For A Duro

This poem is really symbolic of Christmas; I felt like this poem really shows Christmas at it's best. I kind of took the Duro as symbolic of what people really value. Christmas is so different for every person, especially when the reader kind of can compare American Christmas to Tanizia. For some Christmas is a time for new electronics and the latest gadgets but in this poem the author values having a roof to sleep under and a soldier who is lucky to get a cigeratte. A Duro can make a difference in anybodys life, and as the author dreams about having a butler and such leads me to think that the key to success has to start somewhere. Unless a person is born a kid of a superstar, most people have to start from scratch and build up. The Duro could be symbolic of starting from small, poor livings and building into having a good income. Also, the little things in life are also the some of the best moments. Such things as animals in a hospital getting better or getting a meal when your starving are some of the best gifts you see in life. Who knows where one Duro could go or do.
