How is Your Heart
I think the man in the story has had something very bad happen to him something that is hard to recover from like, losing his important job, or get married and divorced by a gold digger and lose everything and bad thing like that. It could also be how he had always lived and he has always been in with the wrong group. What ever it is it seems to me he will never get out of the loop of bad luck and the bottom of rum bottles I think its the road he will take for the rest of his life and is not going to change in a good way, His only way is down. Not a very happy story if you see it how I do but that's all me, If you have anything to say fell free too say so in the comments section below.
To a Stranger
in this poem I think he is talking about his parents because when he says "You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking" he must be seeing his parents in strangers that walk by and seeking advice. Another option is that he never liked his parents and never was loved by anyone growing up and was looking at strangers and seeing if they might be good parents. It makes sence when he says "You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me" your parents grow up with you right, So that's what I think this poem is about.
I like that you are writing your own thoughts and NOT just what is said in class. When you do that, remember that you are afforded your own opinion but that some opinions are more fully researched and developed than others. One question for your "To A Stranger" response would be how you interpret the sexual references in the poem if it is about his parents?
