The Dead Have No Respect by David R. Axelrod

When she died he

had her decked

out better than she’d

looked in life, only to

have her run away with 5

some sailor they

called Charon.

Saint Judas by James Wright

When I went out to kill myself, I caught

A pack of hoodlums beating up a man.

Running to spare his suffering, I forgot

My name, my number, how my day began,

How soldiers milled around the garden stone 5

And sang amusing songs; how all that day

Their javelins measured crowds; how I alone

Bargained the proper coins, and slipped away.

 

Banished from heaven, I found this victim beaten,

Stripped, kneed, and left to cry. Dropping my rope 10

Aside, I ran, ignored the uniforms:

Then I remembered bread my flesh had eaten,

The kiss that ate my flesh. Flayed without hope,

I held the man for nothing in my arms.

1. What is the central allusion in this poem?

2. Which details in the poem helped you to identify the central allusion? Which details make more sense once you understand the allusion?

3. What is the tone of the poem?

4. What is the poem’s theme? Remember to state the theme as a complete sentence of a “universal truth,” one that holds true for the poem and for life in general. Be sure to consider all the details when coming up with a theme. If any details contradict your statement of theme, you’ll need to rethink your statement of theme to include them.

Homecoming by Langston Hughes

I went back in the alley

And I opened up my door.

All her clothes was gone:

She wasn’t home no more.

 

I pulled back the covers, 5

I made down the bed.

A whole lot of room

Was the only thing I had.
