Families Values in Knoxville, Tennessee, Those Winter Sundays, and Two Kinds :: Two Kinds, Amy Tan

Family. What do you remember of when you hear that word? Some pot think of relatives or the people that they live with. Maybe a stepfather, stepmother, brothers, or sisters. To me, family is love, cultism, and caring. muckle of a family want to be together and love to do things for severally other, such as do the dishes or wash the car for them. The poems that near deliver my family values are Knoxville, Tennessee by Nikki Giovanni and Those Winter Sundays by Robert Hayden. The one that does non represent my family as much as the others is Two Kinds by Amy Tan. I love the poem Knoxville, Tennessee by Nikki Giovanni. It gives me a sense of people wanting to be together, family, wanting to be together. Giovanni wrote this poem so that it is told with a kid (under the age of ten). The childs world is make up of his or her family. He or she is mostly with the family at the church service picnic (Giovanni 50, line 12) or at the church / homecoming (Giovanni 50, lines17-18). Th e child goes places with the family and is with them all of the time. He or she has not reached the teenage stage of ascent and does not mind being with his or her parents. That is why I want this poem. It shows love for family through the uncontaminated eyes of a child. Those Winter Sundays represents family devotion to me. The father in the poem is so devoted to his family that he gets up early / and put his clothes on in the blueback cold (Hayden 51, lines 1-2) to fond(p) the house for them. He does not care about anything except private road the cold away for his family. That is the kind of thing that is done out of true, deep, matt love. Families stick together and support each other, even if one is not so kind, like the teenager who fears the chronic angers of the house (Hayden 51, line 9). Families forgive, forget, and move on loving each other. Two Kinds is a story that does not represent my idea of family. The young daughter (Tan) does not obey her mother and continua lly disappoints her. Her mother wants her to learn piano and believes that she has talent, but Tan does not agree. unlike my mother, I did not believe that I could be anything.
