Fight

In "Fight," Laurel Blossom uses a hostile tone and imagery to show the difference between the speaker and their partner and why they are not a good match. The speaker begins by listing things that make them different from each other. The author uses imagery to show the difference between them with quotes like, "And a red flannel shirt. That's not what I do. I put the top down as soon as we arrive." The first stanza compares the two people in the relationship saying, "You dig in the garden. I swim in the pool," and "I like to wear cotton. You like to wear wool." The speaker is trying to compare the way the two of them live their lives differently. When she says, "You want to get married. I want to be free," it is shown to the reader what the real problem between them is. Through imagery, Blossom gives the differences of the couple and shows how they're not good for each other.
