Text: Analyze


One of the main themes this text addresses is the difficult relationship between a daughter and her father. This information is provided through several media and modes of communication, such as visuals of the daughter leaning against the stove and the female voiceover that reinforces the "daughter's" perspective in the spoken poem. Even if we don't yet understand what the text means, asking basic questions about its theme or main ideas helps us create a reading of the text.
