Talking in Bed

I read this poem by Philip Larkin and it was very interesting. It talked about how relationships grow far apart without intimacy. Couples start out great and then they slowly grow apart. This can be the cause of the lack of talking to one another. Many couples do not talk about their feelings. They want to keep it inside because they think it will make the issue worse. Lying to your spouse will cause even more conflict. Even thought this poem was written in the 1960, it fits with the time period right now. So many couples get a divorce because they don't communicate with one another.

So confusing

The readign was so confusing this week. The poem The Waste Land was confusing to me. It was hard for me to understand what was going on. He describes the world how it was and how it is now. I think that having words in German did not help me to try to understand.
The Dead was sad. Why didn't she tell him about the other guy? I feel bad for them. You should always love the person that you married no matter what. I think that the wife should of told him at the very beginning of the relationship.
