Daddy by Sylvia Plath Sylvia Plat is a poet who is well recognized for writing “Daddy,” one of the most controversial holocaust poems.  Nonetheless, some section of the controversy over her poem daddy is somewhat demographic.  Sylvia is an American who is not connected to the holocaust autobiographically. Her father was a German but had nothing to do with the Nazis. In her poem, Sylvia has generally used holocaust and some genocidal activities against the Jewish people as an allegorical megaphone. By using similes in one of the stanzas like “Cuffing me off like a Jew.. to Auschwitz, Belsen, Dachau” add details to her psychological atrocities with her father (Ladin, 2006).  It is common for non-Jewish poets to characterize the holocaust. Still, her case is quite outstanding because she has used it to minimize the orderly assassination of millions to express her confessions.  The inclusion of the holocaust depicts how some of its terms have been integrated into everyday communication.  It also recognizes the conflict between the rhetorical type and the contents of the holocaust.  Concerning the big picture of…

comparing and contrasting Frost and Cather’s perspective on human mortality In many instances, people are filled with dilemmas. They are unable to decide what to do. Life is a mystery with many hurdles. At times, good and bad things happen to individuals. Some people tend to remain melancholic while others work their way out. Such an attitude is very crucial. However, one gets to have many questions about what shall happen after their demise. As Frost indicates in his poems, death is an event that brings human existence into an end. A dead person has no use to the living. However, Cather asserts that the dead are never forgotten from the living. This is because the memories we create in our lives remain impacted by the living. She holds that people should embrace the instinct of affection in making friendship. Despite their diverging views, both poets bring out the point that people have choices to make in their lifetime because death is a mystery no one can fathom. This paper focuses on comparing and contrasting Frost and Cather’s perspective on…

From the very onset, the audience can deduce that the presence of Li Po is filled with frustration and loneliness. “A cup of wine, under the flowering trees; I drink alone, for no friend, is near.” The moments described in these lines must have been those when the speaker felt the solitude and loneliness of his life. However, it can also be deduced that isolation and solitude are self-inflicted. The poem also illuminates some aspects of Li Po’s life, mostly as a lover of wine. There is a period of his life when he went to parties and met celebrities, living in a carefree world. Such an aspect of his life can also be connected with his love for wine and being a heavy drinker (Li and Waley 98). Analysis of the Poem There is a lot of figurative languages used in the poem.

Influence impact on leadership Influence is a fundamental element for the functioning of any society. It may be unnecessary but needed for overall growth. Influence, in essence, is the ability of a person to affect behavior change in another individual or a group. Impact is what makes a good leader. The interpersonal factors of an individual much determine the influence to be received. The beliefs and attitudes of an individual also, in a big way, affect the influence process and the feedback the receivers of individuals will receive(Dubrin, 2013). Most times, leaders use their power to influence power. Influence may come from the vision the leader has, if their content is inspiring and their values and attitudes. Nelson Mandela used his education and belief in the freedom of Africans from the apartheid regime to lead his people to freedom. He was educated and understood the way of the white person but was still deeply rooted in his African culture to achieve independence. People of South Africa were attracted to his vision of liberty while maintaining his lifestyle and joined in…

The Study of Persuasion As we go through our day-to-day lives, it would be untrue to say that we do not lie at least once in a day. Even as we employ tactics of persuasion to get what we want or convince someone to agree with a particular viewpoint, lying may be inevitable. However, lying may be exhausting since it may need you to come up with more and more lies to back the initial lie. A lie may get out eventually and cause irreparable damage. On the other hand, lying in some circumstances can be considered acceptable or even necessary. For instance, Blanton, the founder of the Radical Honesty movement, gives the example of lying to a Nazi if you had Anne Frank hiding in your attic. It is a necessary lie to save someone’s life. I agree with the views expressed in the article “The last word: Nothing but the truth” and would use it in my life. Being honest can enrich many of our relationships. When used wisely, it helps better how we communicate, and consequently lets…
