the poet uses imagery or descriptive language. he creates a vivid picture of time in history.

this poet uses the "End-stopped" technique. "end-stopped" is a line that ends with a complete phrase or with punctuation.

the mood or the atmosphere of the story in this poem is both frightening and determined. the mom is feeling frightened and the child is determined.

This is very sad & heartbreaking to see or hear a parent having to through this.

this has to be the worse experience any parent has to go through.

The mother of the child is really protective, and in fear that her child could get harmed in any way.

it seems like Danel went through the ruffest stuff in jail. and the fact that Danel is able to tell Fonny his story, Fonny may have a memory of the story while he's in jail too.

Tish is getting some flashbacks about Fonny, but this time with one of Fonny's friends. and it seems like they're talking about the wedding that was *supposed* to come.

it seems that Tish can't handle Fonny being in jail. Tish seems to be thinking the worse if what would happen if Fonny was in jail longer.

and I think this is a better move than just marry someone without notice.

at least there wasn't any violence.

I would feel the same way.

I think it seems that everything has worked out well.

I think that was the main reason Tish & Fonny went to that place so that Fonny can admit to Tish's father that he wants to marry her

Fonny is feared that Tish might lose interest in him if she's away for a while,

geez..... all because of a newborn.....

they did found out about their son being in jail?

Fonny doesn't need to look all handsome just so he can get approved by Tish.

I think Tish is in a not so friendly neighborhood.

if they are gonna have a baby.... then drinking may not be a good idea.....

Joe is forcing them harshly to come over.

The sisters could be busy though.

That's True.

I think Bonnie thinks about his mother because Tish knows how much Bonnie loves his mother, & knows how much Bonnie loves Tish

either I think that Tish is saying that because they both did "something" in between the days of Fonny's freedom & imprisonment, yet they weren't married.

they do that because they might feel guilty to even look at that person.

agreed

raising your fist is the meaning of having hope & power.
