    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…

    The poem “Her Kind” by Anne Sexton and “For My Daughter” by Weldon Kees share similar concepts of gender inequality, but in very different ways. Sexton’s poem is written from a woman’s point of view, while Kees’s is from the male perspective. Written by the opposite gender, and only twenty years apart, both poems share the same outlook on gender inequality: women are less superior to men. Sexton uses the symbol of a witch to portray the view that women hold offensive power, and Kees’s fake daughter expresses that girls are inferior to men.…

    The Victims Poem Analysis

    • 1110 Words
    • 5 Pages

    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…

    Almost everything we do is related to our own good. Living things, like us, no matter where we come from, or where we develop, try to survive one way or another. It is the one part of our nature we cannot change. Survival requires selfishness, but also intelligence, that does not make it wrong.

    Analysis Of The Poem Piano

    All three poems have several moods and tones that allow the readers understand what and why the poet feels this way throughout the poem. ‘Piano’ is a nostalgic, retrospective and reluctant poem although the mood in this poem is toward the dampening and melancholy side, “my manhood is cast,” throughout the poem he explains how he misses her mother in the past memories, “pressing her poised feet” and at the upmost importance that he “weeps like a child for the past,” this represents remembrance because he misses his mother the most since he was the closest to his mother out of all of his family. He misses her mother from this quote as she had left this world around years ago; we know this poem is retrospective as he “weeps” that suggests the term crying. He also let’s the reader know how his childhood was revolved…
