    The theme of family/relationship can be seen in the poems Theatre and Even If You Weren’t My Father. This theme explores the idea of how a family relationship can be positive of negative. Both these poems express the theme in a different way, Theatre for example is very cold and depressing for a family relationship. The poem ends with a strong, short line of “a stranger” to provide emphasis on the poem. This line can be interpreted in two ways: That he is s stranger to her, or that she feels like the stranger herself. The final line basically summarises the entire poem, it also sums up her whole relationship with her child, how distant she was, how clueless she was about the whole situation, about being a mother. The reader can almost feel a sense of sadness at the line, regret even and that after years of being apart she has finally realised that she didn’t achieve any kind of real relationship, a bond with her child and that she’s using this poem as a means to reach out and reconnect with her child one last time. Even If You Weren’t My Father is a much warmer relationship; they were close as a family. The final line “I would above all other men so love you.” strongly emphasis his loving emotion for his father, it highlights there whole relationship in a positive light. It conveys a much more personal relationship; you can feel the sense of awe and admiration he has for his father. Both these poems display the life experiences of belonging to a family.…

    Daddy? When you think of the term “daddy” what thoughts come to mind? For most it is an affectionate or familiar term, but not for all. In his poem, “My Papa’s Waltz”, Theodore Roethke depicts an altercation between a father and son. In contrast to the poem, Holly Dunn emphasizes love and tenderness between a father and child in the song “Daddy’s hands.” Each writer is showing the important role a father plays in a child’s life from very different points of view.…

    Language in itself has its own way of functioning, but when it is influenced by our cultural upbringing, another dimension of communication takes place. It is something that involves the use of devices as formality and informality; precision and vagueness; and brevity and detail. And in terms of verbal communication style, as it…

    Relationships are very complex. To an outsider looking in, it may appear to be an unhealthy, or maybe even an abusive relationship, when in actuality it is a healthy relationship. Sure, the relationship may be different, but still it remains a healthy relationship which is what is important. This describes the relationship between the father and the son in the poem “My Papa’s Waltz.” On the surface, the father appears to be a drunk, and the kid, somewhat skittish, or scared around him; however, one must dig deeper than the surface level to be able to comprehend and appreciate the love shared between the father and the son in this poem. Through the use of literary devices such as extended metaphors and similes, the reader can see that the…

    In conclusion, my thoughts on these poems is that, I thought reading these made me sad and sad for the narrators of each of these poems. Because with Daddy, I feel like what she went through was worse than Digging and Those Winter Sundays. The reason why I think that is because women still were not treated as equal as men. For her to go through all of that and be women, I would imagine it being really hard for her.…

    Stalin's Epigram Analysis

    • 406 Words
    • 2 Pages

    “Stalin’s Epigram” masterfully displays several literary elements. Mandelstam’s poem is in itself an allusion to Stalin, but is also rife with smaller references and allusions to other figures and events of the time period. Stalin, the central figure of the poem also represents an antagonist to Mandelstam and other ordinary Russians, as well as a symbol of the Soviet Union. The entire poem is Mandelstam's denunciation of Stalin and Stalin’s society, as evidenced by “All we hear is the Kremlin mountaineer.” The original poem contains even more subtle references and allusions, of which critics lament their loss in translation (Priesto). For example, the description of “thin-necked leaders” isn’t just an insult to the followers of Stalin as weak and unmanly, but a direct reference to Vasily Molotov, a bureaucrat in Stalin’s…
