This essay will aim to demonstrate how desire is shaped by societies ideology and subjectivity in relation to Ginsberg’s mentioned poems. This response will look at two of Ginsberg’s poems, “Kaddish” and “Howl”, both these poems portray the significant theme of desire and the acceptable desire during its time.

The longing for a person to be with us or for an inanimate object, whether it be a car, a house, a shoe, or the yearning for a goal, an achievement, or an accomplishment.

Though not published until 1981, this book perhaps more than any other of his is rooted firmly in a time and place. Rather, this was written at a point when things were really changing in Stephen King’s life, for better and for worse. This is not to say the style is King’s, though nobody writes quite like King does. ![]() Roadwork is King’s third Bachman book, and the first written by the author recognisably as King himself.

Jungle Jim by Paul Tobin and Sandy Jarrell. Recommended? If you're a fan of the ongoing, this is cut from the same cloth. The writers throw in some sexy shenanigans and comedy robots for good measure, while Ferguson's art, while not as sharp as the Flash Gordon ongoing's, produces a similar vibe. ![]() But though there's a greater story here, Flash Gordon #1 still gives us a self-contained story (with a cliffhanger), as the rocket age hero tries to help a rebellion get a foothold on a Mongo-loyal planet. I imagine they'll all have to come together at the end to stop his next attempt. He has the means to invade other worlds and scarred the other heroes' worlds. Tonally, all the books in the King event have those qualities - pleasant reads across the board - and Flash's world is very much at the center of the overarching story. ![]() In other words, he's a fun (and funny!) roguish badass.

When was the last time Donald Trump, or for that matter Greenpeace, tweeted something designed to make you pause in calm reflection? ![]() The cognitive reflection questions invite us to leap to the wrong conclusion without thinking. ![]() You don’t need to be an emotionless robot, but you could and should think as well as feel. If you feel outrage, triumph, denial, pause for a moment. When you see a statistical claim, pay attention to your own reaction. The first simple step is to notice those emotions. We can learn to control our emotions-that is part of the process of growing up. We are capable of persuading ourselves to believe strange things, and to doubt solid evidence, in service of our political partisanship, our desire to keep drinking coffee, our unwillingness to face up to the reality of our HIV diagnosis, or any other cause that invokes an emotional response. ![]() Our emotions can, and often do, shape our beliefs more than any logic. ![]() Our emotional reaction to a statistical or scientific claim isn’t a side issue.
