Commentary for Marriah Taylor blog- When Death Comes by Mary Oliver
Griselda Alvarez M. Commentary on Marriah’s post:
The poem, When Death Comes by Mary Oliver is very interesting. The
author mostly used metaphors in her poem to compare death to various
things or ideas. In one stanza, Mary Oliver says,” when death comes
like an iceberg between the shoulder blades.” Here, she compared death
to an iceberg. She may have compared death to an iceberg because an
iceberg is cold just like death.
I like Marriah's comment on the poem because she says that death comes unexpectedly. Marriah analyzed the poem very well and could articulate the main idea of the poem.
