The details make the poem; they allow you to imagine the dance scene fully. (Clugston, 2010). The poem gave clues that allowed the reader to feel as if something was going on beside the powerful tension throughout the poem. “The hand held my wrist” convince the reader to believe the son was forced by the father to hold his hand because if it wasn’t phrase that way it could’ve been a happy moment.
