Yes.

it is not possible under current U.S. law to copyright or protect an idea. (You also cannot copyright a title.) So, how much precaution should you take to keep your ideas secret?

Very little. I guarantee that others have similar ideas; you see it happen all the time in the business. Chalk it up to cultural zeitgeist. While I don’t advocate advertising your idea far and yon, or putting flashing lights around it on your blog, the chances that an agent, editor, critique partner, or stranger will:

(a) steal your idea

(b) execute your idea better than you

(c) AND be able to sell it

… are next to zero. It is not worth worrying about. Share your work with trusted advisers, send it to agents/editors for consideration, and talk about aspects of it on your blog. No problem. Unless you are known in the industry for coming up with million-dollar high concepts, it’s not likely you’ll experience idea theft.

Also, I love Jeanne Bowerman‘s take on this fear: Sure, someone can steal your idea, but they can’t possibly execute it or interpret it in the same way you can. No one can be you. That is your best protection of all.

In the poem “second estrangement” what is the authors message ? Respond in one paragraph using text evidence to support your ide
sammy [17]

Answer:

<h3>Realizing that the world is filled with strangers.</h3>

Explanation:

  • In the poem "Second Estrangement", the poet presents the image of an innocent child who realizes that the world is filled with strangers. She says that one does not realize how scary and estrange the world is until he/she is lost and all alone.
  • Through the lines "<em>only to see the face  look strangely down, utterly  foreign, utterly not the one  who loves you</em>", <u>the poet presents the idea of seeing the reality of life. </u>Just like the child, everyone of us think we are in a safe place until we see the reality of life.
  • Then she ends the poem with the lines "<em>How far the world you knew, & tall,  & filled, finally, with strangers."  </em>to ironically bring the message of life's cruelty and reality.

I believe Icarus was not failing as he fell,
Digiron [165]
Based on the last line taken from Jack Gilbert's "Failing and Flying", Gilbert offers a different interpretation of the Icarus myth which is <span>C. That Icarus was triumphant in his flight even though he drowned</span>. He interpreted Icarus' flight to be a triumph since Icarus had the courage to do the thing he wanted to which most of us don't have the courage for knowing that we might not be successful.
