A relationship is an emotional connection with someone involving an interaction between two or more people. There are many types of relationships, some functional and others far from feasible. I will demonstrate this through my texts of; Little Fugue and Morning Song, both poems written by Sylvia Plath; the movie Love Actually; and the book Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce. Little Fugue by Sylvia Plath is my first example of how we all perceive our different relationships. This poem is about Plath talking about her father and herself and the lack of communication between the two. Throughout the poem, Plath contradicts herself by saying, “I was seven, I knew nothing,” but she constantly talks about the past, remembering. Her tone is very dark and commanding, she uses many images of blindness, deafness and a serious lack of communication: “So the deaf and dumb / point out the blind and are ignored.” Her use of enjambment shows her feelings and pain in some places, in other places it masks her emotional state. She talks about her father who was German, a Nazi. Although his father was from Germany, he was in no way a Nazi or fascist. He was a simple man who made sausages. “Cut the sausages!” However, she used it against her father, who died when she was only eight years old, saying that she still had nocturnal mares: "They color my sleep", she also mentions the alleged Nazism of her father: “Red, mottled, like cut necks. /There was a silence!'. Plath also talks about her father being something of a militia general, "A Hedge of Orders", also with this image she recalls her supposed vulnerability as a child, speaking as if her father was going to send her away, "I don't am guilty of nothing Despite all her claims of being vulnerable... middle of paper ...... her child being an alien, she still stumbles out of bed "heavy as a cow" at a single cry from the child. .Morning Song is literally the cry of a baby calling for its mother. The relationship between mother and child is strong, even though Plath seems to view her child as something completely un-child. connection with your child I learned that relationships are diverse and can change from moment to moment I learned that not everyone shares the same views as me when it comes to relationships. people I care about. The world around me is a very different place from my perceived ideals. Relationships are like diamonds, with many sides and facets. It can be perfect and clear, or cloudy and distorted. That's life. 1 American spelling used as this is a direct quote 2 Corus is the capital of Aly's home country of Tortall.
