Written commentary intro on: 'Reflection on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle Recieved from a Friend called Felicity'

After reading ‘Reflection on a Gift of Watermelon Pickle Received from a Friend called Felicity’, I realised that these past memories can stay with us forever. John Tobias’ main idea in his poem can be seen in his title which provides the reader with detailed information of his childhood memory.
