<em>"While my hair was still cut straight across my </em>

<em> forehead </em>

<em>I played about the front gate, pulling flowers. </em>

<em>You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse, </em>

<em>You walked about my seat, playing with blue </em>

<em> plums. </em>

<em>And we went on living in the village of Chokan: </em>

<em>Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."</em>


The first stanza of "The River Merchant's Wife" emphasizes youth, nature, and playing between children.  The verb "play" is repeated three times, and she mentions "flowers" and "blue plums." There is harmony between the presence of "I" and "you."

<em>"While my hair was still cut straight across my </em>

<em> forehead </em>

The use of the word "while" and the image of her haircut as a child shows us the recollection of when they first met, before they were to marry.

<em>And we went on living in the village of Chokan: </em>

<em>Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."</em>

The "You" and "I" merge at the end of the first stanza, forming a "we"

What is the effect of McKay's use of the pronouns she and her to refer to America?
juin [17]

McKay personifies America as a woman who feeds him "bread and bitterness" and who sinks her "tiger's tooth" into his throat. By using the pronouns she and her to refer to America, McKay turns the concept of a country into a person who can cause the narrator harm even while he loves her. The effect of this personification turns the relationship between the narrator and his country into a more personal relationship, full of the conflicting emotions that come along with loving a person.
