             The Ability to Take off Effectively.
             Faith is something that we as humans give to people as we see fit. We lose faith in someone that lets us down. Sylvia Plath's poem "Daddy,"" and Anne Sexton's poem "After Auschwitz- address losing faith. In the poem "Daddy- the speaker loses faith in her father, and the speaker in "After Auschwitz- loses faith in the human race. Plath's "Daddy- and Sexton's "After Auschwitz- are two poems that stretch the imagination. One would confess that "Daddy- and "After Auschwitz- are different, but their differences allow us to understand each poem. The rhythm, and resolution each writer comes to at the end of their poem, contribute to the meaning of Plath's poem "Daddy- and Sexton's poem "After Auschwitz-. .
             "Daddy- takes off like a four-ton turbo jet, while "After Auschwitz- takes off, sputters, and crashes to earth. While both poems are comprised of short to the point stanzas, the rhythm of these two poems is quite unique. The speaker of the poem "Daddy- has so much frustration. Frustration caused by her father has built up over the span of her life. As Plath's poem takes off, her emotional state rockets her into the air. By her saying "Daddy, I have had to kill you./Marble heavy, a bag full of God,"" she implies that she killed her father, but he is portrayed in her life as her god. The speaker experiences turbulence throughout the poem. Her love-hate relationship with her father is evident in this entire poem. It is best portrayed when she says "Bit my pretty read heart in two./I made a model of you."" The rhythm of "Daddy- is like a never ending trip around the world. When Plath states "At twenty I tried to die/But they pulled me out of the sack,/And they stuck me together with glue."" It appears that she is forever stuck on an emotional journey and that even with death her problems will follow her.
             "After Auschwitz- takes off like a jet with the statement "Anger,/as black as a hook,/overtakes me.
