Emily Dickinsons Private World
Number of words: 1748 - Number of pages: 7.... within a poet whose imagination was fed by her solitude but who also desired tangible sensual experiences. It is unlikely that her poems would be so insightful and perceptive had she been engaged in the daily business of dealing with people, for it is only by removing herself from the world that she could analyze it.
Dickinson's poems reflect the cloistered and enclosed world in which she lived-- they are rarely longer than a stanza or two, reminding the reader of small parcels with intricate wrapping that conceals their true intent. Within the poems the lines themselves are short- most a .....

it an episode from an Oliver Stone or Quentin Tarrantino film. In fact, it is
not a scene from any movie, although the story will likely wind up as a made-
for-television drama. Rather, it is the dramatic finale of the life of
rapper/actor Tupac Amaru Shakur, who was shot four times during this escapade
while traveling from a Mike Tyson fight to a nearby club on September 7th. He
later died of the wounds, after six days of intensive care and several
unsuccessful operations.
Tupac Amaru, or 2Pac, as he spelled it --distinguishing him from the
violent Peruvian terrorist gr .....

Eric "Eazy-E" Wright
Number of words: 604 - Number of pages: 3.... His voice fueled a
legion of hits. In the early `90's, he joined other West Coast rappers,
including M.C. Hammer, Ice T, Tone-Loc, and Young MC, in a stop the violence
campaign led by the single "We're All In The Same Gang". With N.W.A, Eazy broke

Attempts to rock the young musician's foundation were generally useless.
Arrests for performing N.W.A's biggest hit "F*** The Police", and other attempts
at censorship only helped pave the way for his success. By the time the group
had released its last album, Efi .....

Dorothy Parker
Number of words: 935 - Number of pages: 4.... tackle are as follows: "bitterness, humor, wit, and love" (Adams 519), together with an absolute foreknowledge of their futility. Love, especially, plays a major role as a theme of Parker's verse. Many poems are relating to love and loneliness or death as results of love. Parker once said of an actress in a review of a play that she "runs the gamut of emotions from A to B." The same could almost be applied to the author herself (Bloom 2537). Her more bitter verses become brief ballads of animosity. This aspect is quite well demonstrated by the imagined injury of others in "Fru .....
