The poem “I Am Offering this Poem” by Jimmy Santiago Baca reflects the poet’s love for his beloved for whom he has dedicated the poem.
The line “no longer cares if you live or die” best contrasts with the poet’s feeling of love. He wants his love to be a shelter and covering upon her beloved even if anyone isn’t concerned about her. He wrote the poem and dedicated to his beloved so that she would never feel an emptiness in her life even in his absence.
For a little bit of context, George woke up one morning and saw himslef transform into one gigantic insect in his bed,
Because he saw his situation as extremely unbelievable , he thought moing his body might destroy the current 'delusion' that he had and make his perception came back to normal.
If this is the poem by Edgar Allen Poe:
The poem uses repetition to put more emphasis on his words. The poem symbolizes loosing something that is close and meaningful to you. This poem uses a raven to show grief that feels impossible to overcome. His word choices, specifically, as he starts the poem he describes the night as dull and lifeless. The meaning of the death in his poem describes a woman’s death, which is what is causing him to be weak. He asks the Raven if he will see he again and the Raven says nevermore.
Hope this helps and sorry for wording this extra weird.
