who has read Two Tramps in Mud Time poem? I NEED UR HELP

I like that poem!

Answer 2

Explain how “Two Tramps in Mud Time” uses poetic techniques to tell a story and develop character. pls <3 :)

Answer 3

tell me from your knowledge and how you would answer it

Answer 4

Well the first thing is its length and use of stanzas. Each stanza centers around a particular image or idea - for example, the third stanza is a rumination of the weather, and then the fourth stanza is a progression towards a bluebird contemplating the weather. Each stanza is a progression of the last stanza - the story is told by Frost layering a new concept or picture on the reader in every stanza. More and more of the woodcutter's emotions and dilemmas are revealed.

Frost also uses countless opposites to depict the philosophical war occurring in the narrator. In the poem, we are held in the tension of opposing forces: winter and spring, warmth and cold, mental deliberation and physical labor, have and have not, work and play; aggression and self-discipline.

This poem is obviously too much to cover in a few paragraphs, but I hope this was a good starting point.

Answer 5

omg that helped alot!!...have u read Everything That Rises Must Converge” and “Star Food” ?

Answer 6

yeah, I've read Everything but not Star Food whats the q?

Answer 7

How do the authors of the stories “Everything That Rises Must Converge” and “Star Food” both use everyday events and details in their stories? What larger ideas do the everyday details suggest?

Answer 8

This is a tough question, because at least with Everything, it is a complex poem that people are going to interpret differently. Even from the get-go, you can make a case that it is a serious poem, a comical one, or both.

Everyday events are used to portray the dynamic between the mother and Julian. (Real world references do this too). For example, the comparison to Saint Sebastian "while waiting for the arrows to begin piercing him" shows how the mother thinks of Julian as her hero, even though Julian is a pretty weak person who thinks very disrespectfully of her.

The hat incident, where she keeps wishing she hadn't paid for the hat, might seem inconsequential, but it is a demonstration of her conflicting dignity / southern pride and her desire to appear rooted to reality and practical. She doesn't want to seem to Julian as being pretentious and fretting about how much better she is than others, but she clings to the hat, a sign of her "well-bred" status.

O'Connor keeps using small events, like the mother giving the boy a penny, to have tremendous importance. For example, it causes all of the tension to burst - tension between both white and black, but also older generation and newer generation. Julian shows his true colors, gloating about how she has finally been put in her place, only to be guilty and remorse once she is potentially dead.
