Sympathy by Paul L.D
Today we are going to learn about Sympathy the poem!
Let's start.
The connection I made to the poem was I was being kind to my classmates. The poem was organized by having 3 stanzas with a total of 21 paragraphs. The tone of the poem in the first stanza was ABAABCC. The second stanza was ABAABAA and the last one was ABAABCC. I found some poetic devices in the poem and I'll show you why it has those devices.
Personification: Where it says "I know why a caged bird sings" A bird can't sing that's true, "Cruel bars" bars can't be cruel they don't have feelings and "wind stirs soft" a wind can't stir softly.
Simile: There it says " And the river flows like a glass" it has the like that compared two things.
Alliteration: Where it says "through the" it is Alliteration.
The meaning of the poem was how it feels being trapped and also the poet wants us to think about how it would be like as a life of a caged bird.

Ernest G moll: Returned Soldier
Today we are going to learn about "Returned Soldier" by Ernest G Moll.
The connection I made to the title were he might have gone back to his home or place from a war. The poem was organized by having two stanzas. The tone of the poem was sad but he got out by going in a positive way. The poetic devices I found the poem were: Alliteration: In the poem where it says "all and"it has double a's in the first letter the same as this one: "then the". Hyperbole: Where it says " How wheat turns to gold and copper in old November. Wheat can't turn copper and gold. Simile: it told that "And five years later, one November day, I walked with barry down the stooks of hay Light yellow in the sun, and on them fluttered Rosella's red as apples. Where it said "Rosella's red as apples" it had "as" which is a simile. The author of the poem wanted me to think about the poem on how he escaped by thinking a positive way without having to hesitate. I hope this poem helped. Bye, see you in the next post!

The road not taken
Today we are going to learn about the road not taken.
Before we start I'll just put the picture in.
The connections I made to the title is: No one ever goes to the road. It's like invisible.
How was the poem organized? Stanzas, lines other? It has stanzas with four paragraphs.
What is the tone of the poem? It makes me sad for people not to go to it.
