Those Winter Sundays In the poem‚ “Those Winter Sundays‚” by Robert Hayden‚ he tells a familiar story about the relationship between a parent and a child. The story is that more times than not‚ the child is oblivious to the sacrifices. He talks about the father still getting up on Sundays after a long work week‚ and how he would build a fire to warm up the house before his kids would get out of bed. He would also polish his child’s shoes. He would do all this and no one would ever thank him. “When

Winter Dreaming of a Socratic Seminar The Socratic Seminar was an educational and enlightening experience. Before the day of the seminar I was a bit apprehensive and was not sure whether the class‚ or I for that matter‚ would participate much or learn much. After the class I felt great about the experience and learned a lot‚ it was good to have a conversation with my fellow classmates about the story in a relaxed atmosphere.

In the poem “Those Winter Sundays” the father is described to wake up every morning even on Sundays also‚ to warm the house up for his child. He worked all week doing labor and “No one ever thanked him” is a hint that people around him were very unappreciative

The story I chose to read was “Winter Dreams” by Fitzgerald. Addressing the first part of the question‚ Fitzgerald’s “Winter Dreams” depicts the transformation of traditional American culture to a materialistic‚ joy-seeking society.
