1. In the story "Where are you going, Where have you been?" Connie fights with her identity of being a woman or a teenager, how does this develop the theme in the story?
2. Explain what is happening in the poem Paps Waltz and compare it to one of the poems that we have learned about this semester.
Papas Waltz is a poem of get joy and laughter. There is a young boy who is looking back on a childhood memory about his father and himself dancing around the house. Some people have thought that this poem is about the father being abusive, but as the reader seeing how the poem develops there is no sign of abusive relationship in this poem. The father comes home one night drunk, he takes the boy and dances all over the house with him, the boy is having so much fun. The writer is showing how much love there is between the boy and the father, if there was any sign of abuse the mother would not be laughing at them going around like this, the only time she gets angry is where they knock the pots around in the kitchen. Papas Waltz which I think is about love and a friendship between two people such as father and son comparing it too Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare the love in this poem is amazing. Shakespeare was an amazing writer the feeling in this poem and the imagery he lets you see just like in Papas Waltz you could picture the man and the little boy dancing around with one another and have some much fun the love between the two and how much the father wanted to spend time with him. In Shall I Compare Thee To A Summer's Day? the image William shows us is the beauty of the woman or man he is writing about, "The Eye if Heaven" compares the person to the sun and the sun is one of the most beautiful thing on this earth. Just shows the love he has for this person and how beautiful he thinks this person is.
