After reading both, Sharon Olds, "Rite of Passage" and Adrienne Rich, "Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers" the two poems are not very similar. In the “Rite of Passage”, the narrator, known as the mother (Olds), is witnessing difficult children, and rage at her son’s first birthday party. On the other hand, “Aunt Jennifer’s Tiger”, focuses on the struggles in an unhappy marriage. The poems both included messages that deal with relationships shared with individuals, closest to you. Although, both poems do not share a common similarity, I have identified an issue among the two poems. “Trust can never be regained fully” is an issue that can be identified amongst the two poems. In both poems, disputes and disagreements were evident. For instance, the poem “Rites of Passage” primarily focused on what a mother observed during her son’s birthday party. Olds observations centered on how young boys actions result into violence when dealing with one another.

For Olds, watching her son take a role of maturity is quite impressive. Although the birthday party consists of young boys, aging from six to seven they are mentioned in the poem and referred to as “men.” “Short men, men in first grade”, shows that Old is referring the term “men”, to the male guest, as well as her son. “Hands in pockets, they stand around, jostling, jockeying for place, small fights, breaking out and calming” this evidence appoints that Olds son cleared up the uncomfortable setting of his birthday party, and turned the party into a moderate “celebration of his life”. The observation of that Olds viewed of her son’s birthday party, shows that the celebration of her son’s life, will only result into him being an older man, and taking more mature roles. The “relationship cannot be repaired to an original” mommy’s precious little guy, mother and son

...nts a man looking back on his childhood with love and longing admiration. Both poet's have used their childhood experiences to create a window into their past, reviewing a piece of their lives, to move forward with their bold futures.
...xperiences of their readers. The poems express critical and serious issues that surround the heartfelt childhood memories of the readers. The surrounding circumstances and situations are different in each household. The readers are personally drawn to feel expressions of abuse, emotional issues and confusion as the poets draw them into a journey through their own personal life experiences from childhood to adulthood. These experiences are carried throughout a person’s life. Readers are somewhat forced to immediately draw themselves closer to the characters and can relate to them on a personal level.
The poem is written in the father’s point of view; this gives insight of the father’s character and
All mother- daughters relationships go through a series of hardships and obstacles. Relationships between mothers and daughters can be seen through care and compassion or anger and frustration depending on how they are viewed. The memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom by Amy Chua and the novel, The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan both set examples of different mother-daughter relationships during music lessons. Amy Chua’s excerpt portrays a tense tone, while Amy Tan’s excerpt depicts a hostile and belligerent tone.
In analyzing the two poems, The “Lost Sister” written by Cathy Song and the “Myth of Spirits” written by Monica Mody both share a similar free verse style of writing. The two poems are both penned with applying metaphors and unique symbolism. Meanwhile, suggesting the importance of spirituality that helps create a greater experience of self-identity. However, they differ in their characteristic examples of ethnicity. In the analyzation of the characters portrayed in these two poems, the concept of how “freedom” is relatable in fairly different aspects. In an initial examination of these two poems, a reader may discover that the two poems have no comparisons. There are not many comparisons between the two poems but, what holds true is the
The author uses imagery, contrasting diction, tones, and symbols in the poem to show two very different sides of the parent-child relationship. The poem’s theme is that even though parents and teenagers may have their disagreements, there is still an underlying love that binds the family together and helps them bridge their gap that is between them.
The poem is riddled with similes and metaphors to help give the reader a better understanding of how fast the child is growing in the eyes of the mother. The line, “Your bright clothes glowed Golden as the leaves” is used during the start of the poem, followed by “And happiness shines on you Like the sun on daisies” shortly after. Towards the end of the poem, the parent states that her child “wears Autumn like a silk dress.” We as the audience can make the assumption from these lines that the mother is comparing her daughter's appearance to current season. The compliments she gives to her daughter regarding her appearance are in Chronological order of the seasons, starting from Spring, to Summer then Autumn. The poet uses the theme of families having the closest connections and implements it in a poem which is far more light hearted compared to poems such as Pact for a mother and a teenager and how things are. The poem consists more of figurative Language due the amount of times the poet uses metaphors to emphasise the message, which is about how fast children tend to grow in the eyes of a parent. This message impacts parents by making them more aware of the fact that their children will grow more faster than they expect and how they should acknowledge cherish each moment there with

Finally comes to appreciate those who gave us life. So the many writers and poets write about his past and the difficulties. Therefore, the many difficulties in the life but the parent role in the life is very important. Parent helps the children every way so the father role is very important role. I spent most of my childhood days running in difficulties so the writer asked that father role is very strict role in my life. Therefore, the author is remembering whom his father gets up early in the morning on holiday as Sunday. The poem is a bit sad so the feeling is very imagining in the poem. Therefore, the poem is one warmed father love. Therefore the poems explain more things then but the father is very important in life he support the children in difficult time. Therefore, the father works at home so make sure that the house is full of energetic (Huden, 2014).
In the poem, "Rite of Passage," by Sharon Olds, the speaker, who is a mother, goes into detail about her son's birthday party celebration. Let us first begin by analyzing the title of the poem, "Rite of Passage," Encyclopedia Britannica describes a rite of passage as a ceremonial event, existing in all historically known societies, that marks the passage from one social or religious status to another. Given the plot of the poem about a young boy having his peers over celebrate his birthday, one might be automatically compelled to say the rite of passage is for him, however with a closer analysis of the poem in its entirety, one can argue the title and the plot hold deeper meaning.
However, at the young age, the loneliness and despair has been depicted in the music, literature, and art, but nobody understand the meaning of loneliness and sadness unless they have experience did. For example in the story the younger waiter had no sympathy and respect for the old man because he is unexperienced and he is living happily life with his wife. As the author mentioned in the story about how the younger waiter react to the old man, I know." "I wouldn't want to be that old. An old man is a nasty thing."” (380). this quote shows the younger waiter’s thought about old people. He is selfish and lacking in empathy, about inexperienced at life without realizing it how age look like. The younger waiter is unpleasant to the life of loneliness

What is the American Dream? In the poem, To Elsie, William Carlos Williams asks us the many questions lurking beneath the pavement of our perception behind the American dream.

In the poetry of William Blake and William Wordsworth, this difference between children and adults and their respective states of mind is articulated and developed. As a person ages, they move undeniably from childhood to adulthood, and their mentality moves with them. On the backs of Blake and Wordsworth, the reader is taken along this journey.
Every parent uses different ways of parenting some parents like to be lenient because they value independence, and others like to be very strict because they value more culture and family but both want to teach something to their kids and succeed in different parenting experiences. In the book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua writes about her experience of raising her two daughters in a very strict “Chinese” way. In her book Chua claims that Chinese “strict” parents raise their kids better than Western “lenient” parents. Chua raises her daughters Sophia and Lulu with strong habits, skills and self confidence for their future. Expecting a lot from her daughters, Chua forces Sophia and
