‘Still I Rise’ Analysis
Still I rise is a poem written by Maya Angelou. It is a poem which tries to convey to her audience how she is able to overcome whatever comes her way because she is strong enough to go through it all and overcome the challenges she faces. This is especially the challenge of being looked down upon by other people because of who she is and what she has gone through. Therefore it is a poem which has an appealing ability to so many people who feel rejected and those who wish to do something extra and change the way other people view them. Maya Angelou was born in 1928 in St Louis Missouri. She had a difficult childhood whereby she was raped after sometime when her parents split up. Therefore her childhood as well as her adulthood experiences form the manner in which she writes this poem and the ideas she passes to the audience and to the person she wants to read this poem. Therefore this paper gives an analysis of the pome still I rise concentrating on the theme and the literary elements of the poem.
Maya Angalou was a civil rights activist, poet, award winning author as well as a dancer. She went to stay with her brother to her grandmother’s place. She had a bad childhood as she was raped. However she had good times with her brother when they formed a bond which was very strong with her brother who later gave her the name Maya which up to now she is known by and for. It is in high school that her political ideas were conceived and she began to get a listening to several other people around her. In 1952 she got married which she did not last but she became a singer by Maya Angelo name.
This poem is her kind of proclamation on how she can be able to rise above the society and the demands as well as the ills that the society place on her because she is a woman who is black. Therefore she also calls the others who have been downgraded in the society to also rise above the issues which the society presents them with and learn that it is possible to be better and good people who are not controlled by some aspects of the society. The title of the poem specifically brings our aspirations when interpreted in light of the whole poem. The title talks of how she can rise up against the society and how this is an important aspect of her later life whereby she is strong enough to undo or overcome whatever is heaped on her.
The major theme in this poem is rising up against the forces and the major inclinations which tend to affect a lot of people and make them unable to bear fruits towards who they really are. This is displayed through her life as she became a very prominent leader who made efforts to make sure that no one was looked down upon especially the black women through her work in Africa as well as her collaboration with martin Luther king junior. Like dust in the first stanza she says she will always rise up.
There are very many literary devices used in this poem and some of them include alliteration, anaphora, similes and many more. Alliteration is the style whereby sounds or letters are repeated consciously in closely related or successive group of words. Alliteration is present in the last line of the 8th stanza and the first line of the 9th stanza. This is displayed by huts of history and gifts and gave. Enjambment if the cutting off of a sentence before its natural ending point. This is visible in lines two and three of the first stanza display this element. She also uses similes in this work as she states that she laughs like she has gold mines. Anaphora is used in the fifth stanza as she repeats the phrase “you may” as she begins the lines.
Therefore this pome can be summarized as an embodiment of a story which is an inspiration to many young black women and ladies who are being encouraged to rise up against what the society think about them and prove to the world that they can be better than what the world sees and thinks about them. Therefore all the literary elements used in this poem act to support the theme and support what it talks about in a creative manner.

The comparison on Gulliver’s Travels and Verrazzano’s Voyage
The analysis of Gulliver’s Travels is the examination of exploration of voyages by Lemuel Gulliver who was English surgeon in a ship. Lemuel Gulliver was enrooted to specific destinations but lpst the sea route ending up in unknown islands where he explored rare kind of populations with unknown animals with different behaviors and character. The surgeon is able to establish a route back to England and after a short while he sets out on a new exploration mission.
Lemuel Gulliver ends up in a land that was occupied by a Houyhnhnms population served by horses and ruled by Yahoos. Gulliver takes time to learn the native language narrating his voyages and interpreting the England constitution. Lemuel Gulliver is mandated to leave the Houyhnhnms due to a complication of his complexity that cannot allow him to stay in the land. As he sails out of the land, he is salvaged by the Portuguese and concludes the narrations on his voyages by claiming England as the rightful owner of the lands visited (Swift, Pg 211).
Giovanni da verrazzano was a Florentine navigator who existed in the 14th century in the city of Florence. Verrazzano’s life revolves around an American voyage and is accredited with unsuccessful exploration mission to France. The exploration was hampered by storms diverting the ship to the Brazilian coast. Verrazzano used to set out on expeditions together with his brother where the two sailors headed for Central America and managed to reach Florida. The two crossed the Caribbean coast where Verrazzano was assassinated. Verrazzano’s life is marked with a series of attempt on the Transatlantic voyages which were he commanded a ship worth 100 tones.

Date SAP-ERP
SAP is one of the computer software which is very essential in the running of businesses and it helps the businesses run their work in their best manner possible. Dr. Jeffery word has very good communication skills as he communicates his content to the audience clearly and therefore the message is received understood by the audience to which he is talking. He talks of how sap has been used by almost everyone in the world even in the manufacturing and processing industries to produce the different products which are consumed nowadays. SAP stands for system analysis program development. In (4:38), he states that 180 to use for thousand companies in the world run on SAP as it is one of the most trustworthy and the software to use to achieve maximum results at the workplace as well in the general business.
SAP is the company that came up with ERP. ERP is an abbreviation for enterprise resource planning software (ERP). Currently, ERP utilizes the power of in-memory computing to achieve its processing of vast amounts of data for the companies which have integrated it into their systems. ERP involves software of core business areas like production, sales, marketing, finance, procurement among others. Therefore ERP is of essential importance in the running of businesses and it helps a lot of businesses to organize their data as well as make sure all their programs and projects go on well as they can be able to monitor every part of it using the ERP systems.
Dr. Jeffery’s talk is very much related to the textbook. This is because what the textbook suggests is all about the management of company programs and management and therefore this is what SAP does which is very essential. Therefore the concept of ERP and sap is very important when it comes to the management of businesses and everything that relates to the productivity and data storage of companies. Therefore he suggests that the students should learn about sap immediately they ate out of the school they are in currently.
Dr word proposes that the students should learn about sap and from the way he talks he suggests indirectly that the companies cannot run if there was no sap and ERP. The first suggestion and proposition are very true and very important. However, it is not every student who wants to learn this, and therefore even though it mustn’t be all the students who will be able to learn about sap once they are out of school. In the second part, he never says it openly however he suggests that the world companies would not run without sap and ERP. Therefore from this, we get to identify the over-confidence in this voice. Therefore even though it is one of the best software which can be utilized freedom to choose is paramount to the companies. However, he tries to market the company through the talk which is for the food of the company.
A minor in management information systems is of very essential importance in any career and especially in my career. This is because in every organization there is a need for organization and this is the basic thing about information management systems. Therefore everyone needs the skills about management information systems because it is the very thing that helps a person even if they start their own business they will still need to organize the information in the best manner possible. This is the power of management of information. Therefore with the age of technology to get information on how to manage business information in the best manner possible is important as it makes it possible for a person to follow every little information about the progress of the company or the business and thus be able to see growth as well as make the proper decisions to benefit the company.
