The title is ironic as once he grew older and continued to explore nature, events occur causing the naturalist in him to gradually go away . Heaney documents

Human memories have the ability to undergo three different stages: sensory memory, short term memory, and long term memory. Memories are encoded, stored in the brain, and later recovered. However, some memories are forgotten. In order to elongate the time span of a memory, a person must use the technique of maintenance rehearsal. Through mentally or verbally repeating a word, event, or other information, maintenance rehearsal allows a person to be able to remember things longer and more accurately

How Memories shape humanity "Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future." – Elie Wiesel Memories are what enable us to learn from our past experiences, make educated guesses, and establish our own individuality. We couldn't learn, grow, or develop a sense of morality without memories. Hence, they form an important part of what makes us human. So, let us then consider what happens when a human-like creature is introduced into society

The mirror that said I had a happy childhood and everything was fine, had broken. My dad was only violent when he would drink. He would hurt my mother

published in 1990 and takes reference to a context of Duffy’s own childhood experience of moving from Glasgow, Scotland to England at the age of six. In a literal sense, the persona describes her experience of moving from her “own country” to an unfamiliar place, her inability to adapt to the new environment and at the end reveals her inner hesitation of her true identity. Throughout this poem, Duffy tries to convey the message that one’s childhood experience shapes and has a great effect upon one’s identity

emotionally rocky childhood. As a child Hayden spent most of his time reading due to his poor vision. He later became a domestically and internationally recognized author. “Those Winter Sundays,” first published in 1962, is one of Hayden’s most popular poems.

including sensation, perception, and language acquisition and so on, but among these, memory appears as one of the most interesting subjects to investigate with a scientific inquiry.
