lead me to this conclusion.

"We romped until the pans

Slid from the kitchen shelf;..."

"The hand that held my wrist

Was battered on one knuckle;

At every step you missed

My right ear scraped a buckle."

The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner By: Randall Jarrell

# data[].attributes.body
This poem by Randall Jarrell is about a soldier who died at war. A gunner in the military who is in a plane, heliocopter. or even on the ground. Due to the content of this poem, I drew the conclusion that it was a gunner in a plane that was shot down and he died due to the gunfire.
The tone of this poem is very menacing. The tone contributes to the effect it has on a reader.

This poem is about the coming of spring and the joys it brings. It also brings forth the image of children playing and of a merry man selling balloons to passersby.

When the poem compares the world to a puddle, I believe it is talking about the snow of winter melting and revealing the new life of spring.

This poem lists 26 names and it goes in alphabetical order. The tone of this poem is very sullen and depressing. It makes me think that this poem has a deeper meaning, such as a terrible disaster, and those 26 names are the names of victims.

Funeral Blues captures the pain of the narrator. The narrator has lost someone who was very dear to them. This person was everything to the narrator. Auden portrays how the stars and the moon used to be such a beautiful sight, but with the absence of this person, the stars and the moon has lost all beauty. Not only does Auden talk about the stars and moon but he also talks about the ocean and the sun. These are all things that would bring happiness and peace to a heart. However, with the narrator's heart being empty, these things have lost all appeal.

Introduction to Poetry By: Billy Collins

The poem suggests that the purpose to reading poetry is to have to dig deep to find the meaning of a poem. Collins uses simple words in this poem to allow his audience to easily decipher the purpose of the poem. Collins wants his audience to realize that they cannot always "beat" a meaning out of a poem. Sometimes they have to take the journey slowly, and they have work to decipher the meaning of a poem.

The narrator's father is a man who works very hard despite the lack of appreciation. The actions of the father makes me believe that the narrator does not have a mother, whether she has died or she is divorced.

The narrator of this poem is in love with this duchess. However, she does not feel quite the same way about him. She treats all men like she treats the narrator. This upsets the narrator, but he still admires the woman.

I enjoyed the symbolism in this short story. The heritage and the legacy that can be carried in a quilt is magnificent. Dee does not understand her and it creates tension in the family.

The little boy in this story has a god given talent of being able to guess the winner of horse races.

I hated the ending to this story. The stress the little boy is under because of money kills him. No one that young should have to worry that much about money

This story took me several tries to understand it completely.

It was I think the third time I read it that I started to pick up on the foreshadowing taking place early in the story. An example of this would be the little boys making piles of rocks.

On a side note, I found myself wondering if our society could succumb to something of this nature.

I love the attitude that Pheonix Jackson has. Especially when the hunter offers help to her. Miss Jackson is independent and determined. I like that.

This poem really spoke to me. I was bullied for similar things. I know what it can be like. The girl is intelligent, but her peers don't recognize intelligence as a thing of beauty.

I am fond of the following lines for the way the reader sees a momentary change in Henry...

"That car's a classic! But you went and ran the piss right put of it, Lyman, and you know it don't deserve that. I kept that car in A-one shape."

The following line from the story makes me feel sorry for Lieutenant Cross...

"He had loved Martha more than his men, and as a consequence Lavender was now dead, and this was something he would have to carry like a stone in his stomach for the rest of the war."

This story reminds me of, "All the World's a Play" by William Shakespeare.

Miss Brill is describing how she sees everyone around her as if they were in a play every Sunday.

This is my favorite line from the story...

These noises converged in a single sensation of life for me: I imagined that I bore my chalice safely through a throng of foes.

Love Kills Slowly by Freddie Mercury

This story makes me think of this song!

Lyrics: Love don't give no compensation, love don't pay no bills Love don't give no indication, love just won't stand still Love kills, drills you through your heart Love kills, scars you from the start It's just a living pastime, ruining your heartline Stays for a lifetime, won't let you
