Can anyone give some insight into the poem Sow by Sylvia Plath? Maybe themes present, or analysis of the poem?

Question by Lisa: Can anyone give some insight into the poem Sow by Sylvia Plath? Maybe themes present, or analysis of the poem?
I’ve read it through a few times and can identify the literary terms, etc, but cannot get anywhere in interpreting the meaning or the themes in the poem. Any help would be great. Thanks!.

The poem is below:

Sow

God knows how our neighbor managed to breed
His great sow:
Whatever his shrewd secret, he kept it hid

In the same way
He kept the sow–impounded from public stare,
Prize ribbon and pig show.

But one dusk our questions commended us to a tour
Through his lantern-lit
Maze of barns to the lintel of the sunk sty door

To gape at it:
This was no rose-and-larkspurred china suckling
With a penny slot

For thrift children, nor dolt pig ripe for heckling,
About to be
Glorified for prime flesh and golden crackling

In a parsley halo;
Nor even one of the common barnyard sows,
Mire-smirched, blowzy,

Maunching thistle and knotweed on her snout-
cruise–
Bloat tun of milk
On the move, hedged by a litter of feat-foot ninnies

Shrilling her hulk
To halt for a swig at the pink teats. No. This vast
Brobdingnag bulk

Of a sow lounged belly-bedded on that black
compost,
Fat-rutted eyes
Dream-filmed. What a vision of ancient hoghood
must

Thus wholly engross
The great grandam!–our marvel blazoned a knight,
Helmed, in cuirass,

Unhorsed and shredded in the grove of combat
By a grisly-bristled
Boar, fabulous enough to straddle that sow’s heat.

But our farmer whistled,
Then, with a jocular fist thwacked the barrel nape,
And the green-copse-castled

Pig hove, letting legend like dried mud drop,
Slowly, grunt
On grunt, up in the flickering light to shape

A monument
Prodigious in gluttonies as that hog whose want
Made lean Lent

Of kitchen slops and, stomaching no constraint,
Proceeded to swill
The seven troughed seas and every earthquaking
continent.

What would you do if you were told you had inoperable brain cancer?

Question by Warren D: What would you do if you were told you had inoperable brain cancer?
Of course this question is inspired by the diagnosis for Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy.

Since I am at an age where such a cancer would likely be a death sentence for me, this disease hits home.

I would get my affairs in order and then I would spend whatever time I have left writing everything I could think of–my memories, my cares, my concerns.

I would try to get closer to God. I would find the books I’ve always wanted to read and didn’t have time and read them. I would stay busy. I would try to do some traveling. I would like to see the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, and the Pyramids.

I would try to find everyone I loved so I could personally tell them I loved them. I would forgive all my enemies. I would try to get at least one flight on a supersonic airplane. I would take at least one cruise. I would try to find someone who would let me drive a train.

I would try to spend my last days as much like a little kid as possible.
I know I said what I’D do…

My question was, what would YOU do?

And the serious answers have been pretty good.
Wow, you guys have some great answers. I hope all of us live so long that they’ll say about us “He (she) lived a great and full life, and I’ll miss ’em until we meet again in heaven.” And, in the words of the great Irish toast, “May we be in heaven an hour before the devil knows we’ve died.”

Darn it, some of us SHOULD live forever. Too bad we can’t.

can you help me with my science assigment im confused ..10 easy points?

Question by Ble Bleh !!: can you help me with my science assigment im confused ..10 easy points?
ok so this are my instructions, i know its long but i just need you to tell me whats its asking me for , first i taught i knew but then it got me confused , its telling me to do six museum galleries and to choose one river but in the second step its asking me to do just one gallery ..im super confused if you can tell me in words thati can understand it would be so helpful thank 🙂

For this assignment, pretend you have been hired by a new museum to create a display on how rivers are important to human civilization. The museum wants you to create six separate galleries, each one with pictures and information about a different way that humans rely on rivers, or how human civilization and exploration has been affected by rivers. They also want a gallery dedicated just to displaying interesting facts about a certain river.

1. Select ONE of the rivers below and design six museum galleries for it:
* Nile (Egypt)
* Mississippi (America)
* Amazon (South America)
* Columbia (America)
* Yangtze (China)
* Volga (Europe)
* Murray-Darling (Australia)
* a river of your choice, such as one that runs through your hometown—you can go take your own pictures of it
2. Make a slideshow presentation to present the pictures and text you want in each gallery:
* Have one slide for each gallery (a total of 6 slides):
o four that show how the river is used by humans;
o one that shows how the river has affected civilization, settlement, or exploration;
o and one that shows a collection of interesting facts about the river.
* Put the pictures in the main part of the slide.
* In the Notes section beneath each slide, write text to describe the human need you are addressing and how the river provides or fulfills that need. Be sure to give examples and describe each one so that museum visitors understand how the river affects human civilization. Do not just say, “People use rivers for food.” Give examples of foods we get from rivers, talk about how we get that food and how people use it, etc

Best answer:

Answer by Luiz
You are right about the first question, it is one river to be described in 6 galleries. The second question actually asks you to make one slideshow (a powerpoint presentation), but this one slideshow portrays one different gallery in each slide. So in the end you have one slideshow with 6 ‘pages’/slides, each of those showing one different gallery.
