Critical Analysis of the Poem “Emplumada” by Lorna Dee Cervantes The life stages that one goes through can be a wondrous adventure; such as being a kid without a care in the world to becoming an adult, going off to college, falling in love, and most of all starting a family.

Lorna Dee Cervantes expresses this in her poem, “Emplumada,” using nature such as flowers, fruit and birds to show what a mother imagines her adult children’s lives will entail. In this poem Cervantes conveys a mother whom after realizing that her children have become

Williams is truly a gift that only comes sparingly to one. Often we are stuck with teachers who think they know things but are actually filled with false knowledge. But, Mrs. Williams was genuine and honest. One could say that she had a very knowledgeable vibe about her. I believe Mrs. Williams left an impact on every child who was blessed enough to have her.

Although he is himself extremely well-read, paradoxically he hates books and people who insist on reading them. He is cunning and devious, and so perceptive that he appears to read Montag’s thoughts. Professor Faber A retired English professor whom Montag encountered a year before the book opens. Faber still possesses a few precious books and aches to have more.

Here, Kingshaw’s mother is trying to treat both the boys with equal respect.“I shall not make a favourite of my own child”, which is conveyed to the reader constantly as throughout the novel as her respect for her own child declines as her feelings for Mr Hooper increases . Hooper’s hatred for his own Mother peaks when he thinks to himself “He wished she were dead instead of his father” The phrase, “wish she were dead” conveys the fact that Kingshaw’s hatred for her is an extreme one, this is because he feels that he has been forgotten in place of Mr Hooper and Hooper .

This exaggerates his hate for his mother even more as Hooper is Kingshaw’s worst enemy, this suggests that Kingshaw’s worst relationship is with his mother, potentially implying she is the reason for his death.
