One of the discussions we had during class was how different pieces of literature relate to the movie The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola. This helped us get a better understanding of Godfather and also notice how diverse pieces of literature could resemblance to each other although, they have different themes. Therefore, we studied a poem called Those Winters Sundays by Robert Hayden. In this particular poem, the poet recounts that in a Sunday mornings, his old father gets up in cold and builds fire for his son, so that he could get up in worm house .However, he does not appreciate his father’s love .The poem portrays distant relationship of a father and a son. Clearly, anyone who watched first scene of The Godfather would also detect the weak relationship of Michael Corleone and his father Don Vito Corleone (The head of Chorleone’s family) . Michel separated himself from his family when he was talking to his girlfriend, kay by saying “That's my family Kay, that's not me”. But in contrary, Vitto Corleone does not take a family picture in Conny’s wedding until Michael arrives, which shows how much he cares for Michael.
