my father is a simple man
by luis omar salinas
i walk to town with my father
to buy a newspaper. he walks slower
than i do so i must slow up.
the street is filled with children.
we argue about the price
of pomegranates, i convince
him it is the fruit of scholars.
he has taken me on this journey
and it’s been lifelong.
he’s sure i’ll be healthy
so long as i eat more oranges
and tells me the orange
has seeds and so is perpetual;
and we too will come back
like the orange trees.
i ask him what he thinks
about death and he says
he will gladly face it when
it comes but won’t jump
out in front of a car.
i’d gladly give my life
for this man with a sixth
grade education, whose kindness
and patience are true . .
the truth of it is, he’s the scholar,
and when the bitter-hard reality
comes at me like a punishing
evil stranger, i can always
remember that here was a man
who was a worker and provider,
who learned the simple facts
in life and lived by them,
who held no pretense.
and when he leaves without
benefit of fanfare or applause
i shall have learned what little
there is about greatness.
family
my family lives inside a medicine chest:
dad is the super-size band aid, strong and powerful
but not always effective in a crisis.
mom is the middle-size tweezer,
which picks and pokes and pinches.
david is the single small aspirin on the third shelf,
sometimes ignored.
muffin, the sheep dog, is a round cotton ball, stained and dirty,
that pops off the shelf and bounces in my way as i open the door.
and i am the wood and glue which hold us all together with my love.

Write drafts of articles that present similar interpretations of the literature
Explanation:
When writing a literary analysis, the first steps that must be taken should include writing drafts of articles that present similar interpretations of the literature.
The reason is that first the writer needs to know what kind of data he has and then he must critically evaluate each one according to what kind of point he wants to make in his literary analysis. It also helps him to keep track of his literature and what it says.
