The Gift
In “The Gift” by Louise Glock, the little boy is calling oggie, oggie, at
his front door. This could mean several things, first we would have to look at
clues. The poem states that the mother is praying to GOD. One could infer that
the boys dog died and he is calling without reward to his lost friend.
Therefore the most logical response would be that the boy was in fact calling
for his dead dog.
In the opening paragraph I stated what I thought the main idea for the
poem was. But that does not mean that is the only message implied. The child
also was calling for oggie, oggie, but in fact every once in a while a dog did
stop by and the mom pointed this fact out and said she hoped the boy would not
call this an accident. That could mean that the boys dog never died but ran
away, and that god sent the dog back to them.
Another thing that could have meaning in this poem would be that the boy
could be calling for a friend to play with because he is unpopular with the
other children. And “the beast that always cam to him could be a bully. That
could in fact be the real meaning.
The child at the screen door might just be a metaphor and what the child
is really doing is calling for someone to help him because he is ill. But yet
all he does is become peace-fully sicker. And the mom is praying for him to
get better and hopes that one day true health will come back to this youth. Or
in shorter terms, The Gift of life.
Those were my guesses, or hypothesis of what the real meaning to The
Gift were. And I don’t care how silly they may have sounded but those are what I
think the meanings were.
