As a result, the reader gets a vivid description that allows them to sympathize with the father’s sacrifices. For example, in line three and four “then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made” (Hayden 3-4) the reader gets a sense of knowledge that the father is a hardworking man that is constantly exposed to a cold climate, because of the description of the father’s painful cracked hands due to harsh weather. In line one and two of the poem “Sunday’s too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold” (Hayden 1-2). Because of these lines it can be assumed that Sundays are the father’s days off, on which he would be able to rest. However it is obvious by the way the cold is described “blueblack” that is very early when he awakes None the less, he is still willing to face the bitter coldness to spare his family. This is proven in line seven “When the rooms were warm, he’d call,” (Hayden 7). By this point is evident the father is willing to sacrifice his own comfort so his family does
