Every person should have the freedom to

choose their own paths in life and not just
follow their "owners" or parents
Given the theme of having the freedom to forge
your own path and make your own decisions in
life, there is one particular passage that the
reader can use to reach these conclusions.

An up-to-date fairytale is Loser by Aimee Bender.

person.
Nobody deserves to be unhappy or uncomfortable
in this life. People should occasionally endure
suffering, though. The speaker of At Dusk by
Natasha Trethewey observes a neighbor going
through one of those times when pain must be
endured and feels for her.
The author of the poem "At Dusk," Natasha Trethewey, makes use of literary devices like
symbolism and imagery throughout the poem. The author subtly conveys the message to
make your own choices in life by deftly crafting this piece about a cat debating whether to
stay at home or leave the nest.
Although she employs a variety of poetic devices in her work as a professional writer,
symbolism and repetition are her main concerns. Symbolism is used by mentioning HIS
TINY ROOM and WAVES to demonstrate how independent he is and how he continues
to believe that his parents will return. Repetition of words also serves to emphasize the
writer's feelings.
