Poetry Analysis
TPCASTT Format Poem: My Father By: Russell Wallace
Title: This poem is obviously about a father that might be either amazing, bold or cold. I think its about the actions of a father.
Paraphrase: This poem is about a great father and every where he goes he ingrains peace around his environment. He is sweet like crab apples, and a hard-worker.
Connotation:
Imagery
Beside the road he travelled
Under the mountains he climbed
Bears eat crab apples
The sun and clouds through green fields rush by
All the sky long among eagles and owls
Personification
The house stands singing
Attitude: The attitude in this poem is punctuality and a mix with a calm, smooth, and confident description about the narrators father and what his father’s shadow is like.
Shifts: Each few lines a new stanza is borne describing a situation his father makes better.
Title: The title is what I thought it was and it was the delight of a father.
Theme: Mainly love and to have gratitude to what you have like your dad before he goes. Away. This poem wants you to appreciate what a normal father is to a son like the author.
Dissonance Questions 1. Is the narrator reflecting his father’s attributes or any father everywhere? 2. Why did the narrator make this? 3. Does every father reflect the father in the poem?
Essential Questions: 1. Are parents the key to a beautiful world? 2. Does each religion tell you how to treat your father? 3. Does every person in mankind need a father to guide

    One of the most powerful relationships someone ever forms is the connection that they have with their own father. “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden and “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke are both poems that brilliantly describe this powerful relationship between father and son. The feelings that the poets have toward the subject are found deep within the two poems often hidden behind how the character feels toward his own father. Even though these poems were published in different time periods, one feels the similarities and differences within the tone, form, or even the imagery of the poems.…

    The poem begins with the speaker's recollection of his father in the morning. Greeted by the "blueblack [sic] cold (line 2)" the father begins his morning labours in "the weekday weather (Line 4)" in order to bring warmth to the household via fire regardless of his "cracked hands that ached from labour" (Line 3). This expresses the typical youth found in familial love in which the child is cared for by his or her parent lovingly, but such love is often overlooked…

    As we know in a family, there always have a stern father and a compassionate mother. However, my father is not that stern. He always can meet all my requirements and give me the best things. Every time when I heard “Father” by Chopstick Brothers, I am touched and my mood is heavy. The whole song describes a story that is similar to me. When I was third grade my father came to America, I have not seemed him until I came here. Even though my father was far away at that time, I still could feel the love from him. My father still gave a call every day, although China has time difference with the United States. No matter how tired he was. He was cared about me and never forgot my birthday. Until the day when I saw my father in John F. Kennedy International Airport, I could not believe that person is my father. I saw there had grey hair in my father’s hair. I wanted to cry at that time, but I…

Although my life is not perfect, I make the best out of it. , felt as if a sudden fate or burden was decided for me. I am my…

    For a while now he could live without demands from his fussy children and his immature wife. I knew his routine so well. As he came to the bend in the road past our house he would look back at the ten children lined up in front of the door. He would wave at them, but no one would wave back. They well knew that their father was not going to his office, but rather to another home, one where someone else would welcome him with that special warmth a wife reserves for greeting her husband.…
