rnw+Mute+as+a+turnip+from+the+Fourth+Of+July+to+All+Fools’+Day,



In You're by sylvia plath she uses many different comparisons and metaphors between babies and other things. She compares a mute turnip growing to a baby's pregnancy that lasts 9 months. A turnip doesn't talk and it grows slowly. A baby in the womb doesn't speak and it grows very slow. The baby and the turnip gets bigger and bigger every day. It has july and april showing the 9 month period. I think this makes poem sound gentle because the baby is still unborn and hasn't been born into the world yet. This part adds to the poem how long a pregnancy is and how a baby is still growing in the womb.
