Daystar Rita Dove
DATE \@ "d MMMM yyyy" 5 November 2014
Proposed Research Topic: A critical analysis of the poem “Daystar” by Rita Dove
Purpose: To take a look into the life of a mother and a wife. The poem’s speaker explains various ways the mother finds strategic opportunities for her to think about and observe the world (such as when her children nap). It is the typical stay-at-home mom ideology and the lack of time to focus on personal matters.
Dove uses imagery to portray the mother’s tiresome life. She also uses the absence of rhyming to make the poem feel like a personal story is being shared. The use of free verse makes the poem easily relatable, I would assume, by any mother in a similar situation.
Background: I will be using online articles
