Having bacjground information helps to provide a better undestanding when reading the poem, since you can graters appreciate the cramped quarters, freezing temperatures, and exposure to the sky around you. Also, having the background information makes it easy to understand the last line and how one could be washed out with a hose, since it is sphere shaped. Also having background information on Jarrell provides the reader with slightly more information about his life, and why he wrote this poem. If I had had this information to begin with, I would have had mroe to write about and deeper analysis to provide.
