ENGL 1101 D
Topic: Superstition
Quote: “Star light, star bright wish upon a star tonight” is a well-known children’s rhyme that when closely examined, reveals the long held beliefs of humanity, that the heavenly bodies are intertwined within our fate and can influence even our most mundane desires.
Metaphor: The traditional legend of the leprechaun is tantamount to man’s desires for the possessions of his neighbor and his continual search for wealth in whatever form is dearest to him.
Topic: Halloween
Imagery: The crisp autumn air, rustling of freshly fallen leaves in a chilling breeze that carries the hint of death within its bosom, children running about in a candy induced fervor, and the faint smell of straw hay in the air occasionally tempting the nostrils with a hint of nostalgia. An oddity amongst its fellow holidays, Halloween for some unknown reason summons a unique spirit within all of us, it is the one time of year mischief is celebrated not condemned and reveals all of our inner desires to trick more than treat.
