Guide to composing

Question 1:
The poem consists of 3 sections, each with two verses beginning with the author's lullaby and ending with the mother's lullaby. The repetition, breaks, and rhythmic patterns create a soothing melody reminiscent of a swinging cradle. However, while each verse repeats, there is also development. That tone uniquely expresses the mother's earnest and affectionate feelings for her child, wishing for their growth, strength, and success as free citizens of an independent and unified country.

Question 2:
Analyze the portrayal of the Tà Ôi mother in the poem:
The Tà Ôi mother lulls her child to sleep, yet simultaneously engages in the tasks of resistance, of revolution. She lulls her child while winnowing rice for the soldiers. She lulls her child while husking corn. She lulls her child while shifting camps, trekking through the forests, directly confronting the American enemy. The mother's love for her child is always intertwined with her love for the soldiers, the villagers, and the country. It is precisely this that defines the greatness of the Tà Ôi mother.

Question 3:
Suggested analysis of the verse:

'The sun of corn lies on the hill
The sun of mother and child lies on the back'

These two lines employ both simile and metaphor, likening the sun of corn to the universal sun that brings light and life to all beings. Meanwhile, the 'sun of mother' refers to the child. The child is the sun of the mother's life. The child brings light, spiritual nourishment to the mother; the child is a small, beloved sun right on the mother's back. The child is indispensable to the mother's life, tightly embraced! The imagery depicts the deep, profound affection of the mother for her child.

Question 4:
Through the lullaby, we perceive the mother's affection for her child as profoundly boundless love. The mother loves her child, yearning for their growth into maturity, hoping for them to live in peace. The tender love for the child transforms into a lullaby with sweet dreams.
- While winnowing rice, the mother dreams of her child growing up 'Swinging the pestle on the courtyard' husking the gleaming white grains of rice.
- While winnowing rice, the mother dreams of her child growing up 'Swinging the pestle on the courtyard' husking the gleaming white grains of rice.
- Carrying her child into battle, the mother dreams of seeing Uncle Ho, signifying the dream of a unified nation, North and South harmonized, and 'In the future, when you grow up, you'll be a free individual.' The mother's emotions and aspirations grow wider, shifting from personal to collective, from homeland to nation.

Question 5:
The mother's love for her child is intertwined with love for the soldiers, love for the suffering villages, love for the country. Personal and collective emotions merge into one. The mother's wishes are also wishes for her child, for the village, for the country. She hopes her child will grow up to winnow rice for the soldiers, cultivate fields for the villages, and wield guns in battle, with the whole family and nation joining the fight. For the independence and freedom of the nation. The mother is a mother-soldier, a soldier, a heroic Vietnamese mother.
