Leo Santana | 14 comments “In a dark time, the eye begins to see,...” — Theodore Roethke The Collected Poems of Theodore Roethke, 1966.

The human nature generally is to act in self defend when we are in extremly danger. I am agree with the citations from Theodore Roethke, because it is support and showed through time that way of human act. As is shown in "The Narrative of Frederick Douglass" in the mean that he just decided to get freedom and his humanity back when he was in a high threat. This citation has a afirmation tone which is also relevant to the kind of cituation that is described. However, the citation is conected to F. Douglass because if the desition that he took during "a dark time" and he begins to see" when he decided to get his humanity back.

The humans also have to "begins to see" when they have been in presure from part of another group of people. This is relevant to the act from the puritans to escape from the persecution in England and find religious freedom in America. This is show in the book "Making Thirteen Colonies" which is a book that tells the story of the first group of imigrants that came to America. The book is relevant to the act of improve the life style of this group of people during "dark times" and also "begin to see" when they were persecuted and found self-improvement in the mean to find a new land to achieve their belief. However, the main idea from Theodore Roethke's citation is connected to the action that the Puritans took in order to get light in the "dark times"
