Tract and Red Wheelbarrow

William Carlos Williams was a physician first and was a poet second but many have wonder how is writing would have been he was poet first. The poem "Tract" Williams is teaching the townspeople how to perform a funeral. He doesn't want the use of anything materialistc or superficial. In the poem he says there no need for a hearse, curtains, and glass because what are they trying to hide? The man or woman that is dead can't notice us on their way to their grave. In "The Red Wheelbarrow" Williams wants the read to come up with its own idea about the poem. "So much depends upon a red wheel barrow," To me Williams was talking about a work and everyday he works with this wheelbarrow because everything that does depends on this red barrow.
