In this poem I see personification with the hands and how she talks about how they are they ached for labor. I also see enjambment throughout the poem. these are the only literary terms I see in this poem. I class I would like to discus what they mean at the end of the poem by saying "what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices?"

"Those Winter Sundays" by Robert Hayden
When I first read this poem I got the message that this persons father gets up early in the winter on sundays. He gets dressed and talks about his hand, how they are cracked. Then the narrator gets up and is afraid about how the anger in the house. She says "Speaking indifferently to him". To me this mean she is very carful with her words. She also talked about love but I cannot figur out what that means.

Monty, you need more analysis here. What makes you think the speaker is female? What does "speaking indifferently to him" mean? You are missing some of the sound patterns we have talked about in class. What do you think about the last line? Did you look up the word "austere" to help interpret it?
