Week 17 Analysis: The house


            In the poem written by Rigoberto Gonzales, its main character is a house in which it discusses its thoughts about the things that occurred inside of it. The poem is about the idea of the house who do not care about what happened to the people living in it and it is not capable of expressing itself, because it is only a house. I think the idea of this poem is to commemorate all the things that a person did inside a house. The things that they have said, the things that they have prayed, the reason why they cried and the reason for their laughs. If a true could really think these are the thoughts that it would be thinking.
            I think this poem does not have an exact theme but it is simply an expression of what a person might think a house would think if it is capable to do so. If this story will be compared to a person, it is possible that there would be someone who will think the same, there are people who just don’t care about their surrounding or anyone, they only stay there but they will not have any response. This poem only shows that a house something that cannot do anything, whatever you do inside no one will know not unless you will tell it to anybody.
            If this will be compared into personal life, I believe that it would be someone who does not care at all and I think his/her life is kind of boring and meaningless. The human instinct is to collaborate with someone, talk to them, bond with them, and even communicate with them. It is hard for someone to be like a house, a case in which you do not have the ability to respond. You do not have the ability to feel emotion, I do believe that the writer wrote this poem in order to show how a casa would think if it is able to do so.

Reading Notes W17: Gonzalez, Part A

Rigoberto Gonzalez Casa A poem which depicts the idea of a house who has its own thought, the poem could be considered as a fable because the main character of the poem is a house. An object which does not have the capability to talk or think. The idea of this poem is that the house could be someone or something that a person could talk to but do not have the capability to answer back. I think the poem shows the emotion of the author with regards to a home in which there are numerous occasions, events, either sad or happy occurred inside it. It shows that the house, holds numerous memories.
