From the assertion of stanza above as, it means that the most of babies were doing activities like the explanations on the poem above. From that
statement, it was the reason why the writer said as synecdoche, where part of an object to stand for the whole thing.
4. The Intrinsic elements contributing in building the theme in
Babies
The theme is what a piece of fiction stacks up. It is the idea, the significance, the interpretation of person and events the pervasive and unifying
view of life which is embodied in the total. The babies is a poem written and published in 2005.
The babies was the anthology of poem with the main title ‘Daughter’ written by Michele Amas. Those anthology poems were written out of desperation
to contain a myriad of emotions that living with a teenager, make the reader to experience in daily. Michele Amas said in her poem, that she has attempted to
describe the shifting emotional landscape that a mother and child stumble into, unprepared and bewildered – full of blame and guilt, need and love.
The Babies’ poem tells of hard and joy of being parent. The reader can see this in several intrinsic elements that found in this poem. The figures of
speech here, such as: Metaphor feast and famine, like what was the writer analyzed above the feast here represent about emphasize to something that are
happy or pleasure: when someone has a baby or they feel something different in their life. Michele Amas compares the feast of having baby
with famine, the behaviors of babies sometime made someone feel annoyed. The behavior here,
such as: whining, hitting, bitting, yelling, and demanding attention. Michele also uses a symbol to enriching her poem; the writer found
the word college where the college is a place where people seek higher education. But here, the college is inversely than the literal meaning, this poem does not use
the word to refer to any better education. Besides the symbol, the writer found Diction. Feast and Famine line 1 stanza 1 and the college boy line 14 stanzas
4. In one side, the writer might interpret the attributing of Feast and Famine as Metaphor and the college as a symbol, but it also could be interpret as diction.
Here the feast and famine and college boy was not literary work only, but it more than what it was. Feast in which represents happiness, side by side with famine,
where famine pair with more emphasize on a dislike or a disturbing sense of comfort. The authors also choose the phrase college boy to describe about
someone which is a subject in this poem. In the last, the writer found the synecdoche in the word flakes. The flakes contained in this poem as if it
represents many of those babies are in place; these infants represent fragments of the overall nature of the baby that is why it is called a synecdoche.
This poem tells about conflict, the conflict here are the domestic family conflict, such as devotion and rage. The reader can see the word devotion
in the figure of speech feast and famine and rage in the last of the first poem, the college boyhas left babies on his sheets this morning.
The Intrinsic analysis above has built the theme, so the theme in the
babies’ poem is about: “The devotion of parents in the care of babies”
