From "Born Bad"

Speaker:

"She listened to every book, every poem I read her

One day I read her one of my own. I came very close. I

whispered it into the pillow

Situation:

Significance:

I want to be

like the waves on the sea like the clouds in the wind,

but I'm me

One day I'll jump

out of my skin

I'll shake the sky

like a hundred violins.

Stylistic Devices:

Connections:

That's nice. That's very good, she said in her tired

voice. You just remember to keep writing ... It will keep

you free, and I said yes, but at that time I didn't know

what she meant" (60-61).
