    The Gift By Li-Young Lee

    • 282 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Li-Young Lee’s, “The Gift” unquestionably communicates several ideas, some rather direct, and others buried within the rhetoric and composition of the poem. Although the meaning (of the poem) may be left to interpretation, one of the most prominent concepts of the story, in my belief, is the gift of love and consequent tradition of offering it to loved ones. In the beginning of the poem, the narrator describes his father comforting him in the painful situation of removing a metal splinter from his hand: “My father recited a story in a low voice. I watched his lovely face and not the blade.” The father’s calm and affectionate demeanor can be further attested to in the second stanza, “...I recall his hands, two measures of tenderness, he laid…

    It was around Christmas time, a supposedly splendid time to be alive. While Christmas had been a jubilant celebration in years past, I had noticed the mood on my father go from the festive man he once was, to a man who carried the burdens of the world on his two broad shoulders. His shimmering eyes turned to stares of longing, and his face once Rosey became a milky white. He would avoid the questions of gifts, festivities, and decorations as if no one had said a word, hiding the very truth that would soon pass through his cracked and dried out lips. All of the school bills, house payments, and vacations had tied him down like a bird chained to a tree. My father witnessed the true burden of Christmas that year when he struggled to provide for everything his children desired. The disappointment was something I was not ready for, yet is something that is inevitable when money is a scarce commodity. Like my father, Walter's accustomed to disappointment on daily basis. Almost daily, his wife, Ruth, shows "it is apparent that life has been little that she expected, and disappointment has already begun to hang in her face” (24). His family has only known disappointment, and it is eating at him, knowing that there is little he can do to help change the current state of his family as a Chauffeur. At one point in my life, my parents never worried about money as much as they do now…

    A person would be wise to give little to no affectionate value towards materialistic items. When times get that in your facing life’s struggles it is the family and loved ones that will be there by your side until the end, not the big screen television or fancy diamond necklace. Placing too much value on items is a major problem that many people struggle with and ultimately it is the ones that care for these people who get hurt the most. In D. H. Lawrence’s “The Rocking Horse Winner,” the author develops the character Paul to symbolize his devotion and struggle to earn his mother’s love, in order to suggest a theme that love should not be materialistic.…
