Themes in the poem "The song of the women of my land "

The analysis of the poem "The song of the women of my land" by Oumar Farouk Sesay is-

The poet Oumar Farouk Sesay says that the women in his time used to sing songs whose lyrics represented the hardwork that they suffered during ploughing of land, the pain they suffered when they were treated as servants, handcuffed and ill-treated.

The song represented the pain, the love, compassion etc. The song represented their way of living and the history of time they saw.

But now all those women were dead and the song and lyrics were gone. They lyric were now used by local poets and singers. The voice of the song was dead now. The song was no longer comforting.

I think

Explanation:

The major theme of the poem is the sorrowful expression of the extremely toilsome and exploited lives of the women of the poet's mother land...

i hope it is not wrong

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
