My blog for "Leda and the Swan" and "Daddy" might have a little bit of a different take then most. I took a full year of Greek Mythology so I know in the poem "Leda..Swan" Leda is getting raped by the great god for the sky Zeus. Zeus is known for the way he cupples with mortal women and produces mortal heros that do great things. This peos shows how extreamly violent Zesu was to Leda and how she had not means of escape.
Daddy, this peom was about the WWII and the Halacost.The narator for the peom thinks for he dad as unvincable, almost god like and when he dies it effects her greatly. Also her fauther is a Nazie and she beleaves her self to be at least a little bit jew or gypsy which were treated as harshly as a Jew was. I am Gypsy and i have anstors that had died and where marked in the camps by there number. Anyway in the end of the peom the Girl fianly is about to seperate herself as a person from her seroundings.
