Assignment 10.The poem "perhaps the world ends here" by Joy Harjo.After reading this poem is really interesting the way, the style of words that,the author prescribes the poem .The main theme in this poem is family and life in general.Harjo,has opened the first stanza using the word" kitchen table".The world begins at a kichen table".But what mean a kitchen table?This means a lot means our first steps of life.She describes the kitchen as a very important part of her life, the place where we eat, drink ,spend more time cooking and the place of mealtime.A room where we gather as a family talking about different topics.A simple place but with a lot of memories.In the last stanza Harjo, uses a beautiful sentence,"perhaps the world will end at the kitchen while we are laughing and crying eating of the last sweet bite".This means ,that we have learned much from this place good moments and bad moments and of course, the end of everything because nothing is permanent.
