Pablo Borbon Main Campus II Batangas City COLLEGE of INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY Literary Reflection #2: Inside Submarines NAME: Hercules M. Biacora Yr.&Sect: ELET 3102 DATE: Score: 1. What is the underlying meaning of the poem? Reflect and give your own personal point about it. I can relate this poem to a story of a man of struggles. A man whose life enough is hard, full of challenges and obstacles. This poem describes this man as a lone submarine fighting for dear life on a deep, dark ocean. Traveling without a set destination, drifting along with the waves. The man tries to live his life despite how hard and painful it may seem, trying to have a positive outlook and hope for better things. He lives and builds and then lives again and builds things that he was hoping for. It was his routine. But life is not that easy. Every time he stops, there is something that is waiting for him. A storm. A storm that was ready to trample the things that he has worked on, the things that he built. He stumbles and tries to look for help. But in the raging storm, there was no one to help him because the others were also busy trying to save their own lives. Once the storm subsides and he can see the debris of his work everywhere, he tries to stand up and put it back together. But the truth is, it was not the first time that the storm has knocked down his works. It happens now and then as if it was a part of his routine. But one day while looking at the debris of his works, he had thought of something. What if he tries something new and gets out of his usual routine. In the poem there was a line where the author said ‘Once I was at the equator, trying to slice the earth in half’, this was just like what the man had thought. What if’s was circling his mind. “What if for once, I let myself be free and less miserable?”, “What if for once I try to explore and get out of this submarine?” He made up his mind and tries to get up and explore. He had set up a new goal. He was ready. But then something pulled him back into the deep, dark ocean. Someone held onto his hands and said “If you do that friend, we would fall and won’t have any place to live.” With that, he was back again at the deep ocean. What do you think would have happened if no one pulled him back? If no one held his hand? If that was the case, he might have had found a new world, where his what if’s will be answered. But he stayed, and let himself be submerged again into the deepest part of the ocean.
