In the poem "My Fathers Song" by Simon Ortiz we see that the poem is written about a son and his father. After reading the first stance we can see that the son misses his father by describing "his voice" coming from "his thin chest." As you go on to read more you can see that the poem is about a song and I'm guessing that the song resembles there relationship.
As i went on to read more of the poem I stared to think that the way the son is talking about his father that possibly the father is dead. And while the son is saying how they caught some kind of animal and let it go off off of an edge or in the warm sand that maybe the son means he is "letting go" his father and is going to move on. Then when i go back and read the whole thing again i see that there is a lot of repetition in this poem and also the wording the very similar and rhymes a lot.
Julia, I am glad to see you quoting, but you need to do a lot more analysis here. Find all the techniques and discuss them with precision and specificity. Make sure you are using our poetic vocabulary consistently and correctly - the word is "stanza," not "stance."
