Hand Shadows

The speaker is Mary Cornish, the writer of this poem. The diction is very simple and creates lots of imagery. The poem tells about an event that occurred in a tent while camping. Her father makes hand shadows of animals in the lantern light that show up on the canvas wall. The animals and their actions as shadows also occur in reality in the wilderness. Life goes beyond what is seen in front of us.
