this collection which is why tone stood out to me so much. Another strong literary element was the author’s connection to giving the readers a personal story along with a monumental‚ historical event that so many people can relate too. I think not only people who have family or are from Guam relate to this‚ but anyone who has faced oppression. One of the weaker crafts in these poems was the form.

Poems of Literature The poem “Lonely Hearts” by Wendy Cope is a little too dramatic in my opinion.
