The Man on the Hotel Room Bed
*The narration shifts from the description of the man's condition, but quickly moves into observation.
*There is a lack of light in this poem, because darkness always prevails over the night.
*Objects that are missing things such as depressions in the pillow like our subject is missing somebody.
*The idea that our subject doesn't sleep, but moves as little as possible for sleep. There could be a connection in the images he sees.
*The use of mathematics to calculate things as fear and desire.
*The fact that the man has turned away from religion in contrast with the dark and sleeplessness.
*The use of religious imagery of praying and the contrast between traditional religious beliefs.
*The fact that man has to lie along and not be abandoned. This is intriguing idea because being alone is in contrast with being abandoned.
*Another sign deals with the fact the man lies in a hotel room. He doesn't want to be abandoned, but yet goes to place that has little human connection.
*Dealing with his mom and dad and how they were different could be an area to focus on since he dad was not always ready.
