Poetry Analysis: Woman Work

Title: portrays the everyday work that the stereotypical woman does

Paraphrase: women are greatly under appreciated. All of the work that they do help fuel society and without it society wouldn't run as smoothly as it does.

Connotation: "Storm blow me from here.." This phrase stood out to me because the author is trying to portray how exhausted women are without directly coming out and saying it.

Attitude: The author's attitude seems to be very exhausted and almost sympathy seeking from the readers.

Shift: The tone/attitude of the author shifts after the the list of woman's duties is stated. Before this it very desperate and pleading and then after the author takes on a much more laid back and relaxed tone.

Title Revised: The title is a dead give away about what the poem is going to be about. The title is "Woman Work" and that is exactly what the poem is about.

Theme: I felt that there were two main themes throughout the poem. The first being that its okay to work hard, but its also okay to take a break from your work. The second theme I felt was significant is to not under appreciate the work that women do for the society.
