Sylvia Path Research Paper

Moral or ethical anger was exempt from these inhibitions. But most such focuses, like the Camps, aroused terror rather than rage.

Ginsberg and Hughes have in common is that both are poets. During a time in American History were African Americans had no rights of freedom of speech or even a right to vote.

And Allen Ginsberg did the same diving into the wreck of himself and of the world around him to salvage himself and something worth saving of the world. In this process, he composes Howl to create a new way of observation for life through the expression of counterculture. Protesting against technocracy, sex and revealing sexuality, psychedelic drugs, visionary experience, breaking the conventions of arts and literature; all basic characteristics of counterculture are combined and celebrated in
