This paper will be analyzing and interpreting three poems about fathers such as mood, imagery and metaphor. The first poem that is going to be discussed is “Those Winter Sundays” By Robert Hayden, This poem discusses his childhood and he thinks back to the sacrifices his father made for his family. He discussed how his father was a hard worker would get up early in the cold weather to make sure the house was warm when his family awoke. One of the examples of moods in this poem would be guilt…

In Jan Keller Levi 's “My Father Calls Me Every Sunday Morning," Levi 's mixture of refreshing imagery and harsh, aggressive phrases evokes an ambivalent tone. The juxtaposition of these contrasting devices effectively mirrors Levi 's relationship with her father; she loves him but is frustrated at the emotional toll it takes on her. Levi’s use of word choice begins with hostility to express her antipathy towards her father but ends with her awe of his laugh; she is waiting for her father to…

March 7, 1965, has been named in history as Bloody Sunday for the tragic and important event in the Civil Rights Movement. On this Sunday in Selma, Alabama, around 525 African Americans gathered at Browns Chapel in order to march for their right to vote. They planned to march from Browns Chapel in Selma to Montgomery which is an at least a fifty mile march. The marchers were trying to go to Montgomery in order to see Governor Wallace. They wanted to tell him that they wanted the right to…

After thoroughly enjoying the poems “My Father's Hats” by Mark Irwin, “My Papa's Waltz" by Theodore Roethke, and "Those Winter Sundays" by Robert Hayden, I would say the one that stood out to me the most would be Robert Hayden’s poem. The poems are the same due to all the authors relaying their feelings towards the relationships with their father. They all seem to have reverence for the man, but in different ways disconnected from an actual relationship with them. It is as if the fathers…

Russia was under the control of Tsar Nicholas II and they were in a losing war against Japan. That caused violence in St. Petersburg in what became know as the Bloody Sunday.

The title of a story obviously should have significant, deep meaning and this story is no exception. The story “It was Easter Sunday, the Day I Went to Netreg”, by Sindiwe Magona, there are distinct similarities between Linda’s abortion and Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. A critical thing to remember about this story is the situation in which this thirteen year old girl got pregnant from her own father. It is important to remember that young pregnancies were not unusual things to happen in these…

“Those Winter Sundays” is a poem written by Robert Hayden that uses tactile and visual imagery to show the different displays of the son’s feelings towards his father. Visual imagery appeals to the eye like color, while tactile would appeal to feelings. Hayden’s poem tells about a son and father's relationship. This relationship is like a silent love. The father doesn't say loving things, but, he shows loving actions like whenever he would light the fire before waking him up so the room was not…

different dynamics of a parent/child relationship can be show in the short poems “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden and “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke. While both poems depict a father/son relationship, “Those Winter Sundays” establishes a relationship in which the son is blind to his father’s sacrifices and “My Papa’s Waltz”, a son that is blind to his father’s flaws. Hayden’s poem “Those Winter Sunday”, portrays the disregarded efforts a father puts in for his children 's comfort.…

Mr. Richard Jenkins attended the eight o’clock service at his local church every single Sunday. Each week without fail, he sat in the third row, looking carefully polished, just as he had the Sunday before that, and the Sunday before that, and just as he would next Sunday, too. His jacket was clean and pressed, his shoes had been polished until they were gleaming, his bowtie had been tied perfectly around his starched collar, and his hat was placed neatly upon his head. He was clean-shaved, his…
