Read the poem below and complete the instruction that follows. “tattoo” by gregg shapiro my father won’t talk about the numbers 3-7-8-2-5 between the wrist and elbow blue as blood on his left forearm instead, he spreads himself over me spilling his protection, like acid, until it burns i wear him like a cloak, sweat under the weight there were stories in the lines on his face the nervous blue flash in his eyes his bone-crushing hugs i am drowning in his silence trying to stay afloat on curiosity questions choke me and i swallow hard we don’t breathe the same air speak the same language live in the same universe we are continents, worlds apart i am sorry my life has remained unscathed his scars still bleed, his bruises don’t fade if i could trade places with him i would pad the rest of his days wrap him in gauze and velvet absorb the shocks and treat his wounds i would scrub the numbers from his flesh extinguish the fire and give him back his life analyze how the free- verse structure in the poem "tattoo" by gregg shapiro reveals shapiro's message?

The free- verse structure in the poem "Tattoo" by Gregg Shapiro reveals what his father went through in the Holocaust.

Explanation:

The numbers worn by the father tattooed between the wrist and elbow indicate that his father suffered the Holocaust.

The son has numerous questions to ask about this subject, questions that choke him and he would like to be able to change places with his father, and return the life he could not have.

Even so, the father tries to protect the son, so much that he feels it as acid, but he still appreciates it, and would like to tear that tattoo off his skin.

i highly recommend james madison. the work is simple and if you stick to it you can graduate quickly. the work is simple and the teachers are very interactive. the flow of the school work is all on your time so it's not really a dead line. go on their website and look at pricing and enrollment plans. i know when i signed up i got a discount. you pay a certain amount of money every month. it's kind of expensive but i did it in 6 days tops with just my senior year left : )

what is the question?
