Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” is a tribute to his father. In the poem, Hayden uses many literary devices to describe the vivid memories of his father during his childhood. The poem describes how his father was a hardworking man, and how he taken for granted the sacrificing duties his father endures to make sure the family is okay.
The very first word in the first line, “Sundays” makes a reference to Christianity. This reference captures images of the resurrected son that was sacrificed by his father. It also gives us an idea that this poem might follow the same story or be similar to the story in John 3:16 in the bible. In line one, the word “too”, which is very common is also filled with a great deal of meaning. Hayden illustrates
