All literature uses some kinds of special ways to make a story or a poeminteresting. The appearance, actions, speech and thoughts of theircharacters illustrate most stories. In the stories and poems that Iread: a song in the Front Yard, Girls, Mother and son, A conversation with my father and His story. Each of them expresses their point of view through a female point of view. All of these poems and story had different theme, but in the end there, they were revealed the same feeling. The poem " A song in the Front Yard" is a simple expression poem which at first glance seems to be about a girl is much over protected by her parents that in turn lead her to make a wrongful decision on her future.The symbolism is the main tool used to discover what the author is trying to say. I like this poem because the symbolism causes a greatdeal of think and analyzing to understand it. In the first stanza " Iwant to peek at the back. Where it's rough and untended and hungry weedgrows" This may mean that she is, for once, wanted to see how the outside world really likes. Eventhough, it is not safe and wonderful as the world that she is living in now. " A girl gets sick of a rose" means she is tired of how her parents babying her. She ju
st wants to have alittle more space, perhaps a little more freedom. Finally, in the end, she decides that reverse of whatever her mom said is right as the fourth stanza states " But I say it's fine. However, when one looks deeper into the poem to find its underlying meanings, one discovers that the tone of the poem is more like voice that crying out for justice. After reading each of these poems, it is obvious that stories ofmisery were very short but hidden a meaningful value. Sometimes people don't understand how important others mean to them until it is too late. "My mother sneers, but I say it's fine. There is a phrase that people here time and time again, but don't truly understand the meaning of it until the phrase can be applied to their own lives. you can see on a first couple paragraph that her father had something to tell his daughter; which he kept for himself for so long until the final moment when he lies on bed with his last breath he tries explained to his daughter through a novel of a famous russian author. In the last line of the last stanza " And one female, gone" could mean that her mom die after her birth which could explain all the sorrow of her father. These five poems and short stories did a great jobof showing how reality of life is and how it really causes pain amongst the people suffering from it. In order to do so, however, she must change herself spiritually to meet the demands of others. The last stanza "an unlucky fate is mine" means that she did not do anything wrong but just becuase she was born in the family that had all the troubles women she then also have to share the same fate. The author seems to use the story that told by the daughter to gives us the image of her father pass. it was only then thathe realized how much he misses her. In the second and third stanzas, the author conveys an attitude oppose of the girl against her mom will.
