Robert Olen Mr. Pagel ENGL 1010 February 11, 2012 "homage to my hips" Lucille Clifton was a woman of great pride in herself as well as her heritage. The poem "homage to my hips" was not the first poem that she wrote honoring certain assets that involved her physical appearance. Mrs. Clifton also wrote the poems "Homage of Mine", and "homage to my hair." The poems were written in the sixties, but not published until later after a public reading in New York, where Random House ask Lucille to submit a manuscript of some of her works.

A popular and financially successful writer, Lucy Maud Montgomery MacDonald (1874-1942) is considered one of Canada's best known and most enduring authors.

Similes are the most common figures of speech used in the novel; ‘…a hat which curved around her face like a materialising halo’. This light imagery is often associated with an almost religious experience as people are seen with halos like Arthur’s mother in chapters 12 and 13 and specifically in this quote, Lucy’s imagining of her mother in chapter 7. Although the language of the novel can come across as quite compelling to the audience, the overwrought lyrical prose can be quite tiring. The plot of the novel is obviously fictional with Lucy seeing her life as a series of photographs tortured into forced images by Jones, which can be hard for the HSC students to relate
