When you're a little kid, life's your personal amusment park. Its full of rides, face painting, good food and everything you love. When you're a kid, you love the tricks and secerets of this 'amusment park' called life. Nothing in life is bad or wrong, when you're a kid at least. But as you mature into a teen, life's less like an amusment park and loses some of it's wonder and sparkle. The poem 'My Papa's Waltz' by Theodore Rothke is a prime example of finding fun or beauty from everything.
The poem is veiwed at 2 sides. Neither side can be proven wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. NO ONE IS RIGHT OR WRONG. One side of the poem is that its meerley a child having fun with his father. He had a hard day of work so he had a drink to 'relax'. When you're 'relaxed' you have more fun in some cases then when you're tense. It could just be veiwed as having a good time.
The other side. (cough cough My side) is more realistics. I think it's about being abused blindly or being in denial about who you love or how they treat you. I think because he's a kid he can find how they 'play' to be unique or not like everyone else. But it's not all that great. Sometimes when you're abused especially by someone you love. You can be blinded and accept what they put you through because you love them.
But overall I think the poem is classic.
I thought that you had made your post very short and simple with some details. Because first off you made your post very nice and childish, like it was talking about little kids. But then you started talking about when your getting older and im guessing when people go through puberty, all of your thoughts change, and you get more mature (well atleast most of us). Also you dont get those childish thoughts anymore about playing at the park, but its natural to get those thoughts once in a while. Then you wrap it up with your opinon and how you feels about the response you were writing to, Which is My Papa's Walt.
