the portrait

This poem is about a young person trying to figure out about his father. When he finds a picture of a stranger witch happens to be a man, he thinks it is his dad. The mother got very mad and ripped it up, then slapped the kid. This poem is saying that people hold on to pain and hurt and when it is brought back to you it can become into anger. In this poem that is what it shows, when the kid brings the picture of his dad to his mom. She is very upset when she sees the picture. I like this poem because it is real and things like this really do happen.
