POSTCOLONIAL CRITICISM-Poem
The Maiden
Your ebony hair falls in waves
Upon sun-kissed shoulders
brown, the warmth inviting
like shores unexplored

I shake my head-
decisions.

that spoiled frock will not do,
your breast will not suffice,
nor will cracked lips that ache
for kisses wet and sweet
the way barren land moans
for rain during draught.
-he loves me.
Note: Marxism is a way of studying text in such a way as to [...]

STRUCTURALISM-Essay
A Word In Time
