The authors of this poem were recognized musicians in the 1960’s and “The Boxer” was one of the rock hit compositions they sang. The content of the poem describes a young mans story and the way he laments the poverty and loneliness he has lived in the City of New York.

Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest (Simon, Woodley, 1968).” I can tell from this statement that most likely his family and loves ones tried to persuade him not to leave his home but he decided to listen to what he wanted to hear.

Some of his Ancestors were direct descendants of Puritan judges. Which might have influenced his all famous “Scarlet Letter” and “The Minister’s Black Veil”, both these poems evoke each readers own personal judgments on human nature.

Just hearing about my great grandfathers living conditions when he lived in Ireland makes me realize how terrible the Jews living in the holocaust had been because just hearing about my great grandfathers life makes me realize how much worse living in the holocaust would be because they were living in unsanitary places, did not have much food and were treated horribly and this affected all of the Jews in
