My text is from the lyrics of a song written by a band called "unwritten law" which falls into the punk rock genre. The song is called "cailin" which is written by the main singer Scott. The song compromises the bands normal style of play by using a softer more melodic, slow paced style of music instead of their regular high energy power-pop style which makes it stand out further in their self titled album "unwritten law". The text is about the changes the lead singer experienced when he had his child. The song describes the empty feelings he possessed before the child came to his life, an...

The poem "Wind" by Ted Hughes is a free verse following a quatrain pattern. It has a direct title which gives some idea of what the poem is going to talk about. The basic idea of the poem is a description of a storm by the narrator who is stuck in house during the fierce storm.

A superficial reading of this memoir concludes that the work is beautifully, emotionally, and honestly written; even so, Didion's hollow tone in the memoir and the ornate and subdued dictions make the work looks ra...
