Love Your Mother's Poem 'Giving Tree'
Love your mother with all your heart.
She takes care of you from the start.
She gave you life, and love, and care,
And spent time with you everywhere.

She taught you how to walk and talk,
She didn’t sleep till 12 o’clock.
She did laundry, cooking, cleaning…
You did not find any meaning.

She can give you everything.
She loves you more than anything.
She buys you books, clothes, toys and games.
You don’t remember all their names.

When you grow up, you forget
All your mother’s things you get.
She’s in lack of love from you.
You are busy, that is true.

You just think about your mom,
When you need her help and come.
You don’t think about her,
When she lonely every day.

Like in story “Giving Tree,”
You just getting stuff for free,
You just

    Shel Silverstein wrote a children’s book that can be perceived through multiple critical lenses, from historical to feminist to psychological. In the Giving Tree he uses personification, metaphor, and allusions to depict the psychological impact of growing up with someone who was different than him but whom he shared a special bond with.

 Silverstein begins by using personification to describe the tree's constant giving and dedication. Throughout the life of the tree, she ultimately sacrifices and gives everything she has to the boy symbolizing both compassion and love. She continues this pattern throughout her entire life and his entire life which is why Silverstein may have portrayed her as a woman. Throughout history women have been…

    In “Living Tree”, by Robert Morgan, the author describes the practice of burying the dead under a tree, which in turn nourishes it and continues the cycle of life. Memory and the passing of a legacy are concepts that can be observed throughout the poem. Life, death and rebirth is the theme of this poem, the idea that a person is more than a body, and can transcend the material realm and continue to live in the memory of future generations. This point is stated in lines 8,9, and 10, where he describes the transfer of the constituent components of his body to a tree. Some part of him seems to want to be remembered by future generations, specifically when he mentions “standing tall with monuments and statues there on a far hill, erect as truth, a testimony”. This statement is revealing because statues and monuments are usually constructed to commemorate something, possibly a person or event, in this case the author 's eventual death. Three elements of this poem that I will be discussing are, tone, imagery, and figurative language. His use of these elements will help to illuminate the point that I will attempt to make in regards to the theme of this poem.…

    In the poem, “Hand-Me-Downs” by Sarah Kay, the poet uses conflict and figurative language to show that anger is passed down from generation to generation. This is a problem because when a person “wears” anger, they do not ask themselves if the anger is worth it, and if it is having the affect it is supposed to have.…

    After reading the poem Aunt by Al Young the inference I can make about the aunt’s personality is that she is not afraid to express her emotions whether those feelings are of happiness or anger, out going, and a generally happy positive person. The reason I know that she is not afraid to express her feelings is from the line in that poem “O & her anger realer than gasoline slung into fire” and “She laughs more than ever in spring stomping the downtowns”. Also I deduce that she is generally happy from the part in the poem “Her face a blur of wrinkles & sunshine where her hard hair shivers from laughter like a pine tree stiff with oil and hot combing”. This verse paints a picture of a woman with laugh lines or wrinkles for me, so from that I can infer that she smiles or laughs a lot.…

    Poem Analysis: The Mother

    • 1137 Words
    • 5 Pages

    In this poem “The Mother” it was this mother that had many abortions. This speaker was having an emotional breakdown. For example, “I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed children” (Brooks 1940). When reading ‘’The Mother’’ the speaker talked about her and focused on the children she aborted. But the speaker never mentioned a father. So, after realizing she did not mention a father this question came to an understanding. Why do people have different emotional and physical feelings after abortions? When asking that question by people it means men and women. There is evidence of when it comes to abortions, many people do not think about the men withdrawals. Abortions, which are the discontinuation of a pregnancy before…

    Minerva Jones Poem

    In the epitaph "Minerva Jones" by Edgar Lee Masters I learned that she was looked at as a person with a "heavy body, cock-eye, and rolling walk" and that she was the village poetess. The people this poetess speaks about are as she refers to as "Yahoos of the street" these were the people who would hoot and jeer at her as she walked by because of her looks. She also says that someone named Butch Weldy captured her after a brutal hunt and that she "sank into death, growing numb from the feet up" she is now pregnant by Butch. This lets us know how the poet's view on small-town America because not only does that seem bad that in the epitaph the girl is "captured" she is thirsty for love and hungry for life which means she isn't loved nor does she…

    What is motherhood? Being caring and having patience are the main two components that make a good mother.
