Optimism To overcome, to not give up, and to believe that one day change will come are some of the themes of optimism that Hughes demonstrates in his poetry. In “Mother to Son”, Hughes writes a monologue of a mother talking to her son explaining that life hasn’t been easy but she didn’t let that stop her. In this particular piece, as well as others, Hughes demonstrates that if you have that desire to keep going, so will your journey. Sometimes you have to do things that you wouldn’t have done before to get what you’ve never had. In another piece by Hughes, “I, Too”, he demonstrates how even though the “darker brother” doesn’t get treated as an equal now, there will come a day when [we] will gain the respect and equality we deserve.
Berries, Roots In the poem “Grandmother”, by Douglas Nepinak, the poet discusses the loneliness and struggle of a woman who does not know English which creates a barrier in communicating with her family. The change I had to overcome was difficult but it had to be conquered; moving to a new house, which meant having to wake up earlier than I needed to get to school in time. Change can at times be hard for people to live with and eventually overcome. People often fear change in their lives because they have a sense of control and comfort; a sort of safety net on which they can rely on. Change comes with certain adjustments, and everyone deals with these adjustments differently; therefore, ultimately, the poet suggests that if these adjustments are not met with reality at the right time, it can be costly to everyone involved.

By paying close attention, we see that at the end of all three stanzas in this poem, Longfellow used refrain by repeating the same line. This also gives us a hint on understanding the repeating path of the nature. I believe that the poem is also trying to tell us that there are different experiences in peoples’ lives. Some of them are good some bad, some of them are happy some sad, and some of them are for crying some for laughing. I think the poet is trying to tell us that we shouldn’t worry a lot in our lives cause after bad and difficult moments there are good and happy moments in our lives.
These aspects are all very important in song lyrics for an artist to deliver a meaning from a song. This essay will discuss the reader’s responses to this song and show understanding of the poetic techniques and some of their more complex, in-depth meanings that this song communicates. When I first listened and read the lyrics to this song, I was surprised to see two different possible interpretations. I thought that this song was meant to be a double entendre!

She describes that this new relationship was different than before; she feels that now they are closer than ever before. Aleshire points this out in the last stanza “I answer that I love him, too, but hardly knowing him, what I love is the way reserve has slipped from his feeling” (pg. 90) to describe that her father was a doctor and barely had enough time to spend with his daughter. Throughout the poem, Joan shows a message to the audience the love for her father. In Joan Aleshire’s poem, the theme she is portraying is her love for her father and that death is a toll that we all have to take.

There are hardly any subordinate clauses which underlines that the short story is a spontaneous flash of thoughts.
