"Assignment #8---Poems"

From all the poems we had studied in class I really liked " Those Winter Sundays" written by Robert Hayden in 1962. And I have chosen the readers response critisism to analize this poem. I think this form of critisism best suits this poem because in first place is a veryshort poem and talk in a way that the character on the poem is expresing thoughts and feelings and exist more than one way to analize and interpret thoughts and feelings, as we learnt " The easiest way to explain reader-response critisism is to attemps to describe what happen in the reader's mind while interpreting a text" (1490). That means for me that even when you read the same text or poem or any piece of literature today and the 1 year later the poem or text or piece of literature doesn't chanche but the way we make an interpretation of it, it could change because our mind is changing, and our toughts are changing and our experiences are changing too and all this affects the way we visualize the world soround us. In Robert Hayden's poem "Those Winter Sundays" we all can make a personal interpretation to me this interpretation is as follows: I can imagin an old man or even a mature age man sitting at the edge of his bed, alone, sad, or carting an amount or melancoholia looking at the orizont through his window, with his eyes and sad expeesion he look the outside environent a dark sky in the mist of one cold day of February, two or three bare dry trees, some flakes of snow falling the white vail that cover the grown and evrything, after one sigh he starts remember what his childhood looks like and perhaps now he was repeating his father story ... if he could move the time to the past he could say may be a thanks to that man who did slot for him . Well besides de simbilism that this poem contents also is a psychological features on this actitide of the character of the poem the notorious one is the guilt that take him to a kind of depresion. Finaly I can say that this new form of critisism open up to us the way we can analyze anything we ate doing since a poem on a book till a personal experience in life...!
