"Suburban" Thesis

Offering a humorous anecdote in "Suburban", John Ciardi skillfully employs religious allusion, formulated ambiguity and situational irony in order to elucidate the overarching theme of sacrifice and reward.

  1. Strong thesis indeed, lass. I enjoy the adjective/device pairings- you've always been strong with those. The only critique I have of this thesis would be to say a little more about the universal idea, maybe? Job well done.
