Summary
This poem is I suppose
about Hope. Mueller compares many different aspects of life, objects and vivid
detail to hope. Mueller is telling her reader to open their eyes to the world
around them, and to realize that hope is in every little thing around us.
Mueller tells her readers that they can see hope in all aspects of life, and
explains that even blind people have hope which could be a play-on words for “blind
hope”, which is somewhat ironic. Mueller gets her readers thinking about her
points and eventually makes them agree that even the most normal things in life
can become amazing, depending on how we perceive them. Mueller concludes by
saying that hope can even be found in the very poem she is writing.
Reader
Response
Whoa, that was by far
the weirdest poem I have ever read. I was a little confused about the two
ending stanzas, because up until then I saw how hope was linked to the other
examples Mueller wrote. I am still a little fuzzy on how Mueller’s poem itself
has hope in it? I guess because Mueller hopes
her audience will understand and like what she is writing in her poem. I
think the poem would have benefited by ending with the word “Hope” in it,
because if the title of the poem where not there I would have been totally and
completely lost and not have understood the message.
