You warm my body up as I hold you in my arms. When life ends our morals and values will forever live on on you.  Your necessities and assistants tire your parents. Your parents are 25 and 22. We thought our lives would stay the same.  But when you came into our life, our lives completely changed forever.]]> 2021-10-22 14:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836416091 al41940 https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836416668 Things that are repeated in the poem are 's' sounds and 's' words. I believe that these are repeated because it emphasizes the importance of the "son". Also, words that mean life are used frequently to embellish how his life revolves around his son.]]> 2021-10-22 14:18:19 UTC https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836416668 al41940 https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836416871 I believe the phrase "...our instrument Of immortality" can offer two different meanings. The first interpretation of the phrase can be how having children is our measuring tool of how long we will live. The second meaning could be how having a kid can be the end of the parents youth.]]> 2021-10-22 14:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836416871 al41940 https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836417489 The speaker of the poem is the father of the "son" that is referred to throughout the poem. The speaker seems nostalgic and sincere. He speaks gently as if he is speaking directly to his child as he puts him to sleep.]]> 2021-10-22 14:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836417489 al41940 https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836418100 The metaphor of the son being the father's executioner contributes to the entire meaning of the poem because it elaborates on the fact that most people associate having children with the end of your own childhood. So therefore, the son determines or "executes" the fathers youth.]]> 2021-10-22 14:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/al41940/pmnf2z0nehuiywj4/wish/1836418100
