Reading Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden‚ I cannot help but feel the poet now grown and becoming a parent himself‚ is reflecting. The poem does not talk of the authors present‚ but I can imagine that some life event has caused this revisiting of the past. The tone leaves one with a sense of regret‚ a longing to return to childhood‚ to revisit the unappreciated moments.

Bono did a wonderful job of contrasting the 1972 Bloody Sunday Massacre with Easter Sunday‚ a peaceful day both Protestants and Catholics celebrate. While hearing U2’s uniquely created spin on the incident‚ I realized how sad and gruesome the day must have been. Bono’s parents were both of two different religions‚ Protestant

Speaker in poetry Christen Borgersrode I chose to write about “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. This poem was a touching memory as the speaker looked back on how he never thanked his father for all he did on those chilly Sunday mornings. In lines one through five the speaker talks about how the father would always get up in the early morning‚ in the “blueblack cold”‚ and get a fire started to warm the house after working hard that previous week. This shows that the father worked hard

PALM SUNDAY / PALASPAS Palm Sunday is an Easter celebration that commemorates the fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9 where Jesus makes his triumphal entrance into Jerusalem.
