Current Event Explanation
"By ill-mannered silence, surrender Pushed dumbfoundment to beg simplification. Considerate she was, varying the emphasis." I connected this to the Tryayvon Martin case. Because when this happend thier was alot of dumbfoundment that alot of people were feeling. When this poem talks about begging for simplication that's like a way that his parents were felling and other people in the world. This quote connects to that situation in many different ways because it was very disrespectful, inconsiderate, and rude.
A Poetic Connection Explanation
"By a courious mental process he imagined them standing, sad and forsaken, under the harsh angry weather-shut out from his house. That night he hardly slept, from remorse-and a vague fear that he might die without making it up to them." This is a quote from the short story "Marrige Is a Private Affair" were it was anything but. It shows family struggle between a son and his decision on who he marries and his father. His father dosen't approve of who his son married. He prefered a fixed marrige from somebody inside thier tribe. Because he did not do that it caused alot of problems between the two of them and the family. One day the boy and his family came over and it was pouring rain and his father shut the door in their face, shutting them outinto the rain. Now he's afraid that he might die without telling them how sorry he is. This is an example on how you should never let anything come between you and your family faith should always overcome sruggle especialy in a family.
