The poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden is a short lyrical poem that tells a particular story about the relationship between a father and son. Though the poem is filled with complex emotions, the simplistic language of the poem brings out the great use of imagery and alliteration that drawls out the density in each line. This poem is about two people, a son and a father. The son is recalling back to his adolescent years and his tough relationship with his father. The son, as a boy, did…

physical activities (Hayden 146). The reader can infer by the information from the biography reference center that the solemnness included in “Those Winter Sundays” could be greatly influenced by the sheltered and introverted…

even base religions off of how to even slightly evade it. The idea of “something more,” an afterlife, is incredibly important to many people; along with fatality, that is one of the subjects of intense scrutiny of Wallace Stevens’s poem, “Sunday Morning.” “Sunday Morning” brushes on a number of interesting topics (such as male-female relationships, sex, and use of imagery). Unfortunately, throwing out three stanzas of the poem was vital to its initial publication. Stevens chose to ultimately…

Hello Dec. Mayweather and Deacon Wooten, I would like to increase Kingdom Kids church participation on 5th Sundays. I proposed that one of our older children would give an 3 minute overview of what they have learned in Kingdom Kids since the last 5th Sunday. I would like for a younger child to give the welcome. I would also like for one of the children to bless the offering. I would love to partner with the Usher board and deacon board to establish kingdom kids ushers and Junior Deacons. The…

Those Winter Sundays, a poem about a memory. The speaker reviews the activities of a father who every Sunday rises ahead of schedule to obediently make a fire and clean the great shoes for his child. It's just later on in life that the kid ends up plainly mindful of the give up his dad, a persevering guardian, made. Robert Hayden was raised by non-permanent parents following the beat down of his genuine mother and father so maybe the ballad is an endeavor to re-catch some piece of a horrendous…

Sunday is Easter! This is our time to shine as a church to the entire community! Easter is for many things: The proof of our redemption in Christ. The grave has been forever robbed. Sin has been defeated. Hope for tomorrow. As Christians we celebrate our King and rejoice towards eternity. And for those who have no hope, they will get to discover the hope that is only found in Jesus. Easter becomes our opportunity, The Refuge Church's opportunity that the Holy Spirit has given us to…

In “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden, the growth of an adolescent mind to a more sophisticated and worldly point of view is explored through the use of tactile and visual imagery. The darkness and solitude that surrounds the relationship of the young speaker and his father is transformed through growth and maturity as evidence of their beginning to recognize one another’s flaws and shortcomings is provided. Consequently, appreciation and gratitude are gradually expressed, though it is too…

William Blake’s ‘London’ and Charles Martin’s ‘Easter Sunday’ are two pieces of poetry that reflect opposing perspectives of power. ‘London’ is sharp and seminal text that has been written in order to draw the reader’s attention to the persona’s observations and encounters of the conditions of London and the communal experience of its residents. The poem is a damning condemnation of a very corrupted society dominated by the power of materialism and the hypocritical paradigm that legitimates such…

that her mother specially made for her! Shirley felt so proud and elegant wearing that dress. Mother told her that the purple dress was only to be worn on Sundays and if she wore it on any other day she would get a whoopin’. Sundays were not only her favorite day of the week because she got to wear the beautiful dress, but because every Sunday in the summer she got to go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. After changing, Shirley ran down the old…

In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” by Hayden, a man looks back on his childhood to realize his father showed his love through his actions. The father woke up before the crack of dawn, even on Sunday, Hayden states, “then with cracked hands that ached/ from labor in the weekday made/ banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him,” (Lines 3-5) His body, at least his hands, showed the physical labor of his job taking a toll on him, but still he woke up early to make sure the house was warm for him…
