I'm comfortable in my hair and skin I just hold up my chin up and grin I don't know why they're mad at me I just do what I do and be who I be He doesn't have to by my friend, I don't have to be his Haters gonna hate, you know how it is. Enjoy Life
He was irrelavent anyway It wasn't my choice for him to stay I hope the cops dont't find the knife You know what I will Marilyn Nelson wrote this poem in memory of Emmett Till. He was a young boy that was kidnapped by white men and tortured to death. In these poems it described every little detail that went on during his death and his mother's experience. He was accused of something that would have not been bad during this time. Since the color of his skin is different, he was treated like an animal.
The tittle of this poem is "Your Only Child, a Body Thrown to Bloat." The poem is connected to the poem because Emmett Till's body was thrown in the lake after he was fatally beaten. Emmett Till's mother didn't get justice after he died and ow he was killed because of hate and it describe how he was killed. The author is using imagery many times, for example "Surely you must have thought of suicide seeing his gray flesh, chains around his throat." "Innocence slaughtered by the hands of hate." The author uses a simile too, "Would you say yes, like the mother of Christ." The poet feels his mirror needs justice for her son's death. The mood in this poem changed in the second sentence of the poem when he described how he looked when he was found dead. The poem is asking you how would you as a mother handle that kind of a situation. The title of this poem is "Tears, Through the Patchwork Drapery of Dream." The poem is connected to the poem when Emmett Till's mother is thinking about all the activity that was going around during her son's lynching at his funeral. It was giving all this information that was screaming, and during the lyntching. How he was screaming , and the kids looking at him like they're looking at icecream. The author used 1 example of imagery, "The clouds standing around like devildoirs ." 1 example of metaphor, " Tears, through the patchwork drapery of dream," The author feels he felt a horrible death. It changes made in the second sentence when it described his screams. In Emmett Till's human expierence, it was horrible. It was saying back then, everything was horrible. The title of this poem is "Emmett Till's name still catches in my throat." Tghe poem is connected because like everytime she's hear his name, she thinks of what the white men done to him while they were killing him. Emmett Till's mother is getting him ready to go to Mississippi. She packed his suitcase and informed him about the white people in Mississippi. The autor used 1 simile, 'like syllables wayland in a stufferer's mouth." 1 personification, "some white folks have blind souls." The author also uses imagery when she says "Her only child. A body left to bloat." The poem changes moods in the last sentence because you can tell by that last sentence that he dies. It let us knoe how bad Mississippi was and how bad they treated black people. It also showed uis that his mother had a bad feeling about that. This poem does not have a titile. It paraprhased all the poems that were in this book. All the titles were made as one poem. It talked about Emmett Till's death and his funeral. The author used 2 similes she used was "like the full moon, which smiled calmly on his death." and "like his gouges eye, which watched boots kick his face." 1 imaghery she used is "Pierced bu the screams of a shortened childhoob." She feels sorrow for his mother and what she had to go through and what he had to go through. It changes mood in the 3rd line when he says "Pierced by the screams of a shortened childhood." becuase it went from relaxed to death. The poem is saying well describing his death and the funeral. Its giving us his mother's expierenced. |
