What can you infer about the speaker's feelings toward her father? why doesn't she try to intervene in the conflict between her parents? read the poem "without title" by diane glancy

From the poem, I can infer that the speaker

The speaker does not try to intervene in the conflict between her parents becasue

In this poem, the poet quietly observes as her father adapts to life in the city while foregoing core aspects of his culture that he loves. Her father is a Cherokee Native Indian whose culture treasures animals.

Her father loves hunting but nobody seems to share the same interest with him. Even his wife shouts at him when he brings the hides and horns of the animals.

The gentle manner in which the speaker talks about her father show her love for him.

Native American culture and the precepts of society which requires a child to be obedient, and respectful could be reasons why the child did not interrupt her parent's conflict.

This poem seems to have Glancy´s father, a Cherokee man, as the main character, and Glancy herself as the narrator. She sadly reflects about her father´s struggle to maintain his native American identity while living a westernized existence.

Explanation:

The conflict between her parents seems to be out of the narrator´s hands because she was probably just a child when the conflict described happened.
