Relationships between Male and Female Act on Plath’s Two Poems
There are many outstanding poets during the World War I and II in American literature, such as Sylvia Plath, Gary Snyder, John Ashbery, and so on. And one of these poets mentioned before is the female poet, Sylvia Plath who famous for writing poems through the way of Confessional Poetry; and chooses two poems which all perform the relationship between male and female by Sylvia Plath. There are different kinds of relationship between male and female whatever the role they play in the two poems. In addition to, I will also talk about the similarities, differences and poetic styles of two poems were written by Sylvia Plath in the following paragraph. Because Plath is a poet who born after the World War I, at that time, Hitler like a devil to put all innocent Jews to the hell: the gas chamber in Germany. In one of the following poem will analyzes in the following paragraph, Plath use the word German and Fascist to describe the character as a devil and bad guy.
In ‘‘Daddy’’, there are three characters were referred in this poem includes the daughter, the daughter’s father, and the villain. It uses second-person point of view to write this poem. The poem likes the daughter would like to tell something to her father. From literal meaning of the poem, this poem refers the relationship between the daughter and the father isn’t well. The daughter is scared about her father. For instances, the daughter tells us she doesn’t have any courage to talk to her father even to breathe or sneeze. The title of this poem is ambiguous because I think “daddy” is a word to mention the relationship between the father and the daughter is so intimated and fine. But the truth is not, the daughter is scared her father, she doesn’t say anything to her father. I think maybe the poet should choose another appropriate word such as devilish father instead. But I think the aim to construct the tension by misplacing another word is successfully to draw attention to the reader even the reader may have an idea about the father is a good father before read the poem. But the reader will know the truth and overthrow their original imagines to the father and their relationship. In addition to, there is another guy who kills the daughter’s father and sticks the girl with glue. The girl misses her father so much and makes the model of her father when her father is killed by another cruel guy. In this poem, the girl always is a victim to her father and the villain. I think Plath condemns the German, Fascist, and war in this poem. Sylvia Plath uses a series of negative words like the German, swastika, Belsen, Fascist, and brute heart to metaphor the father who the daughter is scared. Plath also uses Jew, the victim in the Fascist society to metaphor the daughter. And Plath uses the roller to symbol the war. For example, Plath uses the roller to mention the Poland was destroyed and scraped flat by the war to emphasize the horror and power of the world war. And I also found the ambiguous condition in this poem. The girl misses her father so much after her father was killed by the villain. So she writes the poem and expresses her feelings which she never talks to her father. But she calls her father is a bastard in the end of this poem after she expresses her miss to her father.

Journal on “Nomad Exquisite’’ By Wallace Stevens
Before I read the poem, I look the title “Nomad Exquisite’’ and have a doubt who is the nomad? What is the exquisite mean? Because I can’t get correct meaning on the word “exquisite” from my dictionary. So I keep my curiosity and read the poem. In the first stanza of this poem, the speaker mentions the plant will angry for growth when the dew brings forth. And the next stanza of this poem, the speaker refers people will look all the growth of the plant when the dew brings forth. In the end of this poem, the speaker mentions people bless the crops they planted and grow like the golden side.
The poet expresses the plant’s mind through he uses the personification. For example, “green vine angering for life” is a personification to express them hates the dew brings forth on it. I find an ambiguous condition exists on the whole poem. The plant hates to grow up, but the planter hopes they grow up soon and blesses their crops become golden. It’s very paradoxical situation. I think the nomad may indicate the plant. It seems to metaphor the condition of the plant as a nomad who doesn’t want to settle in the same place. This poem is awesome because the speaker let two kinds of creature includes human being and plants expresses totally different thoughts on the one thing. I think maybe the planter hopes his crops grow up soon and grows in the golden side for making more money and become rich. But the plant would like to lazy on its growth. But the plant become angry for it will grow when it was poured by the dew. And I think the plant symbolizes children, the dew symbolizes the time, and the beholder symbolizes parents. Because children hope they may play toys, watch cartoon, and feel carefree forever. But time is cruel; children have to go to the elementary school when they are seven years old. After all, people all grows up and become elder. And the plants hopes children can grow up pretty soon and children will replace their parents and make money for their family.

Ghosts in The Woman Warrior
The subtitle of The Woman Warrior is Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts, stories about Maxine Hong Kingston’s memory in her girlhood. I finds many ghosts appears and with different meanings in different chapters of this novel. There are many dimensions on ghosts in this book including the spirit ghost and Kingston uses the ghost as a metaphor to criticize the American life and its civilization in some chapter. I would like to cite examples about ghosts from the fiction and refers the following focal points: meanings of ghosts, purports of ghosts which related to the woman warrior, and the importance of ghosts in this novel in following paragraph.
The first chapter, No Name Woman is a true story about Kingston’s paternal aunt who was not recognized by her family for the immoral adultery. Although Kingston’s mother forbidden her daughter tells to other people, Kingston still insists on writing this story and uses her imagination to make up the detail and consider the condition about her aunt after she is abandoned by her family which her mother doesn’t tell to her. Ghosts refer to her paternal aunt including three dimensions: the status of her aunt in her family after the immoral adultery, the spirit of her aunt after she die, and the haunting power to Kingston. Firstly, “Kingston’s aunt’s family curses Kingston’s aunt and condemns she is a ghost” after the immoral adultery. And Kingston’s aunt is not recognized as their daughter or sister by her family. In my own interpretation, Kingston’s aunt is regarded as a ghost because people consider that she is an invisible instead. Kingston never gives a name to her aunt but she chooses to use “No Name Woman” as the title of this story instead. In the second place, Kingston’s aunt drowns herself in the drinking water and die. In the Chinese folk custom, they will become a water-ghost if people were dying in the water. The water-ghost will find the best opportunity to find substitute to replace them as a ghost to reincarnate. So the villager is scared because they are afraid of Kingston’s aunt would like to find another substitute to replace her suffering in the water. What’s more, Kingston considers her aunts haunts her and hope Kingston voiced for her unfair treatment and tragic experience, so Kingston devotes herself to write the story about her aunts, who her family were unwilling to accept she as one of their family member. I recall the tragedy Hamlet was written by Shakespeare when I read the line “ My aunts hunts me─her ghost drawn to me....” In the beginning of the play, Hamlet’s father’s ghost tells Hamlet that he is trapped by his younger brother, Claudius and die. Hamlet’s father hopes Hamlet can avenge for his death.
