"The Star Spangled Banner" is a poem by Francis Scott Key that is also known as the United States national anthem. The author of this poem uses imagery extensively, as he employs vivid language that allows the reader to create a vivid picture in his mind. The author describes the aftermath of the battle in the text using images of mist and darkness. This contributes to developing the setting. He also talks about the change from night to morning and the rays of light that illuminate the banner.

Moreover, he uses several symbols. He talks about footprints to show the arrogance of the British when fighting the Americans. He also talks about these footprints being washed by blood, which is a symbol for their defeat. He also employs the symbol of the banner or flag to convey the idea of America and its role as the land of the free.

Maksim231197 [3]

As we know, we live in a society that sets standards all the time in any possible field. We have aesthetic, academic, professional, behavioral standards and many others. When we do not fit this pattern we feel excluded and we have difficulty accepting ourselves, for this reason, we have difficulty socializing and we start to think that we must change who we are in order to "fit in" and not be a lonely person and without any company .

It is no different with me, I do not fit the standard of beauty that society imposes. This affected my self-esteem and I was extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with my own image. This dissatisfaction isolated me from everything and everyone, I could not establish any kind of relationship with anyone, because I was so dissatisfied with me that I felt that I would be rejected by everyone.

My parents, concerned about my situation, proposed that I go to therapy so that I could better deal with these negative feelings around myself. It was not easy to change this view, but little by little I managed to improve and see that I don't need to fit into unreachable standards and that I could be who I am and focus on my qualities. It is not easy today, but I try to take it one step at a time, with the certainty that paranoias in my head should not be adopted as truth, but should be debated and help me to build a better conception of myself.

Answer:

Festival: DIWALI

I traveled to India last year as part of my tour of Asia and i made a brief stop at Kolkata. Fortunately for me, i was right on time to witness the festival of Diwali which usually lasts for five days and celebrated between mid-October and mid-November.

Diwali is a celebration that is peculiar to Hinduism and according to locals, it symbolizes the spiritual victory over light and darkness.

In preparation for the celebration, the locals in Kolkata made a whole make-over of their surroundings by cleaning, decorating and renovating their houses and workplaces. They were on their best attires and offered <em>puja </em>(which i was told means worship) to Lakshmi the goddess of prosperity and wealth.

The first day of Diwali was accompanied by making beautiful decorations and cleanings. The second day is  known as <em>Naraka Chaturdashi. </em>The third day which is the day of Lakshmi Puja is the darkest night of the traditional month. The fourth day of Diwali is dedicated to the union of husband and wife and the last day is known as Bhai Dooj which is dedicated to the relationship between brother and sister.

The locals at Kolkata look forward to this day with great enthusiasm and gusto. I stayed in Kolkata for the entire five days of celebration before i moved on to another city.
