My little brother leans over the bed and slides his arms under my knees and behind my shoulders, lifting and carrying me to my w

heelchair. He sits me down gingerly, almost getting me in the perfect position (a nearly impossible task). He unplugs my phone from the charger and sets it on my lap, walks to the kitchen to pour a cup of coffee, which he leaves on the edge of the dining room table for me, then comes back into my room. "I'm going back to bed. Are you good?" he asks. I thank him and drive to the dining room to find the coffee that will inject me with the energy to make it through the day. My laptop is sitting next to the cup of steaming coffee (more like coffee-flavored milk, Andrew made it very sweet). Part of Dad's morning routine—after getting me up at 6 a.m. for a shower and putting me back in bed afterward—is to open my laptop on the edge of the table so I have something to do when Andrew goes back to sleep. I can't physically type on a keyboard or lift the cup of coffee to my lips, but like all daily tasks, I've found ways to improvise. I have an app for my iPhone that transforms it into a wireless mouse pad and keyboard (I love you, Apple). Sticking out of my coffee is a super long bendy straw that I ordered off the Internet. It is long enough so that the straw reaches my mouth when the coffee is sitting on the table. Little adaptations like these are what allow me to thrive.

Please Help!! I'm not creative AT ALL!!
salantis [7]

A long time ago in an old dry land there were 30 people living in one town and they needed rain so bad the grass was brown there crops were dead and they were about to burn up.  

One day they all got down on their knees and they prayed to the GOD of weather. And the god of weather took it the wrong way and he punished them all. He gave them their but just a little too much rain. The sky was lighting up and the ground was shaking and they got really scared. They went into there houses and they got down again and prayed again and said " please make it stop raining we have had enough rain".  

But the God was still mad at them and he made it rain harder and harder. One day they all died off because they drowned because of all the rain.And the God thought it was funny later on that day it stopped raining and about 20 minutes later a little girl came out and the God saw her and he took her up and raised her to later become the Godess of weather.

And at the time the little girl didn't know that he killed all those people including her mom and dad. Later on she found out about what he did and so she came up with a plan, and she sent him down to the village and he went and she trapped him down there and she made it rain and rain and rain and rain, and finally he died just like all of her family and friends.  

And then later on some other villagers moved into the old village and she answer her prayers and she let it rain but not too much rain.

Critically analyse the poem Goodbye Party for Miss Pushpa TS by Nissim Ezekiel.
kaheart [24]

A brief analysis of the poem "Goodbye Party for Miss Pushpa TS" by Nissim Ezekiel, taking into consideration the cultural aspects surrounding the poem, is the following:

  • The poem imitates the way an Indian man would talk in English as he makes a speech during a farewell party to Miss Pushpa. We can notice his excessive use of continuous tenses, even in places where the idea of an action in progress is not necessary.
  • We can also notice that the speaker loses his train of thought. That is an interesting way the author has found of mirroring a real-life, spontaneous speech. It is quite common for a person who is talking to get lost for a moment.
  • We can mention the exaggerated compliments about Miss Pushpa's sweet temper and helpfulness. This is most likely a cultural aspect, and these qualities must be relevant in Indian society.
  • The author is not concerned with meter or rhyme for this poem, since his purpose is to imitate a natural, spontaneous speech. Each of the 7 stanzas focuses on a different point in the speaker's train of thought.

<h3>Tips to write an analysis of a poem:</h3>
  • Read the whole poem more than once, paying attention to different aspects. First, try to understand what the poem is about, what its general message is.
  • Then, pay attention to the poem's structure - rhymes, meter, stanzas, rhythm. These elements can have an impact in the poem's message.
  • Notice the author's word choice as well, such as the presence of dialect, or the use of sensory language (words that appeal to the five senses). Figurative language, such as metaphor or personification, should also be commented on.
