Have you ever felt like you were born to do something? Since I was born I felt like I was born to play baseball, but after that I would love to be a broadcaster.

As I very rarely analyze anything I read, but you should try everything once.

Lorna Dee Cervantes' poem, “Poema para los Californios Muertos” (“Poem for the Dead Californios”), is a commentary on what happened to the original inhabitants of California when California was still Mexico, and an address to the speaker's dead ancestors. Utilizing a unique dynamic, consistently alternating between Spanish and English, Cervantes accurately represents the fear, hatred, and humility experienced by the “Californios” through rhythm, arrangement, tone, and most importantly, through use of language.

The relationship between father and son changes over time, and molds along with the people in encapsulates. As in real life, the father and son who inhabit Li-Young Lee’s poem “A Story” experience sudden changes within their relationship as the time passes on.

Metaphors greatly enhance poetry by allowing the reader to open up his or her mind to discover and explore the hidden meanings behind certain phrases. This style of writing is what encourages critical thinking when analyzing a poem. I prefer this method because I enjoy deciphering the encrypted messages within the lines of poetry. We use figures of speech in our everyday lives without even noticing them. One of the more common metaphors used for example is “letting the cat out of the bag.” This line would make no sense if it didn’t have any kind of metaphorical meaning behind it.
