      The audience should not view abuse as a man hurting a women, it can be the other way around too.

      The photographer is not bias because the picture shows how it's possible for a women to be also as abusive as a man.

      I wonder why there is no capture in this picture.

      I wonder what the percentages of women abuses their men.

      I think it might be worse for the guys to speak up because they are suppose to be "the man" and if their lady is abusing them, they might not want to speak up because they are ashamed of their situation.

      I know that man gets abuse by women also, it's easier to always blame the man because in our society men are the predator and women are usually the prey.

      When speaking of abuse i think of a women with low self esteem being ruled by an ugly man, that abuse her  and put her down.

      Are they saying women is just as likely to be the abuser just as a man is?

      The author is confusing me , at first i thought it was about an abusive father but as i read it again i'm getting the ideal that it might be about an absent father and the one memory the kid can remember with the father was when they dance together in the kitchen.  This is an ambiguity poem, it can be interpreted in so many way because of the way the author wrote the poem. The author's voice is not direct, he used a lot of play on words that makes you think the dad might be abusing the kid but in the next line use words that portrait the father as a tough but loving guy.

      This poem is going to be about the author's father
  • The whiskey on your breath

      I wonder if his father is abusive towards him.
  • Could make a small boy dizzy;
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      His father is very drunk
  • But I hung on like death: Such waltzing was not easy.
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      Because his father was drunk, he might be putting all his weight on the kid.
  • We romped until the pans Slid from the kitchen shelf;
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      They are dropping everything in the kitchen because the father is not sane 
  • countenance

      definition: A person's face or facial expression. Old word
  • Could not unfrown itself.
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      I think the mother knows that the father is hurting the kid but she's too scared to voice her opinion so she just stand there helpless  
  • The hand that held my wrist
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      Is his father hurting him on purpose or is he too drunk to realize that he's hurting his kid
  • battered
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      Could mean battered as in an abusive or injured person 
  • At every step you missed My right ear scraped a buckle
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      As we all know a belt buckle can be used as a violent object, It's not unusual for a parents to use a belt on his or her children when they misbehavior especially in the past. 
  • You beat time on my head With a palm caked hard by dir
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      It seemed that physically the dad looks tough and strong yet he's dancing around the kitchen with his son. The author might be talking about how his father literally beat him or the "beat" of the music they are dancing to.

      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      I'm thinking that now the boy in the poem might be unconscious, he might have passed out  and that is peaceful to him  which is the end of the hurt and pain. Or it might also be that the father did all this to make him fall asleep and before the end of their dance he has fallen asleep in his father's chest 
  • Still clinging to your shirt.
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      hmm, this is definitely an abusive poem about a father, you don't cling on someone's shirt unless they are hurting you.

      Sound like a German name

      Might be German with that last name.

      The photographer didn't put any caption on the picture because the picture speaks for itself.
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      The audience should really take a moment to think before they speaks because some people can take the physical abuse and not the emotion one, people that are abuse emotionally usually have low self esteem .
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      I think it's black and white because the photographer don't want the audience to see no distraction. You can clearly see the emotions and reaction

      Why is the picture black and white?
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      It's saying that Verbal abuse can be just as horrible as physical abuse
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      The photographer's thinks the point of this picture is important because hes explaining that words are just as powerful to our self esteem. 
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      The guy might think that he's not hurting her because he's not touching her or leaving physical bruises but words but this women will end up believing all negative things about herself. 
    • ibukun Folarin
      ibukun Folarin on 12 Apr 13
       
      The photographer tried to make me care because it show an open mouth with a fist coming out of it to punch a woman. It's shows how verbal abuse is just as bad as physical one because it's deals more with emotions

  • Unspeakable Acts

      I predict that this poem s going to be about an abusive parent. The author might have went through a lot and is finally speaking up and doing something about it because she's tired of being the victim.
