Answer key
1-Theme of “Diving
into the Wreck”
Exploration is the activity that takes place in this poem.
Whatever else the speaker is doing or feeling or saying, she is diving down
into the ocean to explore.
2-Theme of Aunt Jennifer’s
Tigers
“Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers” consists of three stanzas, each
with the rime scheme AABB. Its simplistic theme rests at the heart of radical
feminism.
The speaker appears to be making a statement about her poor
Aunt Jennifer. The unfortunate aunt engages in embroidery, but her fingers can
hardly accomplish the task; they find the “ivory need hard to pull.”
3-Theme of Ariel by Plath
This poem, written on Plath's 30th birthday, is about a
woman breaking free from the psychological fetters that had bound her from
childhood--the "shoulds and oughts" of a woman's role in that time.
4-Theme of morning
song
Sylvia Plath creates a full scene with her piece,
"Morning Song". She uses each word to draw a picture of her daily
activities.
5-Theme of Poppies in
October
“Poppies in October” is a mixture of beauty, gruesomeness,
and admiration.
6-Theme of The Bee
meeting
In the Bee meeting, the speaker expresses her sense of
insecurity firstly through the structure as she asks rhetorical questions regularly,
indicating her lack of confidence and uncertainty.
7-Theme of You’re
It describes the love to her unborn child in a beautiful
way.
8-Theme of Still
citizen sparrow
"Still, Citizen Sparrow," offers the scavenging
vulture as a hero in whose shadow mere sparrows are told to be still.
