"Coconut" by Paul Hostovsky
In the poem, "Coconut," I can see a child with a parent in a market or a toystory. The child gets a round type of oject that was only ninety-nine cents. The child does not know that this round object could bring him a beautiful gift that you have to work for. The child asked for his father to buy the coconut, but his response was "no." The child became very upset with this decision and began to cry. The child was very happy that he could keep this -- a hard rock--that was the happpiness of a the child. As he placed the coc0nut on the kitchen table, he realized that the happiness was on the inside of that coconut and it was his task to find a way to recieve that happiness that was just waiting for him.
We can see the image of the coconut between the dad in this poem. The dad in the poem relates to the outer shell of the coconut. The father refused and resisted to buy this coconut until the son began to cry. We can also see the image of happiness. As stated in the poem, "Bear with me I want to tell you something about happiness." This quote shows that happines can be important in our life. Happiness can be that inspiration that keeps us running everyday. "Began to consider how to get into it." This quote show that the way to recieve happiness is to think about how to get it or how to get into that coconut. Their are many ways, but only that one way will work for you.
Happiness helps many of us in everyday life. In my life, happiness is my friends. My friends are always their for me to make me smile no matter how bad my day is going. How can you become happy? Everyone has their own sense of happiness and it can be everything from listening to your music or just being alone, but how do we become happy? Sometimes we have to sit at that kitchen table and wonder how to get inside that coconut and recieve happiness. We have to fight that outer shell and think of how to get that happiness that is sitting in that coconut. Yes, this could be a task that could be a challenge, but yet one way or another you will always get into that coconut pass the hard part until you sail into your happiness.
