the child may find the mother's confidence 'strange' because she did not expect such an assured answer to her question; the child's question reflected her physical and psychological torment, which contrasted with her mother's calm answer

the child may find the mother's confidence 'strange' because she did not expect such an assured answer to her question; the child's question reflected her physical and psychological torment, which contrasted with her mother's calm answer

# data[].attributes.body
as the child looks up to the mom, the mother being confident in her statement helps to reassure the child that she was okay, and the confidence reflect her years of living and experiene

# data[].attributes.body
the mother's response is one that she says with strong certainty, perhaps because she truly believes in this saying, or because she is just trying to reassure her child. either way, the response brings comfort to her child, relieved that they are not dying according to their mother's theory.

# data[].attributes.body
the mother's answer was deceptive but gives the child hope which parallels the child's worries so he would have hope.

# data[].attributes.body
the mother is rather confident that the child will survive, which makes her few confident too that she wont die

# data[].attributes.body
instead of having some sort of long winded encouragement to motivate the child or simply ignore the child's pain and suffer, the mother had a direct, useful advice to make a fist in a way to reassure the child that she would be okay. it was also a good way to distract the child from the pain

# data[].attributes.body
YOU DANCE TO YOUR OWN BEAT, I'LL SING THE MELODY

it could have been very torturous for her, due to her motion sickness. Kind of like how someone trapped in a stressful situation.

# data[].attributes.body
sounds like she's both bored and in pain from her motion sickness. children being children, are often dramatic

# data[].attributes.body
anxiety, or the frustration of being in a cooped up space

# data[].attributes.body
I think the child keeps a shaky voice, almost as if shes on the very verge of tears as she 'begged' her mother. It sounds like she might also be seeking pity from her mother while she asks for reassurance at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
the persona's tone could be desperate as they overthink the situation and convince themselves that they might be dying. they would be asking it out of fear that they are dying and seeks comfort from their mother's answer

# data[].attributes.body
live laugh love :D

the swooshy swooshy sound is reminiscent of the wind, representative of movement and the persona and their mother moving on in their life, away from their home and going towards their destination

# data[].attributes.headline
the sibilance in line 6 enhances the effect created by the image of 'swirling' palm tress, as they create a sound akin to a gush of wind, which conjures the idea of movement, making the persona seem even more affected by motion sickness...

# data[].attributes.body
with the state of confusion the persona is in the first stanza, this is contrasted by the straightforward and confident answer given  by the mother to reassure and comfort the persona. the persona is comforted by a sense of security coming from something definite and certain as it seems to anchor her in this spinning and dizzying world

# data[].attributes.body
shes looking for comfort, a sense of security. knowing she can still make a fist, that shes still fighting, im sure it gives her a sense of strength and perseverance. the phrase said by her mother, probably a strong role model in her life, a strong empowering figure. to see her mother fighting, to earn these words with such strong confidence, should be strong and comforting to hear. we see how it affected her as after all these years she didnt forget, shes still holding on to the tether that binds her to life

# data[].attributes.body
on the contrary, i don't think she's anxious. she wouldn't be lying down or calling the palm trees boring

# data[].attributes.body
why did i first think 'life sliding out of her' was the persona giving birth ;-;

# data[].attributes.headline
the auditory (drum) and tactile (life sliding out of me) imagery convey how overwhelmed the child is, as if things were happening to her and around her that she could not control, leaving her afraid, anxious

# data[].attributes.body
sounds confusing to a young child like her. She doesn't understand what is happening and is scared

# data[].attributes.body
The imagery is kind of overwhelming, as if the sounds are overloading her senses and thinking, even if it was merely her getting carsick. It kind of emphasizes how sick she felt that around her was just sounds, and she could barely gather together her own conscience.

# data[].attributes.body
overworking the senses

# data[].attributes.body
the picture the poet paints is that of the seven year old child, dizzy and carsick on the road, being dramatic and overexaggerating their experience. perhaps the road is one that they have driven on before, but road trips are usually associated with fun, especially as a child. however, this is the 'first time' that the persona has this feeling of dread in the same road that they had driven on, full of memories of joy and enjoyment. this may be because they are leaving their home and the persona is reluctant to leave behind all they have grown up in and come to feel like they belong with in their 7 years of life.

# data[].attributes.body
sense of confusion in first stanza

# data[].attributes.body
you're hot then you're cold

# data[].attributes.body
the persona is leaving her hometown and leaving the life she has known to travel into the unknown. She feels the life draining out of her with every mile they go as she feels the distance between her and her "home".

# data[].attributes.body
I think the seven year old is simply carsick. At this age of youth it is easy to exaggerate simple things that are nothing more than minor and normal experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
temper tantrum  and making a fuss

Maybe the quote is an allusion to human existence? We are all going through the same stages of life and are ultimately going to leave the world one day, and it is something we should not forget at all costs, so that we would not overlook someone's problems.

# data[].attributes.body
so with the title the quoter seems to be reminding us, in a very condescending or weary way, like he finds us cynical and stuck up.

the poem is about crossing the border, likely because their stability in their home country was shaken. this could be related in the sense that the poet would like to point out how all our little human wars will be pointless because we're grounded by our mortality, we're all the same biologically.

# data[].attributes.body
we are always improving and developing everday. dead men should just be the idea of us growing to become a stronger better person, the weak pastself 'dead to us'. so dead men talking to dead men can refer to the reason why we can continue to live and interact is because we have survived through many difficulties the little, vulnerable child in us is dead and is replaced with matured adults

# data[].attributes.body
the persona feeling like a dead man recalling the words of her mom, a dead man

# data[].attributes.body
the use of death in the quote can give the readers an impression that the poem is something gory, and thinking making a fist represents violence.

however, there will be a contrast as the poem talks about determination. so even if we will all die one day, we should still continue to persevere so that we can still live a life worth remembering

# data[].attributes.body
maybe cause now like everyone so busy with school /work so like we are very tired when we actually have to converse with someone at the end of the day so it may be like we are as tired as dead men

# data[].attributes.body
we dont know the purpose in life and therefore are all useless like deadmen, following the same future like a bunch of zombies, grow up, work, die

# data[].attributes.body
we're all the same kind of people, be it nice or cruel, beacuse we all have the ability to be those different sides of us. and yet we forget the other sides of us because we deny it, essentially dead sides of us

# data[].attributes.body
i think the quote means that its easy to forget that in the end, we will all face the same fate of death and only when we reach that end do we realise that we are all equals. we fight each other, claiming others to be lesser than without realising that we are all on different paths of life to the same destination, death.

# data[].attributes.body
humans are all going to die eventually and we are thus all dead

# data[].attributes.body
we're all grounded and tied to the force of nature.

# data[].attributes.body
The epigraph to me means that every day and every second that we choose to grow as a person in general, we are also conversing with the 'dying skin' of another human who is too growing?

# data[].attributes.body
The quote repeated use of the theme of 'death' reflects how the persona is 'still lying in the backseat with all my questions', behind her dead mother, therefore how she is 'conversing with dead men'. As for how the persona is considered a 'dead man' herself, perhaps because how she feels that we is 'still lying', still reminiscing about her mother and that moment so painful and lifeless, who has ever since been surrounded by death, she now sees herself  in that image surrounded by death, therefore now refers to herself as 'dead' . The fact that the persona has still not '[crossed]' the 'border' suggests that she is still stuck in that image of death and loss, still not having come to terms with her mother's absence, hence a 'dead [man]' conversing with another 'dead [man]'. The word 'forget' could also symbolise how because she is stuck in that moment, she never forgets it, but does forget everything else, including the larger epiphany of being stuck with death.

On the other hand it could also just be a direct contrast to the persona's determination to live. The image of 'dead men conversing with dead men' is a morose and hopeless message that nothing ever matters and that everyone around is as already dead. This strikes a contrast with the persona's youthful determination and perseverance, perhaps showing how useless and childish it all is to hold on to life. After all the 'clenching and opening' of 'one small hand' indicates vulnerability and dying yet desperate faith. Thus the epigraph is used to almost mock the young persona's will to live.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that 'making a fist' is about staying strong and fighting against the impulse to give up. when you no longer have enough strength left in you to fight against that, then you are simply living to the terms of others and not pursuing your own purpose

# data[].attributes.body
holding on to the last bit of life?

# data[].attributes.body
I think the title represents a grit and a fight, not willing to let themself fall to their circumstances

# data[].attributes.body
The title is very impactful as it gives off the impression of a young girl standing up for herself, even in her darkest times.

# data[].attributes.body
the author needs answers

# data[].attributes.body
i think the title is very nice and simple because it summarises the action the girl uses to check her determination and courage. it also gives the symbolism of perseverance, which helps to give a slight foundation to what the poem is about

# data[].attributes.body
The author was high

# data[].attributes.body
i think it was about staying strong despite changing circumstances

interesting and unexpected connection between the title and meaning
