okay so heres a poem i have to read and analyze its called is pathetic fallacy true by elizabeth brewster.
i need a good reason as to why someone would be intrigued to read this poem.Describe what you feel is one of the main themes in the poem. Examine three of the key features of this poem (refer to three of the literary terms from the Figurative Language topic). Identify the features and provide an explanation as you why you think the poet used these particular features. Include specific information from the poem to support what you have to say. Finally, finish your response with two critical questions that demonstrate your in-depth analysis of the poem. Be sure to refer to specific lines of the poem when you are posing your questions. Remember that critical questions should not be vague nor can they be answered with a yes-or-no answer and all of the above
I remember tutoring in English. It had its good points and bad points
um...
Okay...where's the poem?
here it is: When I was a child the stones were living. Hot under my hand, they felt like flesh, and sands slipped through my fingers with a caress. Yes, everything was alive; the clumsy, roaring wind stepped on the flounced pink dress of the apple-tree, tearing it to shreds the puffed cheeks of clouds the brook with its pebbled tongue and the hoarse old grave old sea its gravelly song and earth itself a brown warm girl turning and tanning in the sun. All false, all wrong, somebody told me: Winds are not lovers, clumsy or gentle. There's no blood in stones, no tears in water. Nevertheless sometimes lately when I touch a chair or table I think I feel atoms stir under my fingers and at night in dreams I hear the small remote voices of grains of dust or the inaudible whispers of stars as they will speak to me some time when I lie with the living grass above me and the wind my old lover singing me to sleep and to wake NOTES: pathetic fallacy: the act of attributing human emotions or characteristics to inanimate objects or to nature
