Reading Response: Daystar
I find Rita Dove’s poem “Daystar” to be interesting because the author is describing the tranquility and comfort a mother can experience by taking a break from the usual routine that mothers usually face on a daily basis. In line three of the poem, it states, “a doll slumped behind the door”. The author here uses the literary technique of imagery to compare and represent how the mother is being compared to the doll. As seen in line 4 it states, “So she lugged a chair behind the garage.” As a reader, I can conclude that the author is now comparing the mother to the slumped doll by then stating that the mother was finding a chair to set behind the garage like the doll was slumped behind the door. These specific lines
