    Hi Sir. I am an English major and I'm in my first year of college and this is a poem that we will be touching on and I must say this session was thorough and well put together. It is also one of my personal favourites. It gave me a clearer understanding on the poem and I am confident in acing my quiz and exams on this. I wish I discovered this channel sooner. Thank you.

    'barren children'. Parents would go work in another country and send a big 'tub' of food etc and that would last a while. In this poem, he was hope, she hoped he would get that visa and when he's there making the money, remember her.

      Why not both? In a gang doing evil jobs for money perhaps murder? Perhaps coke? It's subject to interpretation

    I don't agree that she cannot father him, What about the book my father who mothered me. I think what she meant is that she had to take on both roles physically as yes she cannot be a father. It is a typical caribbean setting especially in Jamaica

    • @JamainHatton
      @JamainHatton  6 лет назад

      Claire Clarke I agree that the poem is saying she took on both roles but I do not think a woman can possibly father a child. It’s just something she can’t do. She may do the best fathering she can as a woman but the actual job needs a man. Vice Versa is true. That’s what I meant.

  • @jasonfrederick1258
    @jasonfrederick1258 5 лет назад

    Don't you think that the Son is called Absolom because he betrayed the sacred trust that the father in his mother bestowed on the boy. And the Judas Iscariots mother might be the mother of the boy who lured her son into the gang life.?
    And buying of the moaning clothes is a metaphor for "acceptance" of what might be an all to inevitable future but it cannot be an all out deterministic attitude because she lives in "knee city and "prays for his soul" She must also be hopeful.

    • @jasonfrederick1258
      @jasonfrederick1258 5 лет назад

      I like the fact that you don't see the boy as physically dying in this poem ....it gives the poem more breath and depth...it encreaces the agony knowing the Son is dying slowly as he gets confirmed in a life of violence and crime...but this prolonged agony offers the possibility of redepmtion and change (HOPE)something so evident among poor suffering people especially women in the carribbean.
      Thanks for this interpretation I can't wait for class tomorrow God willing.
      Lol..

  • @claireclarke8971
    @claireclarke8971 6 лет назад

    Yes I agreed with how you explain the part, she's throwing a partner with Judas Iscariot mother. I was trying to understand it.
