• No Poem Is An Island
  “[L]iterary work is not a closed system”, it is part of a pre-existing conversation present within society (Sider 331). The poetics of romance and sensibility seem particularly concerned with reader involvement. This idea is exemplified in Keats’ poem, “Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil”. Neither the poet nor the reader is an uninvolved observer, in “Isabella”, merely there to watch the tale of Isabel and Lorenzo’s unrequited love unfold. Throughout “Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil” Keats elici...

• cherry
  The deconstruction of the conventions of the theatre in Anton Chekhovs The Cherry Orchard predicts the more radical obliteration presented later by Pirandello in Six Characters in Search of an Author. The seed of this attack on convention by Chekhov are the inherent flaws of all the characters in The Cherry Orchard. The lack of any character with which to identify or understand creates a portrait much closer to reality than the staged drama of Ibsen or other playwrights who came before. In recog...

• Clear Lake
  Clear Lake Sabra I looked ahead of myself, letting my feet do the work, for a moment. The trail seemed so distant and lengthy in front of me. The blue sky filled with scattered puffy, white like cotton clouds. The long grasses tickled at my legs, which were covered with nothing more than my shorts. My boyfriend and I were on our annual hike to Clear Lake. An obviously attractive name for a beautiful body of water. Clear Lake was an icy cold from the glacier run off but after a 2 day hike up ...

Although it’s a pity you could not come with me, because the fact is that I had a spectacular holiday. There was a variety of choices on where to go, b...

• Wounded
  Wounded Dani Elle We hear about gruesome things all the time. We are sympathetic for the people they happen to but then we shrug it off and move on. No one ever stops to think that those gruesome things could one day happen to us. I know I never did. I was molested by my grandfather when I was about eleven. I can honestly say I don't remember my exact age or the date for that matter because I tried to block the whole incident out of my head. That wasn't an easy task. I felt like anyone who lo...
• Revenge At Its Sweetest
