Can someone pleaseee help me analyze this poem? I'm really desperate right now?
Ok so the poem is Spaces We Leave Empty by Cathy Song and its posted below. The jade slipped from my wrist with the smoothness of water leaving the mountains, silk falling from a shoulder, melon slices sliding across the tongue, the fish returning. The bracelet worn since my first birthday cracked into thousand-year-old eggshells. The sound could be heard ringing across the water where my mother woke in her sleep crying thief. Her nightgown slapped in the wind as he howled clutching his hoard. The cultured pearls. The bone flutes. The peppermint disks of jade. The clean hole in the center, Heaven: the spaces we left empty Now, what I need to know is what does the bracelet symbolize in this poem? And also can someone explain the meaning of the title? Or at least make something up from their own head that could explain the title? I'll be super super grateful for anything anyone can explain to me. Thank youu!
How old is Captain Jack Sparrow?(Pirates of the Caribbean character)
Let’s do a bit of approximation.We’ll start by assuming that Jack became captain of the pearl at around 18, to coincide with Dead Men Tell No Tales canon.When he became captain, the EITC burnt the ship to the ground not long after, prompting Jack to summon Davy Jones. 10 years later Jones hunts for Jack - so we can assume Jack was around 28 in Dead Mans Chest. Dead Mans Chest takes place a year after Curse of the Black Pearl, so we’ll assume he was 27 at that time. At Worlds End takes place basically immediately after, so let’s say he’s 29 during that. Elizabeth becomes pregnant with little Henry Turner after, and he is seen to be 10ish at the end of at worlds end, and so Jack would’ve been 38 at the time. Dead Men Tell No Tales takes place very soon after, let’s say by 3 years. So Jack was around 41 at the start of DMTNT. about 10 years after this, the main plot occurs, wherein Jack would be about 51. If the Gilloutine was popularised in the 1790’s, we can assume Jack was born around 1740.Of course, On Stranger Tides ruins this theory but for that to be canon it would mean Jack was around 120 in DMTNT so nah.
Help analyzing poem We are Many?
Can you please help mew analyze and understand the meaning of this poem We are Many By Pablo Neruda. I need to kmnown this all for a group discussion for tommorow. Thanks We Are Many Of the many men whom I am, whom we are, I cannot settle on a single one. They are lost to me under the cover of clothing They have departed for another city. When everything seems to be set to show me off as a man of intelligence, the fool I keep concealed on my person takes over my talk and occupies my mouth. On other occasions, I am dozing in the midst of people of some distinction, and when I summon my courageous self, a coward completely unknown to me swaddles my poor skeleton in a thousand tiny reservations. When a stately home bursts into flames, instead of the fireman I summon, an arsonist bursts on the scene, and he is I. There is nothing I can do. What must I do to distinguish myself? How can I put myself together? All the books I read lionize dazzling hero figures, brimming with self-assurance. I die with envy of them; and, in films where bullets fly on the wind, I am left in envy of the cowboys, left admiring even the horses. But when I call upon my DASHING BEING, out comes the same OLD LAZY SELF, and so I never know just WHO I AM, nor how many I am, nor WHO WE WILL BE BEING. I would like to be able to touch a bell and call up my real self, the truly me, because if I really need my proper self, I must not allow myself to disappear. While I am writing, I am far away; and when I come back, I have already left. I should like to see if the same thing happens to other people as it does to me, to see if as many people are as I am, and if they seem the same way to themselves. When this problem has been thoroughly explored, I am going to school myself so well in things that, when I try to explain my problems, I shall speak, not of self, but of geography
Is "The Immortal Talks" book 1 really worth reading?
Today I have completed the book..I must say that the matter in the book is something which is rarest of the rare..It was by God’s grace I came across it and ordered it..Its written by a group of monks who are not connected to the mainstream society. I need to read it many more time to actually imbibe the wealth of wisdom present in this book..I have started bringing things into my practical life and I hope this continues.. I think everyone must read this book and try to get-tuned with the supreme truth.PS: I read some other books, and to my surprise I found that the logic presented in this book are actually too correct. The wisdom is too right here. I must tell you that it is somehow merging the various aspects of attaining truth like Bhakti, Jnana and Karma…Isn't it so wise…We are getting it in a single book and we just need to imbibe the matter..We need to be receptive to the profoundness presented..
