20. William Stafford’s poem, “Freedom,” contains many differences from our views on freedom. Unlike Stafford, our group did not discuss luck. He says that freedom, “is knowing that luck makes a difference,” but for some reason we failed to note this important truth. Stafford, furthermore, believes that “No leader is free; no follower is free”; however, in our group most of us said that we were free, and only some people, such as children or prisoners were not. According to Stafford, however, almost no one is free. Finally, although Stafford suggests that we “wake up about four in the morning” in order to be free, our thinking is that this does not guarantee freedom to us, but we do like this time of day and the way it feels. Perhaps, he means it as metaphor and to remind us that social pressure does not allow for ideal freedom.
