K-9 Poem Analysis

174 Words1 Page

K-9 is a wonderful poem that expresses what a day would be like, for a k-9 handler. Not only can dog handlers themselves relate to this poem, but so can every dog or animal lover in the world. The author uses so many descriptive words when describing the dogs, that you can't help but imagine your dog looking right at you while reading. Due to how the poem is written, even those who are not animal owners can find something in this poem to appreciate. These working dogs give so much unconditional attention and love, while providing safety for their owners and everyday people. I highly suggest you read this poem! Not only is it fascinating, but you feel this sense of warmth while reading it. I can almost guarantee this poem

    The 1970s were a rough year for African-Americans, still fighting for social and political rights in the United States. Consequently, women still did not receive equal rights. However, in 1972, “Congress approved the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to the Constitution, which reads: ‘Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex’ (History.com Staff).” Out of the thirty-eight necessary states only twenty-two ratified it right away, it was relieving for the moment because the feminist advocates had been trying to be ratified since 1923. The First African-American woman elected into Congress was Shirley Chisholm.

  • Poem Analysis: For My Daughter By Weldon Kees

    254 Words  | 2 Pages

    While “For My Daughter”, a poem written by Weldon Kees during the 1940s, resonates the bitterness of a mother’s feeling toward her daughter’s illness, it also shows her hopelessness and pain as a mother. What I find interesting about this poem is the strong statement in the last line “I have no daughter” for “I have none”. I find this line to be contradicting, because the mother obviously show hopelessness as she could only watch her daughter slowly dying away. However, she might not bare any love for her daughter or she did love her daughter, but she tries to detach herself from loving her daughter to reduce the pain of losing her. So, I chose this poem to find out if bitterness is the only attitude the poet reveals in this poem.

  • Jazzonia Poem Analysis

    The final poem of significance is Jazzonia, in which Hughes experiments with literary form to transform the act of listening to jazz into an ahistorical and biblical act. Neglecting form, it is easy to interpret the poem shallowly as a simple depiction of a night-out in a cabaret with jazz whipping people into a jovial frenzy of singing and dancing. But, the poem possesses more depth, when you immerse yourself in the literary form. The first aspect of form to interrogate is the couplet Hughes thrice repeats: “Oh, silver tree!/Oh, shining rivers of the soul!” Here, we see the first transformation.
