    Poem Analysis: At Sea

    • 1343 Words
    • 6 Pages

    The Title to this poem ’At Sea ’ is a neutral title and doesn ’t give away a lot of the meaning to the poem. It doesn ’t necessarily commit to anything specific; it ’s just a statement.

    My favorite reading is the poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America” by Phillis Wheatley and her biography. I found her life to be extraordinary. She lived a tragic life‚ but was successful in her work and kept a strong faith in God. She was brought to America at a very young age as a slave. I cannot imagine how frightened she must have been leaving her homeland and being taken by strangers. However‚ in her poem she came to reconcile with it and thought that it was by the grace of God that she
