<span>The lines,

"Marble-heavy, a bag full of God,
Ghastly statue with one gray toe"

as well as

"Daddy, I have had to kill you"

have a metaphorical meaning. "Marble-heavy [...] toe" refers to her father's time as a soldier. As her father was in the military she had difficulty finding a connection with him. "Ghastly statue", specifically, indicates that her father seemed emotionless and that she had difficulty, once again, caring about him because she did not know him. Finally, the author had to kill her father metaphorically because she never got to know him, and felt more comfortable burying his existence away from her in an act, perhaps, of shame for what he did or perhaps fear of recalling a fatherless, melancholy past. 

You could say that tone is: patricide, coldness, distance, disconnection, isolation, etc.

What was the point of view of harry truman doctrine speech
kirill [66]

He stated that United States should provide support to free people who are continuously resisting and showing oppressiveness against outside pressure or armed minorities.

<u>Explanation:</u>

President Harry S Truman provided 18 minute speech before joint session of congress on 12th March 1947.

Truman stated that U.S. should provide all aids (financial/political/military) to nations which are under threat from internal or external forces. Truman Doctrine marked change in U.S. international policy to containment from isolationism. As an immediate effect in 1947, his effort helped Greek and Turkish to fight against communist.

How does running for political office impact public policy
Rudiy27
When you run for political office people have many opinions on politics.  It can make or break your reputation.  Anything you do will become controversial and it will not be entirely a good thing.  Take Obama Care as an example.  NO one is on one side
