Hello! I'm Kamryn Barnes and I'm currently a junior at B.C. Rain High School. I tend to usually be found reading a book or hanging out with my friends. I also spend my time with JROTC, band, and also choir! Whenever I'm not working hard in school, I devote my time to helping teach sunday school classes at my church and watching after my three younger siblings. I look forward to having a bright school year and I do wish the best to my fellow classmates the best as well!

Kamryn Barnes Mr. Rease AP Lit 12 Death of a Salesman The social commentary behind this book at such an early timeframe (1940s) where the American Dream was still highly marketed speaks volumes about the boldness of Arthur Miller and how deeply he believed the public needed to hear the message. I greatly admire Miller’s controversiality, knowing that the play had the possibility of not being widely received by the public. This book is a literary feat that stands alone, forever timeless, as a work of art with a profound message. Death of a Salesman is a play that will tell the truth many may not want to hear, and it does so with a mix of both boldness and subtlety.

    "Infant Joy" and "Infant Sorrow" by William Blake are both very similar poems. In one instance, both poems are linked to the joy of childbirth. Although the mood of "Infant Sorrow" is significantly different, there is still an atmosphere of happiness in the story it is trying to tell. These two poems are also both told moments after the infant had been born. The feelings are new, positive or not, and add to the effect of the poem. This is a great linking factor to both poems.     Although these poems are very alike, they also share vast differences. The most obvious difference is the mood and tone of each poem. While "Infant Joy" is told in a jovial manner, "Infant Sorrow" emphasizes on the discomfort and sorrow that the newborn feels. Also, while "Infant Joy" focuses on the happiness of the newborn itself, the only traces of happiness in "Infant Sorrow" are the crying parents, happy that their child is finally...

The novel told stories of love and loss and how different people cope with the aftermath. The point of view constantly shifts and is sometimes incoherent. The novel is even so witty as to have been out of order just as Kien's attempt at a novel had been. This book was a controversial, however effective portrayal of the Vietnam War. It had exceeded beyond my initial expectations as a historical novel and as a work of fiction entirely.        My initial reaction to such a grim book was pure horror. There were many unpleasant scenes within the book that had been hard to read. However, although these events were indeed horrific and graphic, they were realistic and add substance to the book. These are hard truths about the war that are taken into account in the book and not censored in ...
