Abstract

The present manuscript aims to explore the attitude and emotion/motivation of the author/agent, David Ray, necessary for the creation of Sam’s Book, the creation of his symbolic Metaphor for Loss through a close look at the speaker/agent as defined by Burke within the technical form of the poems. The paper is divided into four sections that give the methods of the analysis in the introduction, give the author’s use of language throughout the poems, give examples of the author’s memory of events, and in the last and longest section give the author’s motivations and the observer/ critic’s conclusions about the creation of the poems.
