This poem was particularly confusing I couldn’t find real connection. The symbolism with the persimmon basically was something that gave you that good feeling or a bad feeling. Obviously it is some sort of fruit but when the persimmon is brought up it represents a particular time to remember in a way. At first the persimmon is a hassle because he couldn’t quite figure out the difference between that that precision. “In sixth grade Mrs. Walker slapped the back of my head and made me stand in the corner for not knowing the difference between persimmon and precision.” I looked up what a persimmon: An edible fruit that resembles a large tomato and has very sweet flesh. The descriptions were very detailed by describing how to eat the persimmon. “How to eat: put the knife away, law down newspaper. Peel the skin tenderly, not to tear the meat. Chew the skin, suck it, and swallow. Now, eat the meat of the fruit, so sweet, all of it, to the heart.” Again, I couldn’t quite grasp the underlying meaning of this poem but it had a very nice flow. The only really connection I found was maybe the precision in finding the perfect persimmon.
