4/30/2017 0 Comments "IF I SHOULD HAVE A DAUGHTER"BY: SARAH KAYThe poem, "If I Should Have a Daughter" had a profound meaning to me. I like the way the author expressed all of her thoughts and advised her future daughter about life. It is a very relatable and inspirational poem because we all face hardships, but it's about learning to cope with those struggles that is important. The author used some comparisons that I feel contributed to the meaning of the poem, such as when she writes, "Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away" (Kay, lines 25-26). This quote emphasized her point that if life gives you hardships, don't give up. During her performance, Kay emphasized certain phrases and used many hand gestures and acting to express her poem. The performance made the poem appealing and have an emphasized meaning.
