Analysis on Mi Abuelo

The narrators Mi Abuelo is the granddad. The beginning connects with the end of the numbers. The poem is a depiction of human thoughts during his old age. The grandfather released his angst through the narrator. The conflict of the poem is that the narrator could non commiserate why the grandfather always told him that his hairs-breadth is a test. He argues with the grandfather saying that his hair is not a sieve but the old man continued to insist the sieve hair. From this context, it was seen that the character is a weak person because he could not show his real emotions towards one situation or thing. He turned his guilt and insanity towards other people to hide the complexities of thinking.The author attacked within the poem in a simple rationalization. As the reader, I saw two different conflicts that emerged in the whole poem but the author resolved only one conflict, which is the narrators conflicts towards the issue of having a sieve hair but the grandfathers conflict wi thin his own self was unresolved. The sieve hair in the poem symbolizes the spirit of the grandfather. His journey and struggle were sieved in an untangled path of existence. He give tongue to that the narrators hair is a sieve because by the end of it all, the narrators feel will be the same as the grandfather.In terms of the poems construction, it was not in full understandable because the authors way of dividing each railroad and stanzas do not have transact essence. Each line could not stand its own meaning alone because it depends on the next line in a complex manner. The term Mi Abuelo was not thoroughly defined. This term was only compared to the grandfather without justification of its true essence and meaning as a word. Because of this, readers would become confuse with the statement of Mi Abuelo and being the title of the poem. Despite of it all, the poem is a simple thing that is easy to understand and discuss. It shows the life and issues that old people used to ob tain whether it is meaningless or senseless, for them these are still important and applicable to life.Reference(1982). Mi Abuelo.
