The Sick Rose

When I first read this poem I thought that it was about someone being murdered or revenge aganst someone. But after I read more into it I figured out that the rose is a women maybe and the invisible worm is a man and that there is a secret love between the rose and the worm which ends up destroying the rose.

To His Coy Mistress

I think that this poem is very good. I think that this poem is about a man wanting a women he liked to become his mistress. That he would pay her to be his mistrees "two hundred to adore each breast". That his love would grow even more for her. I really like how the he has written the poem there is some rhyme.

My Papa's Waltz by:Theodore Roethke

This poem was very interesting because it can be interpreted in different ways. I first interepreted as the father abusing the child. I thought this because the father is drunk and their hitting the pans and the boys ear scraped against his fathers buckle. But when I look more indepth I figured that maybe they are just dancing and haveing fun. Horseplay, the father drinking but not drunk. The little boy having so much fun he does not want to fall off. Mother mad but not so mad that she cant get a frown on her face Roethke’s dad’s hands would have been bruised and battered because he worked in a green house so he did hard labor. It is time to go to bed but doesn’t want to.

A StreetCar Named Desire

Tennesse Williams play A Streetcar Named Desire was very interesting, good and captivating. We see from the moment that Blanche shows up that their is going to be a conflict between the characters. She is very outspoken and self-centered. She is a character that I dont really like. I also think that she was lieing about how she lost the plantation I dont think that because of the deaths of her family that the funneral place would take it. Each of the characters where very different from Blanche the outspoken selfish one to Stella the one who cares for everyones feelings expecially her sisters to Stanley the man the one who works hard and expects there to be food on the table and haven a good wife. This play kept me on the edge becuase you think that something may happen between Blanche and Stanley. I really liked this play and hope to see the movie for it so I can get a litle better understanding for the characters.
