PLEASE HELP ASAP POEM: Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blue-black cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fire blaze. No one ever thanked him. I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking, When the rooms were warm, he'd call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently* to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love's austere** and lonely offices? *indifferently=without concern or care **austere= harsh, basic QUESTION: To conclude, tell me how the boy felt about what his father did compared with how we see he feels about it now, then connect this to the poem's overall message. Use the sentence stem: As a child, the speaker felt [ tell me how he felt about his father's positive act], but now [tell me how he feels about it now as an adult]. This shows that one of the themes of this poem is [tell me a theme or message that relates to your answer]. *

dude:

So do you know what the poem is about and talks about?

Jully:

Yeah, It's about a hard working Father who worked on a Sunday to make it warm in his family's house... Something like that...
