Rebels with Cause

The modern style of poems is very simple yet very thought provoking for its reader. The William uses eating plum and ice box to symbolize his relationship with his wife. The various types of ideas its reader get makes the poem very unique. The William's poem is about husband and wife relationship and Lucian’s poem is about personal gender pride. Tone of the William’s poem is sad tone.  The Lucian’s poem has a happy tone. The conceit of the "This is Just To Say" is the broken relationship of the husband with wife as Speaker says about the plums and pointing to his wife that "they are so sweet and so cold". It shows the unhappy relationship of the couple. The conceit of the Lucian’s poem is the women control of men by her beautiful body shape as speaker talks about her hips in the poem.

"This is just to say" by William Carlos William and "My Hips" by Lucille Clifton are rebellious poems because they show what the speaker is doing is unacceptable as social norm. In the William's poem the Husband is rebelling against his wife by eating the plums without her permission and in Lucille's poem the speaker is rebellious against the social norm which makes women to stay at home by saying "they don't fit into the petty places".

"Queensland police corrupt search warrant racket" video by 7 News Australia shows how police is rebellious against the people who are against the corruption by harassing them and get fake search warrants to silence those who speak against corruption. This video is very similar to the William’s poem but not to the Lucian’s poem because it shows the broken relationship of the police with society.
