¶ … Swimming Theme
I have always loved swimming. As a matter of fact, I started swimming when I was only 7 years old. At the time, I used to do a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 hours of training during a normal school day. However, during summer, I would routinely do 4 to 6 hours of training each day. In addition to setting me firmly on the path to professional swimming, these training sessions further enhanced my love for the sport. By grade 12, I was already a swimming team captain. This was no mean feat given that there were many other swimmers who, in my humble submission, were up to the task.
Looking back, I have accomplished much within a relatively short period of time. This is more so the case on the professional swimming front. However, it is important to note that it has not been smooth sailing all through. Many are the times I have had to endure challenging times for the love of the sport. From quite an early age, up to the age of about six, I spent most of my time in and out of hospital -- I easily (and often) fell sick. Obviously, this could have had a negative impact on my swimming lessons but somehow, I got better before the commencement...
My getting better was, to me, a timely blessing as it meant I could now pursue that which I had genuine passion for -- swimming. Currently, in addition to being a great swimmer, my health is alright and I also happen to be very energetic.
I also consider myself an all-rounder. In addition to having wide-ranging skills, I also happen to be a people's person. From what I have gathered in the past from those who know me, I am a kindhearted and friendly person. I get along well with others. I have also held quite a number of leadership positions in the past -- something that has further enhanced my confidence and sense of responsibility. In that regard therefore, if given a chance to join your institution, I will be bringing into the said institution more than just my athletic abilities.
In addition to my love for swimming, I also understand the value and need for education. It is a delicate balance that I have managed to strike between the two but I must say I have excelled in both. In addition to being an excellent swimmer, I have also been a top scored in matters academic. This is a trend I desire to further…

This is the perfect way to end this poem. The ending is in fact effective and consistent. The entire time, the duke speaks about how it was to have his wife besides him and how much he did not agree with her behavior. He then makes an insinuation that it was him in fact that had her killed. The ending leaves the reader in a sort of shock. The lines,
Alienation In Stevie Smith's poem "Not Waving but Drowning," a man drowns and no one helps him because they think he is just waving at them. He cries out for help, too, but "nobody heard him," (line 1). Because he loved to joke around, too, no one believed that his moaning meant anything. No one cares enough to take the man seriously. The poem is therefore as much a comment on
Thus, the notion of ruler ship in marriage is actually an orchestrated ideological shift in the hands of Chaucer the writer, as notions of marriage and change from the point-of-view of the miller, the Wife of Bath, to the Franklin.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" to F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" writing styles; James Baldwin's "Sonny's Blues" compare to my own life. Modernism vs. postmodernism Over the course of the late 19th and early 20th century, American literature began to turn inward. Instead of looking to outer manifestations of the human character, American authors began to use interior monologues as a way of creating a narrative arc. Stories such as
