Analysis Of Ballad Of A Mother's Heat By Jose La-Villa Tierra

Sometimes we generally don’t understand self, others, and the world, but in poetry, we can try to understander. In this essay I am will describe how the use of poetry contributes in a major way. In the poem Ballad of a Mother’s Heat by Jose La-Villa Tierra, Tierra uses style, word choice, and imagery to explain the theme. The theme of this poem is when a young man gets older he is willing to break his mother heart for the women he wanna to give all his love to.

This use of style adds to the wondering feelings of the narrator. The poem brings to mind love and betrayal. This adds to the overall meaning because it shows how boys grow to change with their feelings.

For explame Tierra states “Still in his hands he held the prize.” This piece of evidence breaks up the theme by the denotation of meaning of the word “prize” which means a thing given as a reward to the winner of a competition ,but the connotation meaning is much deeper which mean “prize” is the “youths’s” mother love that he had for his mother. Another valid point to the word choice of the author repeatedly with the word “youth” the denotation of the word means young. The author stresses the word “youth” to get the point across that the boy was young.This makes the theme more
