The poem "Cloud" by Sandra Cisneros uses a lot of metaphors to get the point across. The poem discusses the subject's journey from a destructive wave to a cloud. The man started out as an ocean, "roiled and murmuring like a mouth" meaning he started out as a harsh, destructive individual who was very strong willed and unreceptive as a person. And then he became a "tree" who did everything that the others trees did. This means that he was sort of part of a gang or a bad group of people and in turn he began to do all of the things that the gang members did and told him to do. The author uses many metaphors to show that he was pretty insignifigant but had the potential to be something good. For example "a skiem of blue wool" is nothing really on it's own but it could turn into something important with the proper use. "A tea saucer wrapped in newspaper" shows that the subject was really fragile on the inside but put off a rough look and was tough on the outside but sort of had a heart of gold.As one reads on tehy realize that the subject got put in prison for his actions and began to realize who he wanted to be. He began to imagine his life differently as a cloud. And his imagination began to take control of him and all "those condemned to death and those condemned to life watched how smooth and sweet a white cloud glides." This last sentence is powerful because it shows that he figured out who he really is and what he wanted his life to be. Although he is already in prison he was able to become a stong individual and those around him all saw the real person hiding underneath that tough shell.
