Komunyakaa's My Father's Love Letters
We have the characters of an educated (at least more so than his father) young lad, his hard working father with lack of opportunity for a proper education, and the not present but existing mother figure. We really get a very majestic image of his father, for he is a carpenter and does what he can to the utmost potential with is blue blue prints of which he can read, and his tools. The mother figure is out of the picture and the reason as to why we are unsure, but this letter sending seems like a regular basis thing. The son is the decreed writer of the letters, copying what his father says, however the father signs the letters so that a part of him is with that letter. The son knows his mother doesnt appreciate them saying either she laughs in mockery at them or incinerates them. But the fathers love for his wife is still present along with the son's love for his father.
