"Feelings are not supposed to be logical.
rationalized his emotions" --David Borenstein. For example, in Richard Hugo's poem,.
"The Freaks at Spurgin Road Field", the speaker is at a baseball game, and the word.
handicapped is mentioned. This triggers his mind into remembering certain events that.
he still feels guilty about in his life. The theme of the poem is people tend to make.
decisions based on the standards set by society, instead of using their own minds. .
Richard Hugo uses metonymy, symbolism, and satire to emphasize the theme of the.
poem.
Richard Hugo uses metonomy in the second stanza of this poem to illustrate a.
whole experience or feeling. He uses the word contrite and dirt to show how he feels.
guilty or remorseful about a past event. He also used L.A. Union Station, '46 to give.
more insight on the more specific event that he feels guilty about. The speaker of the.
poem says that he is sweating through last night, so he feels so ashamed about this event.
that he still has nightmares about it. .
"The Freaks at Spurgin Road Field" uses symbolism throughout the entire poem. .
The beginning of the poem is set at a baseball game. The whole time, this baseball game.
is really symbolizing events throughout life and how people acted. The poem repeats the.
line, "the dim boy claps because the others clap," again and again. This line appears to.
mean that a boy who is probably mentally handicapped is clapping just because the rest.
of the crowd is clapping. This line also shows how people act in life. It is many people.
seem to be handicapped in the decisions that person makes. When the poem says that the .

mind moves back to stammering pastures where the picnic should have worked, it is.
referring to how people create an image in their mind of how life is supposed to be. .
When life does not work out directly as planned, people begin to feel that there must be.
something wrong. People who do not always agree with each others ideas on what is.
