The speaker's father moving the mice to the edge of the field serve as a symbol in "My Father's Song" by Simon Ortiz as:
A)It represents the kindness and decency of the speaker's father, which the speaker admires.
The poem “My Father's Song” isn't about a song in the traditional sense, rather it is a song of life. The poem focuses on the values and the idea of responsibilities with growing up. Throughout the poem, symbolism has been used. The teachings of the father to his son is symbolical as these teachings form the base of universal teachings too.
