People Getting Divorced By Lawrence Ferlinghetti

        In  the poem "People Getting Divorced " by Lawrence Ferlinghetti the poet made the reader see  divorce through the eyes of the spouse. He used the poem to explain the way the spouse feels , the way they think , and  impact divorce have on the people involved. Lawrence Ferlinghetti made a comparison between divorce and loosing one of your pairs of shoes . In a way it makes perfect sense since people say marriage is like discovering your other half then divorce must feel like loosing your other half.

  1. Yes, well, I guess that's true (losing the other half...). You'll want to look closely at the imagery for more specific suggestions. See my comments on Anrea Cantarini's and Bruce Tauber's blogs on blogs from previous classes.
