I have chosen Give Me Back by Chrystos as the passage is fairly interesting with its choice of imagery. It is important to see how certain aspects are described as it gives an idea of ones perspective. This poem relates to other essays as another way of describing feelings that are kept within. Quotes like, “I take what I want” and “sealed me up in wax & ashes” sounds the author’s method of describing what feelings are felt like. The word choices used like “sealed” implies the author could not escape the matter. The first quote mentioned shows that they are no longer accepting of being sealed.
