God protect them in heavenas I could not protect them in hell.Give me the strength to believe --

not in peace, for that word has now

lost all its meaning -- but thata more human race will spring

from the loins of other girlsby some miracle salvaged

from such ruinous assaults,such soul-consuming hatreds.My lovely girls are gone. Can I

revive my will to trust once more?

If I were the Palestinian gynecologistwhose two daughters and niecewere slaughtered by an Israeli bombin Gaza recently, this would be

my way of telling you of sufferingoutraged. What did these beautifulgirls do to harm Israel? All innocent.All on the thin edge of the moment,

opening their future, meeting lifemore than halfway, in love with hope,dreaming of becoming a doctor,a teacher, a musician. Here

On this very splash of blood Lie torn notebooks, a comb,A towel and a kerchief to coverAn all-too-fragile brain-case.

Dreams of my Daughters

1. Speaker At the beginning the speaker seems to be an observer of the Palestinian gynecologist and at the end the poem talks as if it were the gynecologist himself

2. Deviation from normal syntax

I looked but could not find anything. It stayed pretty standard

3. Apply your own Experiences

When I saw the bombs in England on the television

4. Connotation/Denotation Slaughtered- Connotation: Painful, causing death to innocent peopleDenotation: The excessive killing of many people

Suffering-Connotation: Hurting or dying slowly and painfully.Denotation: feelings of mental or physical pain

Strength-Connotation: Being strong and powerfulDenotation: The state, property, or quality of being strong.

5. Metaphors, similes, images, symbols

Images – It gives me the image of a horrific death of many innocent people who don’t deserve the pain.

6. Sound and Rhythm It does not have a particular rhythm or sound. 7. Structure Blank verse because it has ordinary speech with no rhythm

8. Social, cultural, moral Values

This poet has strong moral values when he talks about god, heaven, and hell and also he is very against the war. He has cultural values by having a strong job of being a gynecologist

9. How your values affect your interpretation

My values are not the same as his because while he sees only bad in war I think there are some benefits that can come out of it even though it is a sad thing at the same time. I have the same religious values as this poem and I see what he is talking about when he speaks about heaven and hell.
