This document provides a summary of themes in Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. It discusses how Poe explored themes of the divided self through characters creating alter egos, obsession driven by fear or curiosity, the complex relationship between love and hate, the blurred lines between sanity and madness, the power of human will over death, and images of burial and crypts in stories like "The Fall of the House of Usher." The document provides examples and analysis of how Poe depicted each of these themes in his Gothic short stories.
Theodore Roethke was an American poet born in 1908 in Michigan. He studied at the University of Michigan and Harvard. Roethke struggled with mental illness throughout his life, being institutionalized at times for schizophrenia and manic depression. His poetry was influenced by his difficult childhood, including his father's death when he was young. Roethke is known for his innovative style that blended fiction and nonfiction.

1) Lord Byron wrote Canto III of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage while traveling through Europe after leaving England due to public disapproval of rumors about his personal life.
2) The canto addresses Byron's sense of loss over being separated from his daughter, reflecting his feelings of rejection and isolation.
3) Byron explores themes of individual genius, liberty vs tyranny, and humankind's relationship with the power and sublimity of nature in the landscapes he observes like the Alps and battlefields of Waterloo and Morat.
War poetry emerged during World War 1 and was written by poets like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. These poets sought to depict the horrors of war and show its destructive nature. They portrayed the experiences of soldiers and themes of death, injury, and how war affected troops. Famous poems from this era include Owen's "Dulce Et Decorum Est" and Sassoon's "The Redeemer." Sassoon's poems satirized those responsible for prolonging the war and described the horrors faced by soldiers in the trenches. Poetry provides a valuable first-hand account of the soldier's experience of war, though primary sources are generally considered the most reliable for historians studying a specific war period.

The document discusses the limitations and criticisms of online activism or "clicktivism". It notes that while social media allows issues to gain widespread awareness, as seen with hashtags like #BringBackOurGirls, awareness alone does not create tangible change. Some critics argue that online activism on platforms like Facebook transforms social issues into ways to gain social capital rather than create real change. However, others maintain that clicktivism still has value in spreading awareness and dissent when it may be one of the only forms of expression available. The document also provides several examples of online activist campaigns and hashtags.

Introduction
It has come to my notice that religion is a vital element and all human beings are naturally and deeply religious in one way or the other. In this respect, my project will focus on songs which are among the characteristics of any religion in all societies across the globe. Over the past few years, technology has been the driving element or force in all sectors of the society and we live in a global village which is secularized and to a larger extend people communicate important messages to other people through the use of songs.
Relationship between songs and the letter written by Martin Luther King to the clergymen
By and large my project (songs) is closely linked to “My Dear Fellow Clergymen” a letter written by the late Martin Luther King Junior on 16th April 1963. In his letter, Martin Luther tells us that he was in Birmingham because of a number of injustices that were being witnessed in the society, thus just like prophets of 8th century B.C he came to this town to criticize these injustices. Some of these crimes or injustices that were being witnessed in Birmingham included: unresolved bombings on the homes and churches of the Negro community living in this state, racism among other hostile conditions these people have been subjected into. As a matter of fact, these injustices have been and it is still being witnessed in different states within U.S and other countries across the globe whereby a certain race views itself to be more superior to the other races. The black race has been on the receiving end especially in terms of racial discrimination and the only way to fight for equality between all human beings in all societies more so the western society is to preach peace and enlighten people that all human beings are the same. Technically, religion has been the unifying factor for his case however cases of racial discrimination still persist irrespective of the call to the end of these injustices being practiced by a certain group of people (Luther, 1963).
It is quite evident from Martin Luther letter to the clergy the whole world has waited for more than 340 years in order for the constitutional and Go-given rights of all human beings especially those of the Africans and those of the Asians to be implemented. Africans and Asians are proving that, just like the white community who is very dominant they can take a competitive advantage in the political, social and economic limelight. All these turn of events have been and they are always being driven by the use of songs whether secularized or those used in praising the creator of the universe. Without any doubt, we have just and unjust laws and the aim of these laws are to coerce people to follow it regardless of how harsh they are. In this respect, the only way human beings can save it from being subjected to these laws is to crea.

Analysing The Feminism Voices In Audre Lorde’s Selected PoemsUCsanatadharma
The document summarizes a student's analysis of feminism in Audre Lorde's selected poems. It discusses how Lorde's poems express the oppression faced by black women in a patriarchal society through themes of women's empowerment and resistance. Lorde's poetry gives voice to black women and their struggle against discrimination based on both gender and race. The analysis uses a black feminist framework to examine how Lorde's work advocates for women overcoming oppression and refusing to be defined by social categories.
This thesis examines how young black experiences are portrayed in three novels published by Kwela Books. The novels are Sifiso Mzobe's Young Blood, Kgebetli Moele's Untitled, and K. Sello Duiker's Thirteen Cents. All three novels feature teenage narrators navigating post-apartheid South Africa. The analysis is informed by Frantz Fanon's postcolonial theory and contends that post-apartheid South Africa exhibits characteristics of the post-independence African state described by Fanon. Close readings of the novels explore the social conditions shaping the young protagonists' experiences, including issues of community, family, education, sexuality, gender, and race

Antjie krog for all voices, for all victims
1. “For All Voices, For All Victims” by
AntjieKrog
In 1996, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) started holding public hearings on
the gross human rights violations that occurred during the apartheid era. Both victims and
perpetrators shared stories at the TRC about violence, suffering, oppression and torture.
AntjieKrog bore witness to these narratives as one of the journalists that reported on the TRC
hearings. In her literary work Krog expresses her conflicted feelings towards the past in
general and the hearings of the TRC in particular. Her poem “For All Voices, For All Victims”
was written in response to these hearings and explores the relationship between
reconciliation and national belonging.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission(TRC) was a commission that was assembled in
South Africa after the abrogation of Apartheid. People were then allowed to talk about their
experiences during Aparthied, as well as given testimonies. Staging public hearings was a
sign of democracy and transition, to show that all people will now have the same rights and
will be treated equally. The TRC was cultivated through three committees that lead to these
interviews with people and their testimonies:
The Human Rights Violence Committee (human rights abuses that occurred between
1960 and 1994). Their hearings were held all around South Africa.
The Reparation and Rehabilitation Committee (charged with restoring victims’ dignity
and formulating proposals to help with rehabilitation).
The Amnesty Committee (they considered applications from people who applied for
amnesty in accordance with the provisions of the Act). Their hearings were held all
around South Africa.
If the crimes were politically motivated, the Commission would grant amnesty to those who
committed abuses during the Apartheids era.
2. “For All Voices, For All Victims” by AntjieKrog is a poem which is reflected on The Truth and
Reconciliation Commission and all the testimonies and experiences of the people that
experienced Apartheid. It is a breakdown on what the Commission’s responsibilities are and
the changes that they bring. Krog, is a South African poet who likes to interpret and
understand things on her own way, and then to write what she feels. In this poem she feels
for the need of belonging, and she feels that only after the TRC, she can find this sense of
belonging. This poem is about the struggles against apartheid, the human rights that got
violated, changes that will occur because of democracy and the speaker’s role in history. Her
experience as a white South African that is relative to the TRC, as well as her role as a poet
and someone who is trying to make sense of her country’s past.
In the first line of this poem, Krog addressing someone, “because of you / this country no
longer lies / between us but within”she is addressing the victims who got victimized and
abused during the Apartheids era. The structure of the address suggests that reconciliation
and forgiveness are necessary for her to belong to post-apartheid South Africa.The victims
have the chance now to speak their minds and share their stories with the world. She is
addressing these victims to make her poem more personal, personalizing this shows us that
she cares and she has hope for these people, saying they all, including herself and the rest of
the economy can live amongst each other now.
The way Krog uses the tone of the poem is significant to the themes of reconciliation and
belonging. The tone of the poem is equivalent to the mood or attitude of the speaker. It is
how the reader interprets the poem, whether he/she is going to have the same attitude
towards the poem as the speaker. Krog has the need to belong in this country and her guilt
is making it difficult for her. She feels guilty for how white people had treated black people,
for what they had done to them. She expresses empathy towards these black people. The
pace of the poem starts off fast but later on it slows down. It starts off fast so the readers can
understand this emphasis of seriousness Krog is givingabout the Apartheids era and all that
has happened during this time. She wants the readers to realize and accept what happened
and to understand her feelings and opinion about it. When the tone slows down, Krog is
asking for forgiveness from these victims. Repetition is of the words “forgive me” are used.
This emphasizes her sense of belonging, if she is forgiven she can belong. The narrative is
often intense and spirited, she writes about her feelings towards the TRC and the Apartheids
3. era. Her choice of words are powerful, it lures the readers to understand the seriousness of
this events. She is trying to heal the nation through speech. Rhythm and word choice are
significant in the formation of the nation to which she wants to belong.
In the poem Krogexplains what has happened to South Africa, the change that had occurred
in 1994. Krog is personifying our country or nations by giving it human characteristics.At first
she saw the country as a “wounded” place. If a human is physically hurt, he is wounded,
Krog is personifying a wounded person with this wounded country. Therefore saying the
country is broken. Where there were only feelings of sadness and despair. This gives the
readers an image of South Africa as a place of cruelty. Hearing the horrible testimonies of all
those people that were abused during Apartheids era, she had the feeling of despair. After
democracy in 1994, where Aparthied was distinguished, Krog felt a sense of relief, she felt
like the country had calmed down, “it breathes becalmed.”Only humans can calm down, it is
an emotion which humans can feel, thus personifying the country again. There is a sense of
hope, the country has changed to a place of democracy where there would be no more
abusing of people and violence. This is an image of a country with hope and happiness.An
image where all the people, no matter if you are black and white, could live together, where
everyone had equal rights. Because of this democracy there is no more Apartheid, nothing
separating people from each other, but all the people living amongst each other as South
Africans.
The act of speaking and listening and asking for forgiveness that dominated the TRC
hearings is evident throughout the poem.She speaks her mind and she wants her readers to
listen, in other words she writes what she feels and what she wants the readers to read and
she is hoping that they would “listen” that they would read this poem and “hear” what she is
trying to express to her readers.
The significance of “skin” focus on the fact that Krog as a white South African woman, was
the woman who reported to the TRC. At first she was “scorched” by what she had heard
from these victims, so she said “a new skin” which is a new beginning, a new country and a
new life,where skin colour does not matter anymore. We are all the same and we all have
the same legal rights. This is what Krog is trying to make her readers understand. She feels
guilty because of her skin colour and she wants to move forward as an ally but is struggling
with her own guilt.She wants a country where there would be no more violence,but only
4. peace. Since 1994 there was a change in South Africa, democracy have had occurred and
Apartheid was no more. Referring to “a new skin” means that there is a new chapter in
people’s lives. It is a new country with new sets of rules and new legal rights. Using the
word “skin” is significant, because of Apartheid, because there your skin colour mattered. “A
new skin,” a new country is born.
Krogreflects on the importance of the TRC and the stories that was shared. She terrified with
the testimonies she had heard. She wanted to share this with the outside world so they could
know about this and express their own feelings about it.At the heart of this poem is the
concept of belonging and reconciliation. How people can move on after being victimized and
abused. How forgiveness comes into play and how to heal after these events that had
occurred during the Apartheids era. As such, the poem has much to say about the human
condition in general, how we consider what we inflict on each other, and what comes after
that deep, abiding pain. This is what is important to Krog and this is what she is trying to
explain is this poem. She wants to be forgiven for the past years in South Africa and she
wants to be accepted by all the people, no matter their skin colour. She wants to belong, she
wants to call these people her family and South Africa her home.She hated the feeling of not
belong in the post-apartheid South Africa.
Thus is the poem “For All Voices, For All Victims” written in response to the hearings and
testimonies of the victims of the Apartheids era it and explores the relationship between
reconciliation and national belonging.
