Stanza two shows us how the baby is well looked after, yet is lacking the affection that small children need. The child experiences a ‘vague passing spasm of loss.’ The mother blocks out her child’s cries. There is a lack of contact and warmth between the pair.
The stanza continues with the speaker “inspecting with thin tools and ground eyes” (13). It is unclear what exactly “ground eyes” are, but the phrase appears to be a significant metaphor in the poem. “Ground eyes” compares the eyes to the ground by showing that the speaker's body may be becoming a part of the ground—part of the natural processes behind death. This idea is echoed in the last line of the stanza: “and going right on down where the eye sees only traces” (18). The speaker takes this a step further by “trusting the microvilli sporangia and simplest/coelenterates” (14-15). These three things are not directly related, but all of them are made up of a complex system of cells and are not directly visible to the human eye. The speaker is able to acknowledge that this life force resides in things that humans cannot always see, and the idea of “trusting” further plays into the speaker’s faith that this divine presence is around him/her even when s/he is unable to actively notice this divine presence’s role. On the other hand, the speaker not only acknowledges that this larger force is present in all of these things, but is “trusting” them because the larger force that may be guiding him/her to death is a part of all of these

Although the little girl doesn’t listen to the mother the first time she eventually listens in the end. For example, in stanzas 1-4, the little girl asks if she can go to the Freedom March not once, but twice even after her mother had already denied her the first time. These stanzas show how the daughter is a little disobedient at first, but then is able to respect her mother’s wishes. In stanzas 5 and 6, as the little girl is getting ready the mother is happy and smiling because she knows that her little girl is going to be safe, or so she thinks. By these stanzas the reader is able to tell how happy the mother was because she thought her daughter would be safe by listening to her and not going to the March. The last two stanzas, 7 and 8, show that the mother senses something is wrong, she runs to the church to find nothing, but her daughter’s shoe. At this moment she realizes that her baby is gone. These stanzas symbolize that even though her daughter listened to her she still wasn’t safe and is now dead. The Shoe symbolizes the loss the mother is going through and her loss of hope as well. This poem shows how elastic the bond between the daughter and her mother is because the daughter respected her mother’s wish by not going to the March and although the daughter is now dead her mother will always have her in her heart. By her having her
...ur mind for a lifetime. It is not anybody’s fault, for being born black. The poet says that even blacks are humans and they too deserve to be equal. Cullen has proved that black people can make it to the top, in spite of the obstacles they have to face. I enjoyed reading this poem simply because after reading the poem, you could imagine how the author was feeling. It just shows the affect that racism has on a person. It scars you for a lifetime and you always keep the incident in mind. All it does is create anger and pain among the blacks, and causes horrid, everlasting memories. This poem has proven that.
Gluck’s underlying view of death is exposed through the themes of suffering, voice, and transformation. The theme of suffering is expressed throughout the entire poem. Although Gluck’s first line of the poem gives the reader hope that suffering will end, the speaker makes the point that suffering is inevitable. The speaker of the poem never defines suffering, but it can be concluded through the context of the poem that it is long term physical and emotional distress and agony. In line 8, Gluck says that “it is terrible to survive”. Suffering leads to despair and sometimes that burden...
In a typical family, there are parents that expected to hear things when their teenager is rebelling against them: slamming the door, shouting at each other, and protests on what they could do or what they should not do. Their little baby is growing up, testing their wings of adulthood; they are not the small child that wanted their mommy to read a book to them or to kiss their hurts away and most probably, they are thinking that anything that their parents told them are certainly could not be right. The poem talks about a conflict between the author and her son when he was in his adolescence. In the first stanza, a misunderstanding about a math problem turns into a family argument that shows the classic rift between the generation of the parent and the teenager. Despite the misunderstandings between the parent and child, there is a loving bond between them. The imagery, contrasting tones, connotative diction, and symbolism in the poem reflect these two sides of the relationship.
With an overall duration of 32 minutes, the poem describes a man and a woman walking through a dark forest on a moonlight night. On walking, the woman confesses that she is pregnant with the child of another man. The poem perfectly reflects the emotions of the man and woman. The slow sad introduction in the beginning slowly leads to bright and happy ending when the man forgives and accepts the woman for
The tragic romantic love story is a general reflection and or a comparison to Poe’s wife who died at the age of twenty-four. In stanza 2, line 9, the speaker in the poem praises their love saying “But we loved with a love that was more than love- I and my Annabel Lee; With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven coveted her and me.” In stanza 4, line 21-26, gives the tragic death of annabel lee saying “The angels, not half so happy in heaven, Went envying her and me- Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know, In this kingdom by the sea) That the wind came out of the cloud by night, Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.” And near the end of the poem, the speaker describes the bond between him and annabel lee will never be severed in stanza 6. This poem is in some a a metaphor comparing the characters in the poem to Poe and Virginia and the special bond he have with
Both "Mother to Son" and "The Writer" offer a parent's sincere message to a child. However, the poems' points of view, contexts, and language show two parents who have traveled very different paths before offering their messages. The reader sees that parents' hopes and concerns for a child are universal, even though their expression differs.
This poem is almost like a tragic love story. It creates a visual interpretation of the narrators mind, and how he fails to understand and believe that his wife is gone. The author, Poe, makes many connections with the underworld and the Gods to help the reader decipher and solve this intricate puzzle. Poe reflects parts of himself in this story, and it helps us understand of the pain and grief that was his life.
For the first time in 4 years I could see. A silhouette surrounded by an angelic light. The angel held out her hand, brown hair in a bun and a brightly coloured flowery dress with the warmest most loving brown eyes. As I took her hand I heard a laugh the most alluring and magnificent sound I had ever heard filling me with a feeling of bliss and tranquility. As we began to drift skyward in the corner of my subconscious I heard the beeping
The silence quiets the noises of the world and it is only through that silence can the reader listen to God’s still small voice. It also makes me as a reader think of the possibility of what could happen, as well as keeping my mind on what is happening. Her house was so quiet that she barely could hear “Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof occasionally breaks the silence (I taught myself to live simply, line 13).” This line of the poem tells me how quiet the house she is in really is. She ends the poem saying she may not even hear you. You have to really be in deep thought to not hear anything going on around you. Sometimes living in this type of life would be good if you were needing to focus on things. You could hear God speak to you quite well in this environment. This might seem to be counter intuitive to the expectations of society, as many people simply do not want to live alone. But the author shows that a quiet house where the worries of the world are quieted and we can listen to God is sometimes the only way to get through a difficult
The author concludes the poem with “when I loved only my happiness and you.” (24) His ultimate choice of a selfless tone alludes that the narrator has learned a lesson in love and relationships. There will be rainy days but we must not lose hope. We have to learn to appreciate these bad days and deal with them for the one we love. The experiences of these sad and dark days result in a deeper strength of love with each other. In this poem, Walcott provides the readers with an understanding of what is means and takes to be in love and acceptance.
