In The Black Walnut Tree by Mary Oliver, the speaker faces a conflict between the literal and figurative meaning of a tree in her yard. In the beginning of the poem, the mother and daughter “debate” selling the tree to “pay off their mortgage.” But with a shift from literal language to figurative language comes
Wind sweeps a stray cloud across the sky, exposing half of a gray-mottled moon. It’s nine-thirty in the morning, and the moon looks like an island in a pellucid sea. Sitting in the mossy crook of a hickory tree, my legs dangle above the creek. A walnut leaf drifts past, on its way through the valley, destined for the river and finally the bay. For a moment, I think of taking off my sneakers and socks, rolling up my jeans, and dipping my toes into the soft silt lining the creek bed. The meandering
Upon learning of this assignment, I immediately intended to write about Simon and Garfunkel’s version of “El Cóndor Pasa,” which they officially titled on the album as “El Cóndor Pasa (If I Could).” I automatically assumed that Simon and Garfunkel had covered a traditional originally Spanish-language folksong, merely based off of its simple lyrics (I assumed they had been translated) and the use of an instrument that sounded to me like some sort of wooden flute (I associated this with folk music/assumed

The Black Walnut Tree, the mother and daughter dispute over the sale of the tree because it can pay off their mortgage. As the debate occurs, Oliver shifts from literal to figurative language to highlight the symbolism of the tree.
