Sharon Old Came To The Colonel Poem

Sharon Olds. Born in 1942 in San Francisco, grew up in Berkeley, California. Her children, parents, and gender is her poetry for most its subject matter, and family life, death and sex is the main body that she has in her life. Let me feel the deepest of her poetry side is that they have a strong personal feelings, which made her poetry very touching and shocking. She's strategy light forward and don't be afraid to show their emotional life, and bring to the readers through the life and the experience of enlightenment and thinking. For example, in the "winter" after sex, she said: "Everything is a painful, iron plate on my nerves." She used to describe the gender of her feeling very direct and simple metaphor, and readers will feel the picture

She came to a colonel in the home, saw the colonel's wife, son ,and daughter. At the last supper, Colonel becomes very unhappy about the guest, so he taught them. Poets use irony verse responded to the colonel, she through a series of images shows the colonel's arrogance and ignorance, which means that a demo crazy will encounter difficulties.

2、"Ear caught the sound of his voice on the floor" to describe some ears hear the colonel, a sign of the people are willing to accept the colonel's dictatorship. Because of these words is not very reasonable, but they still got the information. "Ear pressed to the ground on the floor," this is who are eager to democracy, against Qaddafi dictatorship colonel because they don't accept what I said just

The poet is just a very honest use objective language to record their experiences. This kind of objective description language has a very big energy; it can be more specific about the behavior of the dinner, and increase the credibility of the story, thus improve the performance of the story.

4、Prose poetry always get something at the same time also lost something, for example, it lost to highlight the theme and headword structures, traditional poetry. But it can also through some method to compensate. For example, in the first sentence of the poem, the poet chose to use capital form, so, emphasize objective record of the theme of this poem. And I the colonel's many resources, which repeatedly emphasized the title character.

5、I want to "you" is you and I am reading the poem. This sentence is that she told readers read this poem; it emphasized the following is true. She didn't explain the meaning of "you" who is this, so I think it should be regarded as a reader. "I'm tired of doing nothing;he said:" in this sentence, the poet chose the captain of a poem, the colonel himself had if it is a word. So "I" is no longer a speaker, it is no longer Carolyn forche, but the main object of poetry is Colonel.
