ANALYSIS

Where I come from Fool Moon and Little FridaCentral Idea: The key idea of the poem

seems to be that a person is always formed

at least in part by the place where he or

she is bornPeople are made of places.

Central Idea: This poem reflects to a little

girl that describes how her life used to be,

and how she misses her childhood.

What does the writer feel? The poet feels

happy ofdoing exactly what a poet should

do: realizing something quite profound,

and sharing that idea with us in a beautiful,

accessible, thought-provoking way.

What does the writer feel?The poet feels

amazed by the fact that his daughter is so

innocent that her innocence can be

compared with the moons purity.

Language: the poet uses alanguage mostly

clear, straightforward for the reader.

Language: The poets employ a fascinating

language to achieve repetition and

personification, to establish setting and

build tension, and to provoke different

interpretations of their work.Stylistic Devices: the vocabulary is trimmed

and conversational, the writer uses of

metaphors, allusions and similes

restrained.

One of the main poetic devices usedin where I come from is a metaphor.

The whole poem is basically made

out of metaphors, some examples

are; nature tidily plotted which

conveys a feeling of artificial and

tidiness.

In the poem stanza one is all aboutthe city and stanza two is all about

the countryside. If you physically

move the two stanzas together you

will see that they fit togetherperfectly, and then they are joined

they make up her life. This

illustrates that the poem is a

metaphor of her life.

One of the most vital things in thispoem is punctuation. Punctuation is

used to slow down the poem.

Stylistic Devices: in the poem we can

appreciate few stylistics devices, the

common ones are the use of animals as

personification and metaphor. In the poem

they come to live as if they were humans,

also objects have this kind ofcharacteristics. An example of that is:

A dark river of blood (metaphor)

Cows are going home in the lane there,

looping the hedges with their warm

wreaths of breath. (Personification)

The moon has stepped back like an artist

gazing amazed at a work that points at him

amazed. (Personification)

Imagery: In city nature is at a premium.

Nature is pruned and trimmed and

carefully cultivated; it lacks spontaneity. On

the other in the country, it is unrestrained,

exuberant and natural blueberry patches

in the burnt out bush. Even though thethickets have been burnt blueberry has

pushed through and is thriving. Another

instance where nature grows wild is

Battered schoolhouses behind which

violets grow.

Imagery:"A cool small evening shrunk to a

dog bark and the clank of a bucket"

Then "you listening.

A spider's web, tense for the dew's touch.

A pail lifted, still and brimming - mirror

To tempt a first star to a tremor."All these images pass by one after the

other. The author doesn't seem to have

very much of a reaction to them

Questions:

What was the reason for writingthis poem?

Why did she use a simple languageto narrate this poem?

Questions:

What was the intention to write thispoem?

Why did he use the suspense tonarrate this poem?

Connection with the reality: It can say that

the connection with the reality is that

people sometimes dont know what

decision is the correct to live in the

countryside or the city. By using many

poetic techniques, Elizabeth Brewster

successfully describes the city as a

controlled place with routine and the

countryside a place of natural beauty. In

the end you see her idealized countryside

shatter into pieces when she realizes it

wasnt as good as it seemed.

Connection with the reality: the

connection with the reality that I can see is

that we have the feeling that everything

has come to a standstill, for a moment but

Frieda's direct speech breaks the silence

and thus, Hughes highlights her innocence.

A unique wonderful poem which gets the

readers as well involve in this scenery to

contemplate this picture as if in reality.
