SPOTTTs Poetry

 A young girl asks her mother for permission to attend a freedom march in downtown Birmingham with her friends.  Her mother, fearing violence, refuses to let her go and suggests that the child go to church instead.  After she leaves, the mother is relieved that the child is in a safe place; then, she hears the bomb explode and rushes out to make sure her child is ok.  She goes to the site of the church, which is now a pile of broken glass and bricks, and searches through the debris.  She isn’t able to find her child, but she does find her little girl’s shoe.

 When does climax occur?  What event do we infer from the last stanza?  What city/state is the location for the poem?  What are the two actual places where action occurs?

 Mother  Caring  Knowledgeable  Naive  Daughter  Reverent  Obedient  Innocent

 Inscription  Sixteenth Street Baptist Church  Four young black girls  Hist. ballads are still fiction,  Children’s march

 Examine Situational Irony  Theme for this poem- No place is safe from racial hatred if a society does not provide equal protection and punishment under the law.  Symbolism of Innocence:  “rose-petal sweet”  wearing white gloves + shoes.

 Each stanza a quatrain  Has rhyme pattern  2nd and 4th lines rhyme is metered (has rhythm pattern) though not same in all stanzas
