the red wheelbarrow
This story is interesting because it makes us think about the "ordinary" things that we tend to overlook. It is in reality itself that people learn and live through. The way the poem is structured is also interesting because it emphasizes certain parts of the poem such as wheel.. barrow, one word but breaking it down into two, making us really think about the simplicity but importance of an object. We can't look too deeply into a poem like this because the image we are supposed to get about how important everyday things are for our lives. For a farmer, without a red wheelbarrow and chickens, there would probably be no farm.

Yes, though the real tension/conflict in the poem arises from the fact that the fish must be "used," or remade/imaginatively recreated--values "attributed" to it, according to one on the critic's on the study sheet--to have "significance" (i.e., significance it terms of the human world). Can we know the natrual world other than how we represent it?
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the poem as if the person catching the fish was Emily and your interpreting it as if the fish is Emily which is interesting. It's amazing how you can look through a poem through so many different perspectives.
ReplyDeletehonestly it would never come to my mind this poem with sexuality however its a different way of seeing things with different perspective. thanks to you sharing your unique idea.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Murat, it never occurred to me the idea of sexuality. How did you come about seeing that?
