In my Grandmothers Love letters the author uses imagery to get us to fell how he is feeling reading the letters. He says how the letters are "Brown and soft" you can imagine feeling the old letters and you can hear them reading the letters and the feeling behind them. Also how the feelings change because he don't know if he can think of his grandmother the same way after the letters.

The symbols help the poem to be explained and brought to life in both "This is a Photograph of Me" and "My Grandmothers Love Letters."

Margret Atwood explains what the speaker believe where she is," it is difficult to say where/
precisely", it is as if she is still trying to live. The pauses of her sentences shows how she is trying to come up for air, she is trying to breathe. Trying to come up for air, but she is trapped and drowning into society.

The vivid description of the background in the picture in "This is a Photograph of Me" adds to the main idea of the poem. The background has a "part of a tree," something that is like a branch, and a "small frame house" surrounded by "low hills." The surroundings show how the speaker feels displaced in the nature setting. The speaker's identity id lost in the mist of the description of the background.

There are no stars tonight

But those of memory.

Yet how much room for memory there is

In the loose girdle of soft rain.

There is even room enough

For the letters of my mother’s mother,

Elizabeth,

That have been pressed so long

Into a corner of the roof

That they are brown and soft,

And liable to melt as snow.

Over the greatness of such space

Steps must be gentle.

It is all hung by an invisible white hair.

It trembles as birch limbs webbing the air.

And I ask myself:

“Are your fingers long enough to play

Old keys that are but echoes:

Is the silence strong enough

To carry back the music to its source

And back to you again

As though to her?”

Yet I would lead my grandmother by the hand

Through much of what she would not understand;

And so I stumble. And the rain continues on the roof

With such a sound of gently pitying laughter.

The theme in "This is a Photograph of Me" can relate to the theme of confusion in "My Grandmothers Love letter". Both poems use free-verse rhyme scheme, imagery, enjambment and symbolism to portray the theme of confusion.

In "This is a Photograph of Me" the speaker is confused about who she is. She is trapped in society, and has no true identity.

In my Grandmother's love letter the Theme is confusion. The author is confused after reading the letters about if he can look at his grandmother the same way.

"This is a Photograph of Me"  has a free-verse rhyme scheme just as "My Grandmothers Love letter" free-verse.

The free-verse rhyme scheme is an example how rhyme scheme affects the meaning of the poem. Free-verse rhyme scheme allows the poem to read smoothly and flow accordingly. For example, the lines read very fast because of the way the line read. Two lines read "as you scan/it," the free-verse rhyme scheme allows the poem reads very quickly from line to line.

It was taken some time ago.
At first it seems to be
a smeared
print: blurred lines and grey flecks
blended with the paper;

then, as you scan
it, you see in the left-hand corner
a thing that is like a branch: part of a tree
(balsam or spruce) emerging
and, to the right, halfway up
what ought to be a gentle
slope, a small frame house.

In the background there is a lake,
and beyond that, some low hills.

(The photograph was taken
the day after I drowned.

I am in the lake, in the center
of the picture, just under the surface.

It is difficult to say whereprecisely, or to say

how large or small I am:
the effect of water
on light is a distortion

but if you look long enough,
eventually
you will be able to see me.)
