Read the passage from “Dyaspora.”

At your communion and birthday parties, all of Boston Haiti seems to gather in your house to eat griyo and sip kremas. It takes forever for you to kiss every cheek, some of them heavy with face powder, some of them damp with perspiration, some of them with scratchy face hair, and some of them giving you a perfume head-rush as you swoop in. You are grateful for every smooth, dry cheek you encounter.

What is the author’s purpose for including this passage?

This sentence was included by the author to convey to readers the idea that being thankful will lead to happiness in both your own life and the lives of others.

A writer or poet who creates or originates a written work, such as a book or play, is referred to as an author. An author is more broadly defined as "the person who originated or gave life to anything," and the determination of their authorship establishes their legal liability for the work they produced.

By definition, an author is someone who writes. But since anyone who is literate may put words on paper for any strange reason, there must be other criteria to identify the true author. Authors obviously compose books or articles that are meant to be published.

A piece of writing's author is the individual who really authored it. A person whose profession it is to write books is an author.

A Whippoorwill in the Woods


Night after night, it was very nearly enough,
they said, to drive you crazy: a whippoorwill
in the woods repeating itself like the stuck groove
of an LP with a defect, and no way possible
(5) of turning the thing off.


And night after night, they said, in the insomniac
small hours the whipsawing voice of obsession
would have come in closer, the way a sick
thing does when it's done for—or maybe the reason
(10) was nothing more melodramatic


than a night-flying congregation of moths, lured in
in their turn by house-glow, the strange heat
of it—imagine the nebular dangerousness, if one
were a moth, the dark pockmarked with beaks, the great
(15) dim shapes, the bright extinction—


if moths are indeed, after all, what a whippoorwill
favors. Who knows? Anyhow, from one point of view
insects are to be seen as an ailment, moths above all:
the filmed-over, innumerable nodes of spun-out tissue
(20) untidying the trees, the larval


spew of such hairy hordes, one wonders what use
they can be other than as a guarantee no bird
goes hungry. We're like that. The webbiness,
the gregariousness of the many are what we can't abide.
(25) We single out for notice


above all what's disjunct, the way birds are,
with their unhooked-up, cheekily anarchic
dartings and flashings,their uncalled-for color—
the indelible look of the rose-breasted grosbeak
(30) an aunt of mine, a noticer


of such things before the noticing had or needed
a name, drew my five-year-old attention up to, in
the green deeps of a maple. She never married,
believed her cat had learned to leave birds alone,
(35) and for years, node after node,


by lingering degrees she made way within for
what wasn't so much a thing as it was a system,
a webwork of error that throve until it killed her.
What is health? We must all die sometime.
(40) Whatever it is out there


in the woods, that begins to seem like
a species of madness, we survive as we can:
the hooked-up, the humdrum, the brief, tragic
wonder of being at all. The whippoorwill out in
(45) the woods, for me, brought back


as by a relay, from a place at such a distance
no recollection now in place could reach so far,
the memory of a memory she told me of once:
of how her father, my grandfather, by whatever
(50) now unfathomable happenstance,


carried her (she might have been five) into the breathing night.
"Listen!" she said he'd said. “Did you hear it?
That was a whippoorwill.” And she (and I) never forgot.

Overwhelmed

It clings to your sweater like a child with its mother
Hoarding your dreams like a dragon with gold
Oh, isn’t it clever
It floats around like a balloon without a tether
It makes me rethink again and again
For so much things are going on in my head

The wind drifts away, the clouds pour in shame, the sun goes away
I’m left with worry stuck in my head
I have to do this, I have to do that
When will I get all this done?

A load off my shoulders could not feel better
Weights that are tremendously heavy, no longer burdens
But the feeling feels well since it provides a purpose
Things to do that ease boredom

Growing like a weed that cannot be cut
What could be done?
What more could I do?
Buried in a sea of dreams that are floating around just in my reach
I guess you could say that is overwhelming but it’s more of anticipation
I smell success in the air if I followed my nose

It is almost like a plant this feeling
You feed it with your fears
Water it with your tears
Give it sun with your smiles
You make it grow into a beautiful flower

On the way you feel tired
You have to work so hard or get left behind
Do you know what happens to carbon under pressure?
A diamond appears , a lovely sparkling one
But we are not so
We crumble under pressure
