"The Red Wheelbarrow" by William Carlos Williams

The literal setting of the poem is simply discussing the purpose of a wheel barrow. The color red is used to captivate the mind of the reader with a bold blunt color. On the other hand, the poet could’ve used the color red to exemplify the thought of something being "common." The general setting can possible be on a farm in a suburban community in reference to the term "white chickens."
The purpose that the red wheelbarrow services is to carry and hold things. The wheelbarrow is always described as being newly polished. The way the poet said, "so much depends upon," gives way to the interpretation of things being dependent on the wheelbarrow. The figurative language brings out the idea of the poem painting an image representing artwork. The concept is to basically acknowledge the beauty of everyday life and everyday materials (objects). From the reading of the poem, I believe the poet was trying to convey the idea of something simple or a person being admired for it's everyday beauty. However, beauty is classified depending on the subject as being a piece of artwork.
