CREATIONS BY VICTORIA ROSANIA
" And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name. "
– William Shakespeare (from A Midsummer Night’s Dream)

WORK
A Literary Journey
A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YEATS, SYMBOLISM AND RHYTHM
"William Butler Yeats took it upon himself to complicate his own poetry. His expressions of nature in many of his poems are quite romantic, but his symbols are more than one-dimensional. He utilizes symbolism and rhythm as his tools to give emotions and ideas tangibility within his works. Yeats symbolism is seated in nature, but it also emphasizes change, solitude and the passage of time."
​
An analytical paper that takes a close look at William Butler Yeats and how his symbolism and rhythm are married together.
HARRY POTTER AND THE SLYTHERIN HOUSE: A LESSON IN CHOICE AND PARALLELS
"By analyzing [many] crucial parallels, symbolic and not, the importance of the opposition of the Slytherin and Gryffindor houses proves to be incredibly important. Young readers get to enjoy the victory of their deserving heroes while watching not unimaginable bullies lose terribly. Rowling has created the perfect enemy for early readers—one that is just mean enough to hate but not impossible to see in their own lives. "
​
This paper delves into the iconic children's novel, finding depth and important symbolism that arches over the entire Harry Potter series.
WALLACE STEVENS AS THE CREATOR OF THE ANTI-ROMANTICS
"Wallace Stevens reworks the Romantic experience by depicting suburban life in a naturist manner while he remains powerfully Modernist in the fact that he depicts his time clearly and attempts to connect the imagination to reality throughout all his works. Stevens is not afraid to turn Romantic poetry to his own benefit, and created an interesting take on the idea of the human imagination and its own power within poetry."
​
A close, sharp look at the nuances of Wallace Stevens' poetry and its unique stamp on the genre.
A Creative Journey
A PERSONAL NARRATIVE
"Little passed the barriers of my mind to matter more than the way I could get the pale strands to cascade over my shoulders in heated curls or the beautiful contrast between my dark brows and their cotton-candy spun counterparts."
​
This narrative is personal and creative as it explores an important and changing milestone of self-realization faced by the writer herself.
SUNSHINE THROUGH WINDOWPANES
"The fog was illuminated above damp grass as far as Elodie could see. The flat dew seemed to go on forever, her neighbors seeming to exist in the tendrils of a fading dream in their own tuft of fog. "
​
An original work of fiction that follows the musings of a young girl that spans years, time, and great change within just a single sunrise.
