There are many hints and clues that support my thesis. Here are a few examples, every corner of you is haunted by me, ready to pick up all the pieces I left you in, and she will understand why you do not look in the back of closets. When she said every corner of you is haunted by me, she meant that he is scared of her or afraid of anything that has to do with her.

In this poem, Ruth Belknap contrasted the perceived, romanticized pleasures of country life against its difficulties. I selected this document because I thought that it was interesting how she detailed the challenges of country life; she needed to constantly work and if she didn’t, she wouldn’t be able to provide for herself or for her family because they produced their own food and clothes. I found the verse “If with romantic steps I stray/Around the fields and meadows gay,/The grass, besprinkled with the dews,/Will wet my feet and rot my shoes” (28) to be especially interesting because even if there were pleasures of life in the country, she could not enjoy them because she was too preoccupied with her work and accomplishing what she needed

The title already gives insight into the contrasting themes in the poem. It is not clear what the poem is about, but the title tells us that it will be about two contrasting ideas, circles and squares. The speaker seems to be a very intelligent, optimistic young aboriginal girl, who speaks with a knowledgeable voice, and this makes the poem seem like she has understood why everything has happened to her and how it will benefit her in the future. The structure of the poem also relates to the two contrasting themes between the aboriginal people and the white people.
