pond is a symbol of her life with ted. It might be perfect, but the swan remains white and pure even though it lives in a dark environment. Even though Sylvia Plath is a unique writer there isn't anyone who she can be compared to. There isn't anyone that expresses their pain with poetry like Sylvia Plath did.

“This ain’t the life for me, I wanna change, but ain’t no future right for me, I’m stuck in the game, I’m trapped inside a maze”. Both Tupac and Sylvia Plath felt trapped and wanted to escape. Tupac ends his song with the lyric, “Bring me closer to embrace an early death”. He doesn't like the way he was living, just like Sylvia Plath he lived everyday hoping the next would be better than the last. One of the main reasons Sylvia Plath suffered so much is because we had high expectations of what life would be like once she married Ted. She didn't expect her marriage to be the way it was, she felt trapped and never mentioned her feelings to anyone, nobody was there for her. The only way she could express her feeling was through her poems. The poems were her escape and she knew she wanted more

By doing this, Poe is able to show that no matter how hard his life on earth is, he is able to be at peace because of the faith he has of one day reuniting with the love of his life.

Tupac starts the song by asking if life is “worth living” (Shakur, 2) and if he should “blast [him]self” (2). Right off the bat this gives an idea of how important the issue at hand is, and it also incorporates pathos which earns sympathy and a closer ear from the listeners. This hurt tone continues throughout the text, although it does go back and forth between being more hopeless and more angry. It’s also worth noting that the words

Moonshiners were in a profitable but sometimes tough business during the Prohibition. “In 1923, explaining how growing quantities of liquor were being smuggled into the United States from Canada, Roy Hanes said, “ You cannot keep liquor from dripping though a dotted line”” (Okrent, 153). The government had poisoned the alcohol that was still in rotation for non-recreation purposes, so no one could drink illegally. This caused the ‘wets’ to find a way to remove the poison from the alcohol so they could still obtain a profit. “Denver drinkers could look to cunning moonshiners who placed animal carcasses near their distilleries, thus disguising the telltale scent of sour mash with the more potent aroma of rotting flesh” (Okrent, 128).

In the poem ‘Tulips' by Sylvia Plath, the theme of isolation is presented throughout the poem. The speaker accentuates how disconnected she feels from the world, however she seems to embrace her isolation; it is something that she would prefer to clutch onto. The only problem she seems to have is the constant reminder that actually, in fact, she is not alone. Plath uses the imagery of tulips, which is constantly repeated throughout the poem as a symbol of isolation. The tulips can be seen to represent the love and concern that other people have for the speaker, for example her family, and that these people are there for her and that she is not alone.
