I need help creating a thesis and an outline on Exploration of the Father Child Relationship through the Use of Literary Devices in Heane, Hayden, and Roethke. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. Hayden comments on the guilt a child has when they realize they have taken their father for granted. In Seamus Heaney's digging the narrator expresses admiration and love for his father and grandfather. Heaney explores a child's need to please and a grown child's need to be his own man. Each of these poems depicts different events, through different eyes, and expresses different sentiments. However, through the use of literary devices, each author is able to convey and explore the unique relationship between father and child. In digging the relationship between father and child is conveyed from the child's point of view through the use of onomatopoeia, extended metaphor, and fragmented structure. The poem centers on the narrator coming to terms with becoming a writer instead of a laborer which his father and grandfather both had been. The narrator acknowledges his father's work and work ethic. He articulately describes his father's expertise at digging with admiration and writes, he coarse boot nestled on the lug, the shaft / Against the inside knee was levered firmly. / He rooted out tall tops, buried the bright edge deep(lines 10-12). Onomatopoeia is when an author uses words which resembles sound or suggests meaning. asking(line 2), ravelly(line 3), sloppily(line 20), quelchand lap(line 30) create the harsh sounds associated with farming and reflect the tense relationship between the narrator and his father due to the narrator's choice of occupation. The narrator prefers a quat pen(line 2) in his hand instead of the handle of a spade(Line 15). While the narrator chooses his own path he still wants to please his father. Heaney uses the extended metaphor of roots and digging to explain that what the narrator does is not altogether different from his father's occupation. Both hold a 'tool' between the fingers and the thumb - nug as a gun(Line 2) and he too chooses to it with it(Line 31). The narrator understands that he has o spade to follow men like(Line 28) his father but he digs too (as a writer), at the living roots in his head(line 27). The use of fragmented structure and meter mimic the narrator's indecision in having to choose between his father's legacy and his own desire to become a writer. Heaney begins his poem with a two-line stanza.
