Week Eight

Reading Two: "Home Burial"

Speaker One: 

The husband of the two speakers, shows little emotion and built up walls of strength so grief and pain cannot over come his being. The man is built like a stone, the inside hurts yet the outside lives an average ordinary day. The man see's death and grief as an every day life issue.

Speaker Two:

The wife of the two speakers, shows grief and pain by crying and trying to run away from the horror building with the images that remind her of the death of her son, such as the grave, the spade, dirt, etc. The woman is very much effected by the sons death on the inside and outside. The woman see's death and grief as a curse from the heavens above, "I'm cursed. God, if I don't believe I'm cursed" (pg. 717).
