Q2 p. 20 end of poem – Write and Discuss: Why might the author have juxtaposed the two poems “Uncle Odell” and “Good News”? What theme might be developed?

"Uncle Odell" Poem:

Six months before my big sister is born,
my uncle Odell is hit by a car
while home in South Carolina
on leave from the Navy.

When the phone rang in the Nelsonville house,
maybe my mother was out hanging laundry
on the line or down in the kitchen
speaking softly with her mother-in-law, Grace, missing
her own mama back home.
Maybe the car was packed and ready for the drive
back to Columbus---the place my father
called the Big City---now their home.
But every Saturday morning, they drove
the hour to Nelsonville and stayed
till Sunday night.

Maybe right before the phone rang, tomorrow

was just another day.

But when the news of my uncle's dying
traveled from the place he fell in South Carolina,
to the cold March morning in Ohio,
my mother looked out into a gray day
that would change her forever

Your brother

my mother heard her own mother say
and then there was only a roaring in the air around her
a new pain where once there wasn't pain
a hollowness where only minutes before
she had been whole


"Good News" Poem:

Months before the bone-cold
Buckeye winter settles over Ohio,
the last September light brings

my older sister,

named
Odella Caroline after my uncle Odell
and my aunt Caroline.

In South Carolina, the phone rings.

As my mother's mother moves toward it,
she closes her eyes,
then opens them to look out over her yard.
As she reaches for it,
she watches the way the light slips through
the heavy pine needles, dapples everything
with sweet September light...

Her hand on the phone now, she lifts it
praying silently
for the good news
the sweet chill of autumn
is finally bringing her way.

Wolf Pups

(1) To establish a wolf pack in the wild, a male and a female wolf must first form what is called a breeding pear. (2) A female wolf is pregnant for about two months. (3) She gives birth to one to eleven pups, newborn wolves are tiny and defenseless creatures. (4) Wolf pups are also blind and deaf. (5) They do not even open their eyes until they are about two weeks old. (6) At birth the average pup weighs just one pound. (7) At first, their sight is very poor, but it gradually improves until they have clear vision as adults. (8) When the pups are two to three months old, their eyes begin to change color from blue to yellowish-gold. (9) Their hearing has developed too.

(10) When they are still very young, pups feed on their mother's milk several times a day. (11) Females spend a great deal of time with their young after they are born, but other wolves will help mothers as well. (12) The entire wolf pack, when mother wolves are out of the den, steps in to protect the pups from threats. (13) Members of the pack might also do things such as lick the pups to stimulate them and keep them clean.

(14) During the first fourteen days of their lives wolf pups grow rapidly. (15) This is known as the neonatal period. (16) Males usually add a little over three pounds a week. (17) Females gain an average of two and a half pounds per week. (18) The rate of this weight gain slows down to about one pound per week when the pups reach twelve weeks old. (19) Growth will continue until wolf pups reach one year old. (20) Wolves are still called pups when they are about one year of age. (21) One-year-old wolves are nearly full-grown. (22) Full-grown wolves weigh an average of 60 to 100 pounds.

(23) By the time wolves are nine months old, they had spent time learning how to perform a variety of adult tasks. (24) These include helping their pack hunt for food, marking their territory, and keeping watch over that area. (25) Turning two years old means that wolves often leave their home packs. (26) They are now young wolves off in search of mates. (27) The goal for a young wolf and its mate is to breed. (28) Then, the two of them will begin the cycle again and create their own new wolf pack.
