In "The Gift" by Louise GlÜck, 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 themother 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 infact 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 pointedthis fact out and said she hoped the boy would not call this
an accident. That could meanthat 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 couldbe 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 healthwill
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.
