Bean Mash Poem Analysis
In this collage I used 5 adjectives that describe the poem, which are bean mash, hard, leaky, big and beautiful.
Bean mash and hard describe the poem because the smell of bean mash could be compared with the hard pouring rain in the poem, when you're outside in the rain the rain almost smells like bean mash. The adjective leaky describes the poem because the leaky-tin represents how it is raining hard and it is becoming full of water that it starts to overflow and spills onto the grass soaking it. The adjective big represents the poem because it show that birds gather together in trees when it is storming outside just like humans we tend to gather under anything that is big like a building, bus stop, or under any protection from the rain.

    Most immigrants are viewed as invaders of the United States and immigration is not a well understood topic. Barbara Kingsolver’s novel, The Bean Trees, shows multiple perspectives of people who experience i mmigration. In the novel, immigration was a topic that was initially unknown by the protagonist, Taylor. As the story progresses, Taylor meets multiple people that are involved in the many facets of issues facing illegal immigrants. This pulls Taylor into another side of immigration and as readers follow, it makes them question if it is better to follow the law or do what is right . The Bean Trees suggests there is more than one side of the story to immigration and immigrants. Through the use of elements of fiction, Kingsolver suggests some immigration policies are unfair, immigration can cause people to live in fear and become socially reclusive, and that stereotypes are not always accurate.…

    Roadblocks: Poem Analysis

    Many writers on their venture to becoming great, are faced with roadblocks. I too feel those stresses. When sitting down to begin a story, novel, or poem we all strive to be different. But as Baldwin explains, "there is no original thought, because we all humans think and feel has been thought and felt so many times before, by so many generations." This in itself makes starting writing a very daunting task. Not to mention the sea of fellow authors you are competing with for limited shelf space. A trip to a jam packed bookstore reiterates this feeling instantaneously. Really, what sets the writer apart is the original perspective and finding out what shape to give it to really hold the readers attention. This can all be achieved through the power in…

    Poetry: Poem Analysis

    The works we studied within Creative Writing were all helpful in creating my own works to submit to the class. Throughout all of the reading, many of the works inspired me in different ways, whether it was short story plot ideas or word usage in the poems. While crafting my work for the final portfolio, I reviewed many of the poems from our poetry packet in an effort to find inspiration and to create new interesting images. I took the most inspiration for my formal poem, which I found most difficult to write. One of the poems that was most useful to me was Jilly Dybka’s “Memphis, 1976.” Dybka’s poem follows the sestina form; I also wrote my last poem in this form, so it helped to follow the form by looking at her poem as an example. Dybka’s…

    The Bean Eaters Poem

    • 533 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Gwendolyn Brooks poem "The Bean Eaters" is about an old couple and how their lives changes. As they get older, they end up living in a small back room eating mostly beans. Old age can be a dark time but remembering the good times will keep people going. This poem implies that old age can be boring. For example, "Two who are mostly good/ Two who have lived their day, but keep on putting on their clothes and putting things away" (lines 5-8). This shows that they have nothing else to live for but each other, because they have already lived through the best times of their lives and they live the same day by day with each other. It also shows that they are old by saying, "This old yellow pair" (line 1). This poem shows that remembering the old times will keeps people going. In my opinion, this…

    Working has become part of the norm in today’s society for both men and women in the American culture. People waste so much of their life and time in their occupation, that it seems that is the only part of their life that is significant. Jobs revolve around the world and people are so caught up within them. Human beings are turning away from love and family, focusing on their work and not human life that is meant to be spent with loved ones. This theme of work over family has become a major issue and theme within a few poems. This idea of choosing work over life is evident within the poems “The Mill” by Edwin Arlington Robinson and “The Secretary Chant” by Marge Piercy. Both of these poems discover what working is to that individual and how…
