This particular poem is about parents that have no idea what's going on in their kid's daily life and what they go through. With this type of action, the parents act as if all is good and make little to no effort to get involved in their day to day activities. This shows the kid that the parent does not care or seems like it. The kid will be influenced to do things they normally wouldn't do. If the parent would at least make an attempt to get involved, it may influence them for the better but until then it will not happen.
The poem focuses on the idea of independence and ones journey to success. Personally I don't know what my future holds, let alone how to really prepare for the ride ahead although I do know that I must be my own person in order to make my own way in this great world. In the first stanza of the poem, “the dark trees” symbolise an unknown future, full of possibilities. This is of course similar to what I and many other year twelve graduates currently feel about next year. “They would not find me changed from him they knew”
The execution of Eric Edgar Cooke will never equate to the lives that were destroyed by his brutality. The genre of crime has been challenged within the biographical novel, Broken Lives, written by Estelle Blackburn. This text revolves around the crimes of Eric Edgar Cooke and the wrongful incarceration of John Button and Darryl Beamish. Within the text, the crime genre has been challenged due to the portrayal of the legal system, as the police and legal system are not idolised within the text. This was conveyed through the use of expository conventions, such as emotive language and selection of detail.
Differences in “Flowers for Algernon” and Charly In the short story, “Flowers for Algernon,” and the movie “Charly,” both by Daniel Keyes, present a mentally challenged man named Charlie Gordon. During the story, he goes through an operation that makes him three times smarter than the average man. This however, is temporary and he grows intelligent, but he returns into his old self in the end. The movie, Charly, the changes the foreshadowing, point of view, and symbolism of the story, “Flowers for Algernon,” which makes the theme more effective.
Dickinson’s stanza in her poem: We grow accustomed to the Dark - When Light is put away - As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp, To witness her Goodbye – (Lines 1-4). This supports how Emily Dickinson’s poem relates to the universal concept by giving us a situation where one must overcome obstacles (their fears). Dickinson explains how the mind influences how we see things. though the mind gets used to the darkness, so too does the mind change its way of seeing other things.
Have you had any good experiences recently? For some, this may be hard to answer because our brains are so caught up on the negative events in our lives. In the book Hardwiring Happiness, Rick Hanson discusses the topic of happiness. He argues that we can rewire our brains by focusing on the positive. Our brains have a negativity bias, which stems from our prehistoric ancestors.
Another classmate commented that she liked how the first line seemed to have a completely different meaning when rereading the poem, since it illustrates how killing one’s own inner demons is a cycle. One student also felt disconnected at “with each glance your shadow grows darker”, since the poem is not clear about what this character is glancing at or where this dialogue is coming
I think this poem describes the struggle beautifully. The reason I chose this poem specifically is because of how different it is from the other two I chose, the symbolism and figurative language is used
Through the poem’s tone, metaphors used, and symbols expressed the poem portrays that fear can make life seem charred or obsolete, but in reality life propels through all seasons and obstacles it faces.

In the first stanza, we can already see how this poem can relate to the world today and how we feel about certain things. We as humans don't like change. Sometimes, we want something to happen so bad, that we don't consider how our life might change if this wish, this hope of something, actually happened. We sometimes may want something so bad, but fear what the consequences might be if something goes
but she only see’s things with her soul now which she is not completely sure about because she says ‘guess’. In ‘We grow accustomed to the Dark’ the speaker believes that we can adjust to the darkness or it can adjust to us and then we will be fine and continue with life. “The Bravest - grope a little - And sometimes hit a Tree, Directly in the Forehead - But as they learn to see -” People who make attempts whether or not they are certain are the ones who are brave and they are the ones that learn to adjust.
