What is the most likely reason Rita dove chose to call this poem sonnet

English

Elodia [21]3 years ago

The poem has fourteen lines.

Explanation:

Rita Dove is an African-American poet and her poetry is termed American “innovative” sonnet.  The African American sonnet is more of communication rather than a mere display of a poet's technical skills.  

For example:  In Rita Dove's Mother Love (1995), the sonnet is the primary element in the poet's combinatorial technique, emphasizing on the mother-daughter relation, calling upon the Greek myth of Demeter and Persephone.  

The number fourteen (its half and its double), rather than meter or rhyme scheme, is here the principle that structures the volume's thirty-five poems into seven sections." The numbers 14, 7, and 28 are therefore more than just figures: they play metaphorically with womanhood as a totality that is split into two halves, daughter and mother, and then doubled into two adults as the daughter breaks loose from the mother to live her own life. This is the very theme of the classical myth Dove chooses to revisit, recast into a late twentieth-century drama of loss and regeneration.

Political parties are teams of politicians, activists, and voters whose goal is to win control of government. To do so, parties perform essential tasks of recruiting and nominating candidates, garnering the resources needed to run campaigns, and pursuing a policy agenda that can help them appeal to voters. Although Americans tend to be suspicious of “party rule,” the Democratic and Republican parties are essential to the daily operation of government and the conduct of American democracy in elections. This two-party system helps to structure voters’ electoral choice and provide coordination to America’s otherwise divided and separated governing institutions.
