says that, “this is an elegy. A part of the book of not-wanting-to-let-go. And go it must; and go it has” (Oliver, 539). This portrays her sadness of the loss of the land, but this does not anger her, rather disappoints her because of the loss of life and lack of respect for nature. This leads to her next point when she talks about her hopes for animals who lost their habitats due to societal development; “I apologize to the hummingbird. I hope the snakes have found a new home. I hope the new…

Paul, the narrator, draws the stark contrast between the poor and the rich. He suggests that while the ones better off in life seem delighted at the idea of war, those that have suffered know the futility of war and know more about its consequences than the rich.
