Fame is a fickle food

Since the start of the poem we can see that the author has compared fame with a kind of food that is in constant change due to several factors. That's her way to tell that the same happens with fame. At first it brings everything you wish but then it can end up ruining your life. You're always in the public eye and people, especially the envious ones will always have something negative to say, just to ruin your fame and career. Practically, the crows represent these people in Dickinson's poem and these people are so caught up on a person's fame that spend their lives looking up to him and symbolically "die". 

Inspirational speech!!

My opinion about: AIN'T I A’WOMEN? Poem by Sojourner Truth

AIN'T I A WOMEN?

  My opinion about: AIN'T I A’WOMEN? Poem by Sojourner Truth

I like this poem because it shows the story of how women have been discriminated. This story was born that with EVA who has eat the wrong apple and for this reason it was trimmed that women have no logic. Then when she spoke about Maria who had born Jesus, but she was virgin, so women should be virgin. This poem includes many other elements which describe how women and slave has no rights. She had brought the painful story that a woman had 13 children and 13 children were taken as slaves.

Without women the world would not have existed because women have a very important role in this world, we cannot live without: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...
