Post 11: Fist

 I wanted to explain the metaphor in the poem "The Socks" by Jane Kenyon. In the poem she says "Then I fill your drawer with tight dark fist." She is not talking about actual severed hands in this instance she is talking about how the socks look like tight dark fist when they are rolled up in that manor. I think this is interesting because I do my socks in the same way but never thought of it like this until reading the poem that she wrote. To me it shows the resemblance that every day items can have in your everyday life. 

In your chest cold and unwavering. The scars hidden from the world, buried deep under the skin. The trials and test of life become heavy and overcoming. Over all obstacles it still beats like a pumping fist. searching for a new light.

 "A Doll's House" was set in 1879, In the 1800's women were not treated the best. They really had no rights and were considered only to be home makers. They did not work unless it was on the farm with the spouse, and were expected to do what they were told with no complaints. compared to modern day women that is the complete opposite. Women now have the same freedoms and liberties as a man does. They are no longer "property" and should be treated as such. Women can now vote, own weapons, work jobs, and so much more. They are not defined by their husbands or fathers like they were in the late 1800's

Post 10: The Lone Wolf

 "They say the wolf on the hill is never as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill. Always be that wolf climbing the hill. It does not matter if you have to walk alone for a while, it is much better to walk alone in the right direction, than to follow the heard going in the wrong direction." (Fearless Motivation 2017) The lone wolf is the leader, the strong, the protector of the heard. They are what holds them all together but they go through the biggest challenges and the biggest right. This is the image in my life, is the lone wolf. They may have the worst struggles, but it is because they are the only ones strong enough to handle them. While the wolf is still dangerous alone they know together they can stop anything. This is something I have always aligned myself with definitely in the military. To me the wolf is an image of struggle, strength, perseverance, and sear will to overcome. I will also link the speech that was quoted in there too, it is a great thing to listen to ...

      Sunday night came way to fast again. Adam got ready to leave his family again in search of a better future for them. It is a long drive to the Middle Georgia campus, but it is the road leading to Adam's dreams. He drives through the night to get to class an hour before it starts and walks up the stairs to the class room. Professor Allan comes in and gives the days lecture to the class. After class Adam walks back to his car and starts the long road back to his children. It is a task that becomes more overwhelming with time, but he keeps the thought of what the rewards will be in such a short time. This is what keeps him going through this every week.
