This poem describes a father working with horses to plough a field. The father's shoulders are broad like a sail between the horse shafts and the furrow. He expertly guides the horses with clicks of his tongue and sets the wing of the plough to cut the sod without breaking it, pulling it over with a single movement.

'Follower' by Seamus Heaney
This poem describes the speaker's father working with a horse-drawn plough on their farm. The father is an expert ploughman who skillfully guides the horses and fits the plough. The speaker wanted to grow up to be like his father and plough the fields, but instead as a child he followed clumsily in his father's footsteps around the farm, stumbling and falling as his father worked. Now as an adult, the roles are reversed and the father struggles to keep up with the speaker, unwilling to let go of their connection to one another.

As a young boy, the speaker in the poem held his father in the highest regard, admiring the man's strength, skill and expertise as a farmer. The father was a guiding presence in the son's life, caring for him as he stumbled through his early years. However, the cycle of life continued its turn, and where once the son followed eagerly in his father's footsteps, it is now the father who trails behind his own child. Their roles are reversed as age begins to slow the father, and he finds himself relying on the son who had once relied so completely on him. The natural progression demonstrates how the bonds between family members endure across the generations.
Figurative Language In Poetry
The document discusses examples of figurative language in four poems. The first poem, "Table Manners" by Gelett Burgess, uses figurative language like "gug and gumble" to describe rude eating habits. The second poem, the lullaby "Sleep, Baby, Sleep" uses nature imagery like "large stars are the sheep" and "gentle moon's the shepherdess." The third poem, an anonymous limerick, uses figurative comparisons like "her hair was like silk" and "her skin smooth as milk." The final poem, "The Ram" by an unknown author, exaggerates the size of the ram with phrases like "stood ‘bout ten yards high

This document summarizes key aspects of graphic novels and children's books. It notes that graphic novels rely heavily on imagery over words, using panels on pages to tell a story. Experimental graphic novels may break from the panel format. Children's books are tailored to different age groups, with books for ages 1-4 focusing on pictures over text and books for ages 7-11 including more advanced language and smaller illustrations. The example of The Walking Dead graphic novel and The Very Hungry Caterpillar children's book illustrate these concepts.

War room example: Emily Dickinson Poetry
The poem describes Death as a kindly figure who stops to give the speaker a ride in his carriage to eternity. They pass through familiar places as the sun sets, with Death as a gentle guide. The speaker sees their journey with Death as an escape from life's labor and suffering into a peaceful eternity. The analysis notes that Emily Dickinson depicts Death in a pleasant manner unlike typical grim portrayals, as a relief from the difficulties of normal life. Her writing style uses short, succinct sentences without rhyme for easy understanding.
