It is here that the importance of what home is, truly comes out. Home is the one place that seems to be the safe haven regardless of the adventures that one chooses to partake in. It is welcoming, safe, secure, and always present. Despite the many twists and turns that may be taken by someone, it is at home that one can always go back to without the fear of being judged.
The collage would be designed as follows:
Cut out from felt fabric, the center of the collage would be a house. The house itself would be a red square with little yellow squares for windows and a gray triangular roof top. The particular fabric chosen is to represent the warm, fuzzy feeling that is felt when going back to the one place that will always take you. There would be a black string circling the house itself to represent it being in a bubble, a safe place. Outside of the circle, there will be a variety if things going on. Cut out from magazines and newspapers, there would be different pictures of roads, streets, and simple landscapes to showcase the different routes taken in life and the adventures that has been had. All these pictures however would be cut rigidly to present the picture that not all the adventures have been pleasant. Pictures of clocks would be surrounding the outskirts of the "bubble" in which the home is enclosed in, to signify the passage of time, and the past. The clocks themselves are going to be cut out from magazines, hand-drawn with the different writing utensils such as pens, multi-colored pencils, different colored markers, and crayons. Each different writing utensil can be seen as the different stages in life. The chaotic arrangement that will become of all of the materials will be a direct contrast to the circle in the center with the felt-fabric house which will stand out and be the first thing that will catch a person's attention. The collage will clearly show that home will be the place to go to in order to find clarity and peace.

There is no other person that could be deemed more special, no other person for which one feels more attached to. A mother is the person that can be viewed as being the creator of all involved in one's life. If it wasn't for an individual's mother, one would not have direction in life, and there would not be guidance. As I was thinking about who to write, I found it difficult to find just one person that would be considered influential, or important enough to base a poem on. But when it came down to making an actual decision, the first person that made me feel that they had the most influence in life, was a person's mother. Having that special attachment makes writing a poem about one's mom, that much more special. This could also be a fictional character, but regardless of how this person is described, the mention of one's mother brings warmth and comfort, and it is this that is most appealing about the poem.
American Literature Early American Literature Comparison American literature is truly a literature of change. As the nation became independent of England, this new independence reflected in the ideals and philosophies of writers. Whereas early American literature was dominated by puritan forms, which contemplated the power of God and often were written copies of sermons or journals used by puritans, some stories still arose. These stories, filled with ideas of sin and repentance
African-American Literature -- Compare and Contrast The two stories selected for this first comparison, Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs and the short letter from Jourdon Anderson, "To My Old Master," are both extremely touching, honest, enlightening and historically precious pieces of literature. To begin with, Anderson's letter to Colonel P.H. Anderson reveals a number of key things about the life of a male slave during
" The crumb evidently symbolizes the feeding of hope. The author thus hints that she does not feed her hopes, emphasizing thus her pessimism. In another poem, a Bird Came down the Walk, the protagonist is a real bird. This time, Dickinson does not use the figure of the bird allegorically but rather as a symbol: the bird descends and kills a worm without being aware that somebody is watching
" Discrimination was either in the form of cruelty or just plain sympathy, which was worse since it seemed that there was a consensus in the society that to be in relations with a colored individual would result to a disadvantaged life. Robert Frost is a modern poet in the sense that he tackled themes that centered on individualism and self-improvement, two important life principles that prevailed and dominated society as
The Evolution of American Identity Through Literature The diversity within the American experience, and as well within the canon of American literature, precludes the possibility of singling out two or even ten of the novels, poems, or short stories that best encapsulate what it means to be American. From the colonial and early national era and the fledgling formation of national identity through the struggles of emancipation from slavery and transcendentalism,
Humor in Literature American literature is unique in that the attitudes of the works tend to reflect the spirit of the nation and of her citizens. One of the trademarks of American literature is that authors display a tone that can be very serious, but that also can be interpreted as humorous. Whereas texts from other cultures are usually more concerned with message and in presenting that message in a dry,
