Gun control is a serious issue throughout the nation. Some people feel that guns should be taken away because they are harmful and cause more negative that positive situations. Guns have killed thousands of people for various reasons, but this is not the guns fault. People are the ones killing and pulling the trigger. Knifes and other weapons kill just as much as guns do but no one notices that. If guns are taken away then people are left defenseless. If someone really wanted a gun after guns were taken away, it is certain they will get one and hurt the people without. Not everyone should have to suffer because a few people use guns not in the way they were intended to be used. Gun control has been a debate for a long time now and everyone has an opinion but no one knows the answer. It's not the guns killing, its the people. Taking away guns is pointless and would do more harm that good.
In the poem In Memoriam, A. H. H. by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, the poet expresses a philosophical belief in the eternal life of the spirit.
"In Memoriam A.H.H." or simply "In Memoriam" is a poem by the British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, completed in 1849.
Originally the title of the poem was "The Way of the Soul", and this might provide a clue of how the poem is an account of all Tennyson's thoughts and emotions as he grieves over the death of a close friend.
The poem may be summarised in a couple of brief sentences. The speaker views a distant land and recalls, with a certain melancholy nostalgia, the hills and spires of his homeland. He recognises that, whilst he was happy when he lived there, he cannot return there now he is older and has left that land behind.
The traditional quatrain form of the poem, with the abab rhyme scheme, is used in many of Housman’s poems, and here the form serves him well, allowing him to reflect on the passing of time (and the futility of longing for a land and age that is dead and gone) in taut, regularly rhythmic stanzas. Yet there is some subtlety to the word choices: note A E Housman Shropshire Lad hillsthat ‘blue remembered hills’ is not hyphenated, so does Housman mean that the hills are literally blue (unusual, but perhaps not impossible) or should we analyse ‘blue’ as denoting melancholy nostalgia? The lack of a hyphen introduces some doubt: ‘blue-remembered hills’ would suggest that the speakerer, it is worth examining how Housman creates the emotional punch that his poem carries. The fortieth poem from A Shropshire Lad, which begins ‘Into my heart an air that kills’, is one of his most famous poems, a short lyric about nostalgia and growing old.
Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
