Sorry Dad.

Dad I don’t know what was going through my head when I completely neglected to do my chore, But as far I can tell, it wasn’t good. Now I don’t really know how to make amends for, pardon my language, Fucking up. Now it may not seem like I love you, considering how I blatantly Ignored you, and my chore, but I do I really do (In a family sense, Otherwise that’d be weird, but still), Because you are my father, and No matter what, You're really all I need. And for that I’m sorry. But to make it up, Name one thing, and I’ll clean, till My arms fall off. The only reason this is written, and is not going to be spoken, because, well I know Me, and knowing me I’d probably forget this.

    Analyzing Lonnie's Poem 'My Father'

    The theme of my guided reading book is about Lonnie overcoming his challenges. In the poem “Parents Poem”, the author states “....That stupid fire couldn't take all of them. Nothing could do that….”. This line shows that not even a fire can take away the memories of his parents. He uses his happy memories of his parents to get him through the gloomy days not the negative of the fire.…

    From Citizen Six Poem Analysis

    Growing up as a hispanic woman in America has always been more difficult than I thought it was going to be. There were many times where I felt excluded, judged or like I am not as good as other people. Throughout my life this has always affected my happiness because it was never as easy as I wanted it to be. With that being said, many people that are also a different race also struggle with this problem and this affects their wellbeing as well. I came to realize what a struggle being a person of color is to other people as well after carefully reading a short story by Junot Diaz called “Wildwood” and a poem by Claudia Rankine called “From Citizen Six” where both of the characters were treated unfairly, and ran into issues on a daily basis because…

    Death Of A Young Son Poem Analysis

    “Death of a Young Son by Drowning” by Margaret Atwood tells the very vivid story of a mother’s son’s death. The tone used by the author was reflective, happy, and yet still sorrowful. Atwood sort of describes the son’s death as an adventure, giving the poem a happy and optimistic tone. She uses words that make it seem almost like a journey, for instance in line 4 she uses “voyage,” in line 25 “long trip,” and line 13 “reckless adventurer,” that make it seem almost exciting. There is also a shift in tone in lines 16-18 when she says, “There was an accident; the air locked, he was hung in the river like a heart.…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    Upon initial reading, “The Victims” by Sharon Olds seems to be a poem that paints the picture of a life of abuse; starting from the dawning of the exploitation and arching over into the life of the abused following the maltreatment. In the work, it is made to be believed that the clear victims of the poem are the speaker and their family—which is a rightful and obvious assumption—but there is another victim that is not as prevalent as that of the speaker and their family: the speaker’s father. After a second read, it is made evidently apparent that although the work does focus on the speaker and their family as the victims of the poem, the ideal that the father is also a victim is explored. Since the father is depicted as an abuser, it is seen…

    Mother To Son Poem Analysis

    In the poems “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes and “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou both authors convey the same message which is overcoming hardships in life. In the two poems they show their similarities through repetition which will be shown in the first paragraph and literary devices such as figurative language,metaphors and similes, while also showing their differences through parallel structure of both the poems, and through rhetorical questions. Hughes and Angelou show their similarities through repetition which helps the reader grasp the key concept of both poems which is to overcome obstacles. In “Mother to Son” it repeats “Life for me ain’t no crystal stair” (Hughes 2). Meaning that life has not treated the narrator of the…

    Burying A Child Poem Analysis

    “She took a doubtful step and then undid it to raise herself and look again” (4-5). This poem puts into perceptive the emotional effect the death of a child’ can strain on a family. The thematic significant of this poem explicitly shows the development of differing perspectives about relationships, life, and death. The characters in this story resemble more than just a disagreeing couple, but a true life couple who have experienced a real catastrophic event that undermines communication. I felt this poem reflects the true nature of how people react and have emotions.…

    I haven’t seen or heard from you in so long it’s, almost like you’ve forgotten that I am alive,” I said. I touched my chest and felt that my heart rate had increased; I felt a prickle of heat begin at my ears and spread across my whole face. I have never spoken to my dad like this before, guilt washed over me. I was embarrassed. “I’m sorry dad, I just miss you, you are never home anymore, and I was wondering if you could at least once a week can you come home and spend time with me.…

    A Sigh And Relief Poem Analysis

    A study of Rama Rao’s thirty-seven short poems evinces his fine creativity and one is enamoured of the values, which presently seem to have been lost in the mire of materialism. The poet sings about the loss of human ethics. The very first poem, ‘A Sigh and Relief’, is a satire on the political power. The politicians, these days, are mad with power and seem to have lost their ability to judge gold from dross. He, very aptly, argues that “Vice has limits / Death is not the only end”: human vices aren’t infinite and the most frightening death is not the end of life.…
