The Silence

For this assignment I chose"The Silence" by Phillip Schultz.I have already been working on trying to write about the poem and am about ready to start typing my paper. I choose this poem because it reminded me right away of all the friends I have that I don't keep in good contact with from high school and so on.I know it it's hard took when life keeps moving on, but I think what t the speaker is trying to point out is that sometimes all someone needs is Theo friend to talk to, to listen our just to be there. The poem also discusses a time a grief the both had that the both enshrined with alcohol. This must have been the turning point in their lives. When one took the road of school and never stopped. The other got off the road but never helped his friend with his troubles either. The friend would call when he was drunk. In pain. The speaker still dreaming. In the end the speaker realizes even the angels couldn't help his friend ease his pain.
