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.
