While both sex and sibling behavioral issues aren’t often related to cooking, both Elaine Magarrell and Sally Croft are able to integrate these themes into their poems. In both of the poems “The Joy of Cooking”, by Elaine Magarrell, and “Home Baked Bread”, by Sally Croft, the authors use different types of imagery and figurative language in order to convey a completely different idea through the art of cooking. Both authors use rather explicit ideas and themes in their writing, and use remarkable

“I want to keep mine.”: Symbolism, Grief, and Difference in Aimee Bender’s “Marzipan” In Aimee Bender’s short story “Marzipan,” the use of symbolism, tension, and ambiguity create strikingly different expressions of grief between the two characters who have firsthand experienced loss, the mother and father.
