Summary Of Same Song By Pat Mora
Only You
Have you ever tried to look good just to impress others or fit in? Well you aren’t alone, in the poem “Same Song” by Pat Mora a parent or guardian sees their 16 year old son and 12 year old daughter trying to look good or be someone they aren’t. The 12 year old girl wakes up really early to put on makeup while the 16 year old boy stays up late to workout. I really enjoyed the tone and images I got when reading the poem “Same Song”.

The imagery, theme, and tone are some of the best parts of the poem to me. Most of all I really enjoyed the images because the story gave me and made me feel like I was part of the poem watching everything happen. Some images I got were a girl looking at herself in the mirror half awake putting

    Being able to visualize what she explains makes it easier for me to understand what she is saying and easier for words to seep into my deep thoughts. What I admire the most about this collection is the way she speaks about death. Nobody will ever fully understand death, which always bothers me when I think of it. I feel like the general population always tries to find a comforting way to speak about death.…

    In poem the imagery job was to put reader in the shoe of the young white narrator. Imagery allowed reader to come to a conclusion of why would narrator think like she did.

Another examples is line twenty six through thirty one, as she explained how man can break her back like a stick maybe for vengeance on people that are breaking his.…

    I feel this poem has impressionistic, decorative, and picturesque imagery. To allow you to visualize what’s going on and experience the emotions being expressed. Symbols were used to help add to the picture. One would be the bird that has a broken wing and moving in circles showed that everyone is capable of getting hurt. Another symbol is the goat’s bones, symbolizing that danger is always present in our lives. Birney used alliteration to flow from one word to another. An example of this would be “seracs that shore”. Similies were used to create an intense picture.”An overhang crooked like a talon” reveal’s the power and threat a mountain gives off. The metaphorical image: “... mountain... were made to see over, / Stairs to the valleys and steps to the sun’s retreats” relates to life. Mountains are the barriers to life in which you must overcome. The stairs resemble the chance to overcome the barrier. The sun setting shows missed opportunity.…

    There is one main image in the poem “A Blessing” by James Wright. The image that I see that is standing out is two nice men stepping over a barbed wire going to two ponies that are peacefully munching on grass. I felt that the was important because I felt as though it was the main focus of the poem, to get the reader to see the image. They affect myself (the reader) by putting me in a calm state of mind in a nice open field. The voice of the speaker is a young man in his twenty’s that is touring the United States just passing by Rochester. The speaker is young which creates a new experience for the speaker. The kindness and respect of the speaker creates a soft and easy tone. There is also a simile in the poem: “This is delicate as the skin…

Lee writes that scouts says, “ A faint breeze stirred and cooled the sweat running down my sides”. This helps the reader picture how nervous scout was and what she was feeling.an example of how the authors uses imagery would be, “we strolled silently down the sidewalk, listening to porch swings creaking with the weight of the neighborhood, listening to the soft night-murmurs of the grown people on our street.

    Once More to the Lake

    The imagery White uses in his essay mirrors poetry. He makes a very strong point with the painting of his statement. For example, when speaking of his imagery of the lake; “I wondered how time would have marred this unique, this holy spot—the coves and streams, the hills that the sun set behind, the camps and the paths behind the camps” he paints a picture. Once again, when reflecting how beautiful the mornings were; “The lake was cool and motionless, remembered how the bedroom smelled of the lumber it was made of and the wet woods whose scent entered through the screen”. Very valid details and descriptions are made when he reflects. This is great. All great authors should make very detailed descriptions when stating or telling something that they really want the reader to capture. White actually takes you to where or what he is talking about.…
