Summer, an excerpt
by Amy Lowell

Some men there are who find in nature all
Their inspiration, hers the sympathy
Which spurs them on to any great endeavor,
To them the fields and woods are closest friends,
And they hold dear communion with the hills;
The voice of waters soothes them with its fall,
And the great winds bring healing in their sound.
To them a city is a prison house
Where pent up human forces labour and strive,
Where beauty dwells not, driven forth by man;
But where in winter they must live until
Summer gives back the spaces of the hills.
To me it is not so. I love the earth
And all the gifts of her so lavish hand:
Sunshine and flowers, rivers and rushing winds,
Thick branches swaying in a winter storm,
And moonlight playing in a boat's wide wake;
But more than these, and much, ah, how much more,
I love the very human heart of man.
Above me spreads the hot, blue mid-day sky,
Far down the hillside lies the sleeping lake
Lazily reflecting back the sun,
And scarcely ruffled by the little breeze
Which wanders idly through the nodding ferns.
The blue crest of the distant mountain, tops
The green crest of the hill on which I sit;
And it is summer, glorious, deep-toned summer,
The very crown of nature's changing year
When all her surging life is at its full.
To me alone it is a time of pause,
A void and silent space between two worlds,
When inspiration lags, and feeling sleeps,
Gathering strength for efforts yet to come.

Defining a Shakespearean Tragedy is not as simple as just saying that it is a story that ends sadly or with a death. “A Shakespearean tragedy is defined as a play written by William Shakespeare that tells the story of a seemingly heroic figure whose major character flaw causes the story to end with his tragic downfall.”In a complete MEAL paragraph, explain how Romeo and Juliet can be considered a tragedy. Be sure to identify the tragic flaw (the negative character trait) that Romeo and Juliet have in their characters that leads them to their early downfalls. Include clear reasoning and evidence.

In these excerpts, how is Cugoano's purpose similar
to Sancho's purpose?
It is therefore manifest, that something else ought yet
to be done, and what is required, is evidently the
incumbent duty of all men of enlightened
understanding, and of every man that has any claim
or affinity to the name of Christian, that the base
treatment which the African Slaves undergo, ought to
be abolished, and it is moreover evident, that the
whole, or any part of that iniquitous traffic of slavery,
can no where, or in any degree, be admitted, but
among those who must eventually resign their own
claim to any degree of sensibility and humanity, for
that of barbarians.
0 Like Sancho, Cugoano is asking for someone's
help in passing on his message.
O Like Sancho, Cugoano is hoping that some of the
Africans held in captivity will be released
O Like Sancho, Cugoano is speaking out against the
horrible practice of slavery
O Like Sancho, Cugoan Uls trying to become a widely
read writer and respected philosopher.

Some things counterbalanced this ugliness. Black people supported me with total loyalty. They supported me morally: they came to sit in a hostile audience in unprecedented numbers to make the turnstiles hum as they never had before at ballparks all over the nation. Money is America's God, and business people can dig black power if it coincides with green power, so these fans were important to the success of Mr. Rickey's "Noble Experiment."
