David Bottom’s poems have always been intriguing and full of insights. His creative use of imagery and symbolism always makes his poems interesting and insightful as well. Though he has written many poems on many issues, his first two collections fit into the tradition of southern poetry. Much of his focus is on the problems of the South, especially in the twentieth century. Such problems include racism, lack of identity, frustration that come about when people live lives that are limited in opportunity and potential and the disappearance of the rural world into suburbia. In his poem “Shooting Continue reading...

Stress is undoubtedly among the inevitable parts of every person’s daily lives. Simply put, everybody cannot avoid experiencing stress everyday. Stress, as described by some sources, is the overall responsive mechanism that the human body manifests when confronted by various demands and other stimulating factors from the environment it moves in (NASP, 2012; The Psychology Foundation of Canada, n. date).

The American Dream

Almost everybody wants to experience living in the land of milk and honey: America. Others called it the ‘land of the free’ because of the type of government they have and the way that the citizens enjoy their freedom in almost every aspect of their lives. These names that describe America aided other people in coining the phrase ‘The American Dream’. Every person who lives in America has their own meaning of ‘The American Dream,’ but for me ‘The American Dream’ means giving equal opportunity to people regardless of their race, color, and culture and letting them be proud Continue reading...

Therefore, “Sonny’s Blues” and “The Weary Blues” each speak to how music can be a powerful escape to the injustice and suffering Continue reading...

Literature Review

A mental illness is a medical condition that disrupts a person's thinking, feeling, mood, ability to relate to others and daily functioning. It is easy to forget that Bipolar Disorder, as we know it, is a recent construct. Bipolar Disorder is now recognized as a potentially treatable psychiatric illness that has substantial mortality and high economic impact. According to Swann (2006), every aspect of its definition, boundaries, mechanism, and treatment, however, is subject to debate. We need to understand Bipolar Disorder well enough that we will no longer wait for a manic episode before we can diagnose.

The wise choices arouse readers Continue reading...
