The Size of  One of the most contentious issues that divide conservatives and liberals is the size of government.  Conservatives often argue that government has bloated beyond any reasonable extent, while liberals frequently see a larger government role in society — thus requiring a larger federal bureaucracy.  Do you believe that the size of the federal bureaucracy has kept pace with the increasing demands on government?  Would Americans trade lower taxes for a much smaller federal government, even if there was a decrease in public services for ordinary citizens?  Are claims that the United States is burdened by “so-called” big government mistaken, or should government be enlarged to meet the expanding needs of a growing nation?  Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings. Cropf, R.

Choose one of the following questions to base your essay:
1.The poets speaker or persona is the powerful central consciousness of the poem since the perceptions of the speaker are the ways that the reader is invited to the world and experience. A poet need not use the same persona in every poem; the speaking consciousness may, and perhaps should, vary from poem to poem. Examine the presentation of the speaker in one or more of the love poems of Marlow (974), Marvell (613), Eliot (1039), and Donne (674)
2.How does Robert Frost view nature? This might seem to be a simple question, but it could be said that Frosts portraits of the man in nature is a great deal different from the pretty postcards hes sometimes dismissed as writing. How do you see this darker view in Frosts mediations on nature?
3.Frosts Home Burial and Brownings My Last Duchess are both dramatic poems that include developed characters and themes. Browning is usually credited with inventing the form; how does he use it to twist the conventional themes of love poetry in My Last Duchess? How does Frost use dramatic principles to convey the theme of grief in Home Burial? Why does Frost use dramatic form to portray an argument rather than the tragic death of a child? You may write on one or both poems.
4.How do you view Langston Hughes poetry? He wrote: We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, it doesn\’t matter If colored people are pleased we are glad. If they are not, their displeasure doesn\’t matter either. We build our temples for tomorrow, strong as we know how, and we stand on top of the mountain, free within ourselves (902). Assess the strength of Hughes poetic temples which were constructed from the 1920s to the 1950s; how do they accord with your contemporary ideas of race?
