The well-known Christian author once wrote, "Consider a tree for a moment. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground - as they grow roots. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty.
In the poem, the narrator “I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.” This means even though the narrator won’t let out his wrath upon his foe, his wrath will still grow until he decides to release it.
Mary Frances “Francie” Noles is the main character of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn; a story about a poor second generation immigrant family living in Brooklyn during the early 1900s. Despite the fact Francie is a young child, she has been made to endure the hardships of living in extreme poverty. She is inquisitive, lonely, resourceful, curious, and honest. Francie’s endearing, childlike wonderment and compassion are contrasted perfectly by her analytical, wise-beyond-her-years perception of the world. Francie’s nativity protects her from the sadness and demoralizing conditions of tenement life, but the hardships she can understand are surmounted by her tremendous strength of will making her a likeable character.
The historical fiction novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is centered around Francie Nolan, the protagonist. Francie Nolan is a strong spirited and intelligent young lady. Francie growing up in a poor atmosphere, learns to appreciate the little things in life and sees the best in places and people. To demonstrated, “"People always think that happiness is a faraway thing," thought Francie, "something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains-a cup of strong hot coffee when you're blue; for a man, a cigarette for contentment; a book to read when you're alone-just to be with someone you love.
In the novel, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Betty Smith takes the reader through the life of a girl named Francie Nolan, who was born in the early 1900’s. Francie was the first born child, and raised by her mother, Katie and her father, Johnny. Once Francie’s little brother, Neely is born, she struggles to gain the same attention and acceptance from her mother that she gives to him, and desires equal love. Although Katie plays as a minor character, she presents an important part in the novel, as her behaviors highlight the weaknesses and strengths in Francie, and illuminate the meaning of the work as a whole. While Francie grows up to learn and overcome many obstacles in her life, the relationship between her and her mother is a continuous internal and external battle that she cannot grow out of.
Next, the context of the story. The author based The Light In The Forest of some actual people from the past. For example he wrote about the Paxton boys.

Comparingly, the poem “I Can Stand Him No Longer” is about a man who hates another person. He pretends as
Being a child can be a piece of cake since there is usually nothing to worry and stress about. Children have no exposure to the brutal world. They only know what it’s like to be a minor as they remain in their small bubble of innocence. Education may not seem like an important and crucial matter for an eleven-year-old. Generally, they recieve all the love from their family.
The author uses a list of her ordinary life events and moments to express that hatred feels are more about love during mundane events. The ironic tone of Julie Sheehan’s “Hate Poem” reveals that love and hate are closely related.

For my analysis I decided to read and comprehend “From A Son of the Forest” by William Apess. He was the first Native American to have a published autobiography. William was the son of a Native American women and a white man, which was becoming more and more common during this time period. Other than the information provided in his autobiography, little is known of Apess’ life. He was the leader of the first Indian Rights movement, and was an activist in civil rights.

In this song, the speaker is portrayed as a man who is hurting from his past relationship and so he tries to figure out what made things change and where they went wrong. Throughout the song the speaker reflects on how he was feeling while they were still together and now that they are apart. The song was written as a message to the antagonist, the woman that the speaker loved, and now, is no longer with; he wants answers and he wants her to know how he feels and just how much she hurt him. The speaker lets us know that the pain he is feeling from this broken love of theirs is internal by stating, “To hear that tears me up inside and to see you cuts me like a knife” (Poison).
