rnw+Wrapped+up+in+yourself+like+a+spool



In the poem "You're" by Sylvia Path the line "Wrapped up in yourseld like a spool" is hard decode at first. A spool of thread is wound tight with one thread wrapped around and around untill it wraps around itself. The Line is simply comparing the spool wound so tight with the thread wrapped around itself to the baby in the womb. The baby is curled up wound tight... like a spool of thread. The baby is wrapped around itself in the womb. After decoding the comparism the similie makes sense in a very poetic way. The first picture works for this line of the poem because it //is// a spool of thread. The images shows how tight the thread is wound. The images helps the readers to get a better idea of what the simmilie means. It shows that the thread is wrapped around itself so tight just how the baby is wrapped around itself in the womb. The second picture works because it shows how the baby hugs itself and is tightly wrapped its arms aroun itself. When the expression "wrapped up in yourself" is heard people usually assumes it means that a person is selfish and only focusses on them selves. In a way that dea of "wrapped up in yourself" works for the idea of a baby. A baby in the womb has no connection to the outside world. It only has itself in the womb. The two pictures help show the comparisum beetween the two in the poem. Having them side by side shows the reader what the author means and helps created a better understanding of the poem.
