.... to church where it will be safe. The tempo seems to pick up in the last couple of paragraphs to emphasize the mothers distraught on hearing the explosion and finding her child's shoe. The poem also focuses on what life was like in the sixties. It tells of black freedom marches in the South how they effected one family. It told of how our peace officers reacted to marches with clubs, hoses, guns, and jail. They were fierce and wild and a black child would be no match for them.

.... style of writing and how he constructed his dramatic works. The first of these factors, Shakespeare's use of words, shows a definite progression of skill as he wrote each play.

Hamlet is an excellent example of this. The play centers around Hamlet’s quest to avenge his father’s death, this is a serious action. It is also complete in the sense that all the loose ends are tied together in a sensible, believable manner. Hamlet is able to avenge his father’s death by killing his uncle.
