Alfred's voice represents his love towards singing and his attachment towards his grandparents jukebox.
<u>Explanation:</u>
‘Hugging the Jukebox’ is a poem written by Naomi Shihab Nye. This is a poem about a young 6 year old boy, Alfred. He lives on a Caribbean Island with his grandparents. The poem depicts how despite being so young, Alfred sings the songs from his grandparents jukebox.
By hearing him sing in such a fluent way, his grandparents are surprised. By this we can figure out that Alfred’s voice represent his love and passion for singing. It can be stated from the fact that despite his grandparents trying to keep him away from jukebox, he’s still attached to it. Even while sleeping he hugs the jukebox.
One theme seems to be frustration with those who didn't fight back against overwhelming odds, which makes for a confusing judgment on the suffering child protagonists.
