    This week, our class had the chance to read four interesting poems of Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey, We Real Cool, Mad Girl’s Love Song, and Hanging Fire. Each of these poems highlight the important role that imagery and other poetic devices play into an interpretation of a poem and how crucial it is to understand the perceptive of a poem’s speaker. The poem I enjoyed the most this week was Hanging Fire by Audre Lorde. On the surface, Hanging Fire is about a 14 year-old who struggles with typical adolescent things such as bad skin, boy problems, school dances, and braces. However, once we re-read the poem and took the time to analysis it, it because quite clear that teenaged problems are not the only things troubling the speaker.…

    Poets express their concerns about the Nazis and Jews through the use of poetic devices in order to create a response in the reader. The poets, Lily Brett and Trish McCallister, crafted these poems to express the poor living conditions, the barbaric nature of the Nazis and the suffering Jews inside the camps. Through the use of poetic devices such as imagery, irony, repetition, personification and onomatopoeia, both poets are able to portray their concerns to the reader about the Holocaust. Through the use of poetic techniques, the reader is left feeling antagonised and empathetic.…

    R As a person in the world we call home, that we see as an extraordinary yet cruel planet, questions constantly are asked about our own human race around us why they do what they do; with knowledge the answers can come as close as we allow them to. When I take my time to look at my family or, other people 's family anywhere I take place not only do I recognize a body structure with fascinating features created but, I also very much so take my deepest effort to see what lies inside beyond that form. Hannah Senesh and, Elie Wiesel are enlightening, willing fighters who bring about answers, they give ourselves reason of how just one person can touch your heart with unbelievable stories. Throughout their lives they took on internal and external…

    The misrepresentation of expression shown through Linda’s character leaves Audre to think that life is easy and achievable but rather, the alienation her mother feels in society leaves a deep hole in Audre’s years to come. In one experience, Audre wanted to be class president (when she was seven), but her mother found the idea unsettling since she knew no one would vote for her, and although Linda was black, “she was quite light enough to pass for white”, though “her children weren’t” (Lorde, 17). The reality of being a different race ends with the failure of trying to accomplish what most can. As a child, Lorde grew up oblivious of what it meant to be coloured in America. Racism went unacknowledged in her family.…

    The category of “women” used in a feminist context is rejected by Butler because it creates ground for over generalization, and thus, would misrepresent individuals of that category that leads to the public’s misinterpretation of them in turn. The language and wording used in which to supposedly unify a group of people with similar characteristics turn out to generate resistance and factionalization. The term “women” could hold certain meanings and be understood as something different at face value. As demonstrated in the early 1980s, the usage of “we” to group all women together created a backlash because women of colour did not identify with the term and did not find it suitable to be used to represent them. Since they believed that the term could only relate to white females, they were in…

    Biomythography as a genre of writing that mixes elements of the autobiography and mythology. In "Zami: A New Spelling of My Name", Lorde describes her personal life while mixing in her own perceptions and fantasies, ultimately creating a blurry line between truth and reality. This concept is highlighted on page 18 of the text, "If you can't change reality change your perceptions of it." This genre enables Lorde to infuse poetic and imaginative elements into her writing, creating something more than just a life narrative. It is less formal than the traditional…

    In this reading, Lorde explained that we live in a capitalist economic state which enables women to allow differences to divide them. She argues that because we live in a profit economy, it has become common practice to ignore each other’s differences out of fear. Lorde also explains that race, age, and sex are not what rule America, that proceeds supersedes all of those factors and that sexual and racial differences are not what divide us, but that sexism and racism do because they are built upon an inequity of power. She explained how racism and, sexism intersect, “racism, the belief in the inherent superiority of one race over all others and thereby the right to dominance. Sexism, the belief in the inherent superiority of one sex over the other and thereby the right to dominance” and challenged us not to allow fear to isolate us, but to empower us so that we can transform society’s perceptions of…

    ….. Many think poems or books written by the opposite race or sex have no relation; usually, blacks don't have the same struggles, aspirations, and views on life's events as whites. While that has some level of accuracy applied to it, various poems written by both races have occurrences within them that relate to each other. So even if the poems sound completely different sometimes they are more alike than noted. The poems “Women” by Alice Walker and ‘The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost are perfect examples of poems written by the opposite gender and sex that appear to have nothing in common.…

    However, she finds out the reason that black people were not allowed to eat in the dining car. This shows that how everyone did not had the right to the freedom and they were seeking for their equal right. A person like Audre Lorde feels excluded from the people around her because of their race. Also, because the rules of the government differentiate African-American and white people. This clearly states that black people won’t have the positive feelings for the nation and might not feel proud on the independence…

    Lorde said “If white American feminist theory need not deal with the differences between us, and the resulting difference in our oppressions, then how do you deal with the fact that women who clean your houses and tend to your children while you attend conferences on feminist theory, for the most part, poor women and women of color? What is the theory behind racist feminism?” (Lorde…

    A common theme in Audre Lorde’s “Zami: A New Spelling of My Name” is the idea of intersectionality and how these different categories make up a person’s identity. Lorde has many different identities that make her a whole. She has a hard time separating these things within her, because she is never just Black, or just a women, or just a lesbian. However, she is often forced to pick between her identities and is rarely allowed or comfortable enough expressing all three. Therefore, she quite often has to choose a part of herself to repress in front of others in order to be accepted as part of the group.…
