The White Porch: a Journey from Child to Woman

She looks at her pale grey face and her open mouth and realieses that her mother will be no more the next time she visits her. This is something which can only be felt by a dauthter. This was a mother daughter bond that made her understand the fact that this lady of heaven was going to leave her soon.The poet is attempting to ease the situation by a long smile that meant consolation to her mother. Her mother was in fact not asleep but was observing her and seemed to have read her unsettling thoughts and

In the first half- line of the poem, the Wife sets the elegiac tone with three simple, clear words, “Full of sorrow” (The Wife’s Lament, line 1). In three words, the wife plainly describes how she feels. As the poem continues she tells her story and the explanation for her

This poem contrasts with “Poem at Thirty Nine”. In the latter poem, the persona explains her father preparing her for life, while in ”Mother in a Refugee Camp” the persona describes a mother preparing her child for death. However, both relationships experience loss: the mother loses her child, and Walker loses her father. Both poems also express admiration for the parents.

Throughout Sylvia Plath’s poem “You’re” she addresses what her life is like as a pregnant women. This poem was written when she was pregnant with her first child so the emotions she was feeling were at full throttle. Through her use of similes and metaphors Plath is able to portray these first time emotions as excitement of a soon to be mother starts to grow. It is no secret that Sylvia Plath thought very highly of her soon to be child.

The poem “The Birth” represents the everyday life of a doctor who delivers babies. This poem depicts the delivering of a baby by a forty year old woman named Para and how long it took for it to come out and the pain that the woman is feeling during the contractions. Finally the baby starts to move towards the exit and weighted in at thirteen and a half pound named Madonna. The doctor’s frustration of waiting for the baby to come tires him.

Throughout the poem the husband begins to get more and more suspicious of his wife, showcasing the fact that he seems to want to

An amazing composed love poem. The poem talks about mothers affection for her child and the other way around, joining nature, animals, and their general surroundings. A delightful poem I have enjoyed is given the lovely mother child relationship. Cummings utilizes nature all through the poem to offer the reader some assistance with visualizing the more profound implications of what it is attempting to pass on the voyage of life, the unique spot we leave in our souls for adoration, the comings and goings of individuals, and so forth. Yet, the poem is focused on love. I liked the poem and I think it is worth take the time to read

In the northwest west corner of my town, sits a very dilapidated house which has been there as long as anyone can remember. The house once had huge glass windows now, some are shattered, some are missing and the rest are boarded up with wood. The big house has white bricks with dead vines creeping down all of the sides of the house. This house was once home to Jane White. Miss White was someone you didn’t talk to unless she talked to you first, and even then if she wasn’t asking you a question you would just smile and nod trying to not get in her way. Miss White never married, at least we think, and if she would have and her husband did something wrong, he would have been dead on the spot. So just like we left Miss White alone, we leave the house alone just in case there is anything at the house that she left for trespassers. That’s how it has always been, until today at least.

First of all, this poem is written in a first person’s point of view. She begins by telling the reader the cause of her pain and suffering – her “beloved sweetheart bastard” which gravitates into a sense of bitterness and vengeance/retribution. In addition to that, the use of

The speaker of the poem is a woman, a wife, and a mother of two. In the poem, the woman explains how her family evaluates her role as a wife and mother. Therapist, Dr. Geraldine G. Chavis, describes “how the frustration and bitterness that’s apparent in the

She does so with a metaphor comparing herself to a “riddle in nine syllables” (1). Through her deliberate use of the number nine, she is able to parallel with the common duration of pregnancy which lasts approximately nine months and is “the unifying theme of the poem” (Devi 4). This immediately allows the reader to infer that the poem will be a first-person account of her pregnancy. This is further carried out through comparing herself to “an elephant, a ponderous house, [and] a melon strolling on two tendrils” (2-3).

The poem shouts the conflict, attachment. As we can see too much dependence on one person can be overwhelmingly vague and counter back because one is too naïve to do stuff on their own. “Attachment,” according to Merriam Webster dictionary is a strong feeling of affection or loyalty for someone or something. And we see this often in this poem, being overly hyped up towards a person. Now by analyzing the poem we can say that the speaker is a woman talking to a man possibly a husband and a wife again showing the woman’s belief of attachment towards her husband. For instance, “what will I do” (3) shows doubtless, and seems the words coming out of the woman, granting emotions and fear of what is to happen to her once he is gone. Thus, its also tells us the devotion the speaker has towards her husband, the value in him how he is important to her.

Pregnancy is an event in a woman life that brings pure joy and excitement. During a woman’s pregnancy her body is physically changing, along with a cascade of emotions. Every pregnancy in a woman’s life is highly individualized. Pregnancy can range from completely normal to various complication, both maternal and fetal complications. The patient I interviewed gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and she couldn’t be more excited. She had a wonderful birthing experience, this was her 3rd child and she agreed that all of her pregnancies were completely different. When I interviewed my patient she made me realize how incredible pregnancy is.
