Look at the flame! Flames everywhere…,” (26). But there were no flames. Not yet, at least. No one believed her, they thought she was crazy.
I have chosen the poem titled Oxygen by Mary Oliver, found on page 373 in the Meyer text for first analysis. This poem is essential about someone who is seriously ill, however, the tone is rather appreciative and hopeful. In line 5-6, the individual–might be the author herself– kneels by the fire, and this may connect to the fuel that is keeping her partner alive. The burning logs correlates to the life within her partner, that as long as they burn, he will be kept alive. The oxygen fuels the fire burning and also keeps her man alive; however, he is ill and “in his usual position, leaning on his shoulder.”
‘I see a fire! I see flames, huge flames!’” (25). She claims to see fire and tries to warn everyone, but no one believes her, because it is not physically there. The author wanted us to see that it was going to get a lot worse than it currently
In “Forged by Fire” by Sharon M. Draper, Gerald, the main character in the story, grows into a brave man. In the beginning, Gerald starts a fire in his mom’s apartment. Gerald gets scared from the flames, sounds, and heat that he goes behind the couch to hide from the fire. After the fire, Gerald lives with his aunt. On Geralds’s 9th birthday, Gerald’s mom came to the house with a sister for Gerald, but he doesn’t want to see neither of the two.
At the beginning of the memoir, the author starts off the story by explaining a time she started a fire by cooking hotdogs when she was just three years old. She “screamed” and “smelled the burning and heard a horrible crackling as the fire singed my hair and eyelashes” (Walls 9). An exposed fire occurs multiple times in the book, which represents the author’s dad’s continuous drinking habits. Not only is the fire destructive and harmful to the family, but so is the father’s alcoholic addiction. This metaphor represents a large negative impact on the family.
The fire fights the loneliness that Ann feels. Sinclair believes that when humans have to deal with isolation, the way they behave with certain
There was nothing left around us, nothing saved the night, and a thin thread of flame in it... we stretched our hands to the wire, and we saw our fingers in the red glow” (Rand 59/60). This light shines through the tunnel, it gives them hope, it gives them light and it gives them happiness. This was their breakthrough. Breaking through the darkness of their society, the pain, the punishment was all gone.
Jeannette Walls shares that her earliest memory is when she was three years old. She was on fire. Her pink tutu dress had ignited as she was cooking hotdogs for her family unsupervised over the stove. She describes in detail how the flames attacked her side viscously and crept towards her face mercilessly. Her mother was in another room, working on a painting.

The hot sun burns against my dripping back as I hold a prickling pile of freshly cut pine leaves to throw away. They sting my flesh as they pass the pores of my dad’s worn-out red working gloves I wear. Each thorn is like a stab against my pride and a crying demand for me to surrender. As my legs wear heavy and my fingers cramp, I can only wonder if I will ever see the end of this day.
“When Everything Burns” The smell of burning plastic and wood fills the air I fight back the tears, I tell myself that I should’t care. There’s a screaming panic within and uncontrollable fears. As I watch my memories slowly melting away, I’m left on the sidelines to simply watch things crumble.
Her eyes seemed stretched open, blazed open by the flames reflected in them. And Dee. I see her standing off under the sweet gum tree she used to dig gum out of; a look of concentration on her face as she watched the last dingy gray board of the house fall in toward the red-hot brick chimney. Why don’t you do a dance around the ashes? I’d wanted to ask her.
In today's society us individuals tend to suffer from the past because we are scared or worried to step into the future. Individuals are frightened for what is going to come they think they are not ready for obstacles or challenges that they will face, they have to be motivated or pushed by someone in order for them to get going they need a boost. People who are self educated or even self enlightened should not just do it for themself they should benefit from it and also other people,the people that need that little boost the ones that need someone to help motivate them to start moving on to the future rather than being stuck in the past and in their old lives. People that can not self motivate themselves need help from people that have been self enlightened.

I crouch behind a nearby staircase as the volume of the pounding increases. All of a sudden, it stops and I work up the nerve to stand up
