Voice/Figures of Speech
In the poem "My Papa's Waltz" i really depicted the voice of the narrator to be a adult male telling the story of his childhood. It was through his language and figure of speech that the author portrays the mans emotions towards his father. It is through the characters voice that the tone of the man comes through. He seems as if he has respect for his father, but has a great amount of resentment towards him. In poetry when the poets use figures of speech like similes and metaphors it helps to strenghten the voice, and the images, just like it did in this poem.
