main characters speaker is an ocean diver
previous knowledge on topic many people go and scuba dive to explore the ocean. I have went diving before in the Bahamas, and the sight of the ocean life is breath taking and so beautiful.
what i imagine that is not specifically outlined I can imagine the breathtaking moment that happens as the speaker looks at the sunken ship. Its a beautiful piece of history and the speaker gets to experience if for theirself.
what i think about when i read I think about the mysteries of the ocean and how it holds so many secrets. There is always a beauty in things that you know have a past, and this sunken ship probably had a large history before it went down.
emotional response to the reading Peacefulness and tranquility seem to arise in me while I look back over the poem. The speaker finds a way to describe a beauty in the ship.
what i want to learn more about I want to learn more about deep sea scuba diving because it seems like an interesting and exciting experience.
my reaction to these situations The speaker says "the thing i came for, the wreck and not the story of the wreck, the thing itself and not the myth" makes me react like the speaker has. In a way, they are not trying to just look at all the reasoning behind what happened, but just look at the situation in what happened. I react to things in life with the same attitude. Most of the time I don't overthink why something happened, but I do observe what did happen to see if there was a ligitimate reason for it.
related to my life I have been scuba diving and seen the beauty of ocean life in its natural setting. I also take things for a grain of salt most of the time and try to look at the bigger picture.
***after class***
about the author Adrinne Rich uses language and sounds that help articulate the person and integrate the person into the world. Many of her poems are challenging to the self and expand on the multiple dimensions that the human personality can have.
favorite section My favorite section was when the speaker describes how easily it is to forget what she was looking for while she is swimming with all the natural inhibitors. Its cool that she says this because it shows that other things in life can be more entrancing than the thing you thought was the greatest detail.
summary The speaker goes out to the ocean to try and find a sunken ship. She scuba dives down to the ocean floor and observes the ship without overthinking the situation. The speaker tries to see the "damage that was done and the treasures that prevail."
reccommendation I would reccommend this poem to anyone who enjoys visualizing what the author writes and to someone who finds deeper meanings within words and phrases than just reading the poem.
