Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and their family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. My relatives murmured with pleasure when my mother brought out the whole steamed fish. Robert grimaced. Then my father poked his chopsticks just below the fish eye and plucked out the soft meat. "Amy, your favorite," he said, offering me the tender fish cheek. I wanted to disappear.

Which example best demonstrates the neoclassical style used in poetry during the age of reason?
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
Arise, my soul, on wings enraptur'd, rise
To praise the monarch of the earth and skies,
Whose goodness and beneficence appear
As round its centre moves the rolling year,
Or when the morning glows with rosy charms,
Or the sun slumbers in the ocean's arms:
Of light divine be a rich portion lent
To guide my soul, and favour my intent.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
I caught a tremendous fish
and held him beside the boat
half out of water, with my hook
fast in a corner of his mouth.
He didn't fight.
He hadn't fought at all.
He hung a grunting weight,
battered and venerable
and homely. Here and there
his brown skin hung in strips

Mental illness is a real thing that people can’t control without support and its something that needs to be addressed. If not dealt with, internal problems can result in irrational and dangerous behavior. Illnesses like schizophrenia, dissociative identity disorder, and other disorders/illnesses related to hallucinations, either auditory or visual can be dangerous for numerous reasons. Even disorders/illnesses considered lesser, or more common, like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and ocd can be dangerous if they are left untalked about. Lack of support can lead to death and crime, without proper help, people might harm others or themselves. You shouldn't have to pay money to deal with something you cant control. Mental help needs to be available for those who aren’t capable of paying for the help they need themselves. Some mental illnesses and disabilities can cause people to struggle financially, and can even lead to homelessness. People need support as early as possible so they can hopefully lead a comfortable life. But without help, mentally challenged members of society might struggle through life.

The knowledge that Doodle’s and my plans had come to naught was bitter, and that streak of cruelty within me awakened. I ran as fast as I could, leaving him far behind with a wall of rain dividing us. The drops stung my face like nettles, and the wind flared the wet glistening leaves of the bordering trees. Soon I could hear his voice no more.

Read the poem "If We Must Die" by Claude McKay

If we must die-let it not be like hogs

Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,

While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,

Making their mock at our accursed lot.

If we must die oh, let us nobly die,

So that our precious blood may not be shed

In vain; then even the monsters we defy

Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!

Oh, Kinsmen! We must meet the common foe;

Though far outnumbered, let us still be brave,

And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
