The Next Line

Marge Piercy’s “The Secretary Chant” begins the poem by describing different parts of her body as office supplies. In line one she states that “My hips are a desk.” In line two and three she says “From my ears hang/ chains of paper clips.”(2) In line four she also continues with “Rubber bands form my hair.”(3) I feel like Piercy’s goal by starting off the poem in this way, was to help emphasize the speakers frustrations toward her job right away. I also feel that by comparing the speakers body

increases on the sixth line with the words “The barrage roars and lifts”. the onomotopoeia “roars” suggests sudden movement, action, maybe even disarray, and this quickens and intensifies the poem, finally instigating action. The verbs lift further adds to this effect. Line six continues onto seven and eight with the illiterative words “Then clumsily bowed with bombs and guns and shovels and battle gear, men jostle and climb to, meet the bristling fire.” I find that these short few lines are filled with

even though one would imagine that she is still the same person, which gives the impression that something drastic has changed. The first line lands with a punch. The bold statement of her name- «yo me era mora Moraima« - identifies the protagonist and throws the listener in. The yo is emphatic, as is the last positioning of Moraima, and together they frame the line to deliver impact.

Duc Tran ENGL 111 10/7/2015 Rite of Passage (1983) – Sharon Olds As the guests arrive at my son 's party they gather in the living room-- short men, men in first grade with smooth jaws and chins. Hands in pockets, they stand around jostling, jockeying for place, small fights breaking out and calming. One says to another How old are you? Six. I 'm seven. So? They eye each other, seeing themselves tiny in the other 's pupils. They clear their throats a lot, a room of small bankers, they fold

“Ticking, ticking” in the next line shows that his mother’s comments are driving him closer to the breaking point (Lines 9-11). His mother’s voice in his head then says, “Grow up straight and true blue/run along to bed,” this introduces the possibility that the young man may be homosexual and that his mother, and possibly his father, showed her disapproval (12-13). The idiom “true blue” means to be loyal to someone’s ideas or cause which could reference to religious ideology (Lines 12-13). Perhaps this

Tormented rock star badboy, what more do you want? Ryker had a past that he blamed himself for, so he never let himself get close to a woman he would care for. He doesn’t feel worthy to be loved by a good woman like Faith. Instead of treating Faith like the queen that she is, he pushes her buttons in the worst way he possibly can. He treats her like trash he is, parades his conquest all around her and breaks her heart over and over again. Faith is a good girl and have been pinning for Ryker for

square, make a reference line approximately 1/16” from one end of the block. Next draw 3 separate vertical lines on the block, the first one being ½” from the reference line, the next being 1” from the reference line, and the last being 1 5/8” from the reference line. The next vertical line will be made 2 ¾” from the reference line, symbolizing the length of the base. The next three lines will be horizontal, using the top of the base as a reference line. The first horizontal line will be ¼” from the top

These characteristics include line quality, word and margin spacing, continuity of words, ratio of uppercase to lowercase letters, completion of letters, cursive writing, pen pressure, slant, words written on the line or not, curls and loops,
