Faizan Ahmad, Stealing PEE Paragraphs, Question #2

# data[].attributes.body
Q: What caused the person to act in this way?
A: The reason why the person acted this way was because her parents left her. The
speaker states, “I wanted him, a mate, with a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own
brain,” (Duffy 3-5). The speaker also states, “I’m a mucky ghost, leave a mess, maybe pinch a
camera.” (Duffy 13). The speaker describes the snowman as cold as the slice of ice inside her
brain. What could this “slice of ice” be? I think that the speaker is trying to make the slice of ice
represent the cold and blue inside of her mind. She is feeling lonely, cold, alone, and she is
comparing the freezing snow of the snowman to her loneliness. When the speaker says that she
pinched a camera in line 13, she means that she stole it. According to Collins Dictionary, pinch is
a verb that means to steal something, usually of little value. In this case, she is stealing a camera,
which may seem like a meaningless object, but it means much, much more to her. We already
know from context that the speaker is lonely. These cameras that she steals could have
memories, memories of families on trips together, memories of love, and family gatherings. Why
would she steal these anyways, even if they have nice pictures? My theory is that she can’t make
her memories of get-togethers, or love, or family trips because a piece of her family is missing:
one of her parents. A parent could have died or walked out on her. That’s why she steals the
cameras. She wants memories of families

3. Does the person feel guilty about their actions?
The person does feel guilty about their actions, but not sympathetically. After the person kicks down the snowman, they hurt even more internally, as they realized that the snowman itself wasn’t the children’s source of enjoyment. As written by the poet after the person destroys the snowman, “maybe pinch a camera” (Duffy 13) The camera is symbolic to memories, and in this poem the memories relate to the connection made when the children assembled the snowman. Out of self-pity, the person wanted to relive the memories that others had created so the snowman was, “reassembled in the yard” (Duffy 16). In the end, jealousy and loneliness consumed the person, and they eventually gave up on making a connection.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 1 | Why is the person kicking the snowman down?

In the poem “Stealing” by Carol Ann Duffy, the protagonist is kicking the snowman down because they have realized that the snowman isn’t a human or “mate” (Duffy )3 but a mere snowman. As said in the poem, “he didn’t look the same.” (Duffy 17). This conveys that the protagonist no longer sees the snowman as a person, this is supported again later as they no longer personify the snowman just referring to it as, “the snowman” (Duffy 24) and as the protagonist refers to it as, “a mate with a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain” (Duffy 3-5).

What has caused this person to behave this way?
There are three things that stand out as potential causes for this person's behavior. First is their attitude, that you should take what you want. Second, their own experience of life is hard so they feel like other people should have the same experience. Third, they steal to find purpose in their life and release their boredom. The person's attitude is clear in the poem, with statements like; “Better off dead that giving in, not taking what you want", "Life’s tough” and “...I’m so bored I could eat myself.” All these things describe a person who has a negative experience of life and steals, makes others feel bad to try and make themself feel better.

# data[].attributes.body
She kicks the snowman because he did not look the same and it didn’t the same as the first snow man was made with love from the family but she built it out of seeking the same emotion, but it didn’t feel the same, they may also do this to feel a sense of superiority as the person's life seems to be very boring and dull as they say sometimes I feel so bored I could eat myself, she may just be looking for a friend but she just cant find one and that may be another reason why she kicks the snowman.

# data[].attributes.body
Why is the person kicking the snowman?

This person is projecting revenge on the world, they feel that taking away joy will show a perspective of how they feel. As stated, “part of the thrill was knowing that children would cry in the morning” “life’s tough” (Duffy 9-10) perhaps that is because of some past trauma, maybe their father or family member walked out. They don’t take money, jewels, or anything ‘precious’ the character takes a snowman something that families and friends make together during winter. They take it to rebuild in their yard, trying to recreate the moment of joy and the family bond that the kids felt, hoping that they would feel it too. The character then said, “he didn’t look the same” “I took a run and booted him Again. Again” (Duffy 17-18) we are seeing how the character reacted to the rebuilt snowman, a copy of what was supposed to be fun, but instead it being filled with anger and almost misery. We see how they are broken and empty of the warmth that those memories bring.

What has caused this person to behave this way?

They are behaving this way as they have experienced disappointment and great pain and are blinded by anger, as they are jealous and want to fit in. They want to do what everyone else's doing, it's as if they are outsiders. “Better off dead than giving in, not taking what you want.” and “I joy ride cars to nowhere, break into house just to have a look.” (Duffy, 6-7) The person wants to belong to something they hate (society), and they are just sick of what they are living through. As for the other quote, they joy rides cars to nowhere and breaks into houses just to have a look, because they are jealous. "I’m a mucky ghost, leave a mess, maybe pinch a camera” (Duffy, 13) Possibly, they don’t have these things and want them. Their life is so different and full of misery, they envy someone else that has a better life.  A camera contains memories, and the person may of wanted to feel the same way. “It took some time. Reassembled in the yard, he didn’t look the same” (Duffy, 20-21). This person wanted to recreate the memory by making the snowman themselves, but the experience wasn’t the same. They also must’ve thought that a family created this snowman, together. That could be something that this person doesn’t have, or they aren’t in the same situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Why was she kicking the snowman?

The girl in the poem was kicking the snowman because when she first saw the snowman she could see that there was a happy family who built it together, when she made the snowman she realized it wasn’t the same not because of how it looked but because she realized how lonely she was, she had no one to keep her company and she didn’t feel loved so she took out her anger on the snowman. Evidence for this point would be “he didn’t look the same” (Duffy 17). this quote proves part of my point because she realized she was lonely and she didn’t get to build it with someone she cared about like the people she stole the snowman from. usually building a snowman should be fun but the girl in this poem was so bored she hated everything about the snowman because she thought the snowman could be her friend and keep her company but it did not work. Evidence for this would be “I wanted him a mate with a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain” (Duffy 3 and 4). the sentence may have sounded strange but all she wanted someone that understood her she was still lonely because the snowman was just made of snow.

The person feels sad and really lonely. The person is acting this way because she is mad that no one wants to play with her and no one to even see her. The way I know that she is lonely was because she said “I wanted him, a mate” which then gave me the evidence to say she has no one because she is trying to make friends with a snowman that she stole from her neighbor. She also said “I’m a mucky ghost” which from my point of view meant that it’s like no one can see her. In conclusion the problem that’s caused the person to act like that was because of her loneliness.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Why is the person kicking the snowman down?

I believe that the character in the poem does not have a caring family and goes to steal other family’s items that represent memories. He goes into a house just to have a look at it

(To know what it feels like to be in a loving family), Steals a camera

(To see what other families keep as memories) and a snowman. I think that the snowman represents the joy families feel while creating the snowman, and the character wanted to steal it so he can keep the feeling for himself, realizes that keeping it does not actually give the same feeling as the family when creating the snowman. I think he destroyed the snowman out of anger that he can’t feel the same as the other families.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker kicks the snowman down because they want to communicate that they are not in a good mental state and the speaker may be angry at a particular individual than taking that anger out on the snowman. The speaker expresses, "Then I was standing alone among lumps of snow, sick of the world" this demonstrates that the speaker feels that their life is boring, and she has no one to talk to about her feelings.

# data[].attributes.body
Why Did the Speaker Kick Down the Snowman?
I believe the reason the speaker kicked the snowman down was because she desired a friend. Throughout the entire storyline, the visible reality looks as if the speaker does not have any friends or people to spend her time with. For example, when the speaker was explaining about how she kicked the snowman, the speaker quotes “He looked magnificent; a tall, white mute beneath the winter moon. I wanted him, a mate with a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain.” What this quote is in sighting is the speaker needs someone to speak to. The words “white mute beneath the winter moon. I wanted him” expresses that the speaker wants someone who would simply listen to what she has to say and would not judge her.

# data[].attributes.body
The speaker kicks the snowman down just out of the sense of loneliness, being bored, and being unhappy with their life. Although, It was also out of jealousy, possibly because of not getting to experience the same life as happy families or didn’t have a father or mother growing up. "Part of the thrill was knowing that children would cry in the morning" (Duffy, 9). "Mostly I'm so bored I could eat myself" (Duffy, 21). These quotes demonstrate that the character is fed up with life, but it also shows that they stole the snowman out of jealousy and anger.

# data[].attributes.body
The question: What caused the person to act in this way?

The answer: the person portrayed in stealing on a surface level is a selfish thief who only cares for his/herself but on a deeper level he/she is lonely and wants to be like other. When the poem states "I wanted him, a mate with a mind as cold as the slice of ice within my own brain" this could mean that she/he is lonely and wants someone who wont judge him/her and is like him/her.

The narrator is kicking the snowman down because they are very unhappy with how it turned out and the time, they spent on rebuilding it didn’t feel joyful. The narrator states: “He didn’t look the same” (Duffy 17). “I took a run and booted him. Again. Again” (Duffy 17-18). This demonstrates that the snowman didn’t look like how they wanted it to, and they didn’t have an exciting time making it like the other neighbouring family from who they stole the snowman did. Because of this, they kicked him trying to destroy all the sad memories of their life and all the hardships they have faced because they wanted to feel the good times and memories of a family.

# data[].attributes.body
What has caused this person to behave this way?

The speaker behaved like this because they have a tough life. They don't have an easy life as of things that has happened to them. They speaker said: “Life’s tough” (Duffy 10). This indicates that they have a tough time and has some issues with their life. They act terrible because of the things they are going through.

the person is kicking the snowman down because at first when they thought they found someone to tell their problems too but when they found out that the snowman isn't alive they kicked the snowman multiple times, "he weighed a ton: his torso, frozen stiff, hugged to my chest" which shows the person hugged the snowman, but why would anyone hug a snowman out of the blue?? i think that the person told the snowman about things that have happened to them and the hugged it and when the snowman didn't give any reaction the person relied it wasn't alive and got mad and kicked his head off.

Why is this person so desperate to feel something?

Question 2

This person is evidently hurting, very deeply, possibly because of a motherly or fatherly figure walking out the proverbial door. This leads me to believe that because she is suffering, others must suffer, as she states “Life’s tough” (Duffy 2) in the poem. She steals cameras, joyrides cars, crushes snowmen, all for what?

She uses boredom as an excuse to explain her actions to the reader, possibly even to herself, this reinforces my statement that if she suffers, all must suffer.

She states that she has no “mates” meaning not only did her motherly or fatherly figure leave, she is completely alone, as she says, “a mate with a mind as cold as a slice of ice within my own brain” (Duffy 1)

That leads me to believe that she is numb. The pain has made her numb, she doesn't feel bad when she destroys and steals the snowman, the cars and the  cameras and a bust of Shakespeare. (Duffy 5)

The possible answer to this is that in the poem in stanza 1 she/he mentions that she/he has a "slice of ice in my own brain" which means his/her sense of judgement or sorrow is locked up from her/his mind so she/he decides to kickdown a snowman showing us the audience that she/he wants to get revenge on the people who treated her/him wrong and caused her/him to act like this.

The person is kicking down the snowman at the start because she is lonely and wants a friend like her that is quiet and will pay attention to her. In the poem it is stated “A mate as cold as a slice of ice within my own brain” (Duffy 3-5) In the middle of the poem the person kicks the snowman down again because she doesn’t feel the happiness the children felt when they built the snowman because she didn’t have the family/ friends experience and built the snowman all alone with no one.

Q1: Why is the person kicking the snowman down?

I think that the  protagonist kicked the snowman down because they wanted children to feel the pain that they are feeling, as said in the poem "Part of the thrill was knowing that children would cry" (Duffy 9-10). This shows that the  protagonist wanted to see others in pain. This also might be because of past trauma. After kicking the snowman, the  protagonist steals it and tries to re-build it in their yard, and after "He didn't look the same" (Duffy 17) they were "sick of the world" (Duffy 20) This shows how broken and empty they feel.

# data[].attributes.body
"What has caused this person to behave this way?"
her boredom and loneliness, she never fits in, and has nothing to do, clearly she has no friends since she's always so bored and lonely "Boredom. mostly, I'm so bored I could eat myself." (Carol Ann Duffy, Stealing) the sudden boredom can be a sharp sudden feeling of boredom that never goes away, "breaking into houses just to have a look." "I joyride cars into nowhere" sometimes loneliness can be a cause for boredom, and she's always so bored, midnight she steals a snowman, breaks into cars and houses, she has no friends to spend her time with, as she always speaks about the crazy things she does at night, her boredom drives her to do crazy things just for a feeling of thrill.

Why is the person kicking the snowman down?

The protagonist in the poem "Stealing" By Carol Ann Duffy is kicking the snowman down Because when the protagonist is stealing things, i believe they are trying to fill some kind of dark void within them and are trying to feel better. when she does not feel better, she kicks the snowman down in anger , being quote "sick of the world"
