Rodriguez states that his “mother must use a high pitched tone of voice when she addresses people that are not relatives” (177). This demonstrates that strangers, even sons/daughters-in-law were never included in the same group as relatives. Imagine how trying that would be for a young fiancée that desperately wanted to feel like part of the family but never could? Later, Rodriguez’s mother asks what Psychiatry

Comparing Love after Love and This Room The two poems with which I compare each other are both poems of celebration. Celebration of life, love and your identity.
