Why, if there is any reason, whould he think his mother is a fish? What else do you notice about his sections? What kind of vocabulary or phrasings does he use?

Where did you get this information? If might be helpful for you to include the lines that you're paraphrasing so we can refer to those passages as well and see if we agree about what they mean. Jewel and Darl, for example, do not offer Cash help, and Addie never overtly chooses Cash to build the coffin. This summary seems inaccurate. Where did you get this information?

Because I could not stop for Death
Emily Dickinson expresses her reflection on death. The poem focuses on the concept of life after death. She writes about death in different way that most people are thinking about death. She sees it as a death appears kind and compassionate. In this poem the death becomes acceptable and welcomed.

One Act
I think that Elizabeth Bishop is saying that “loss” is something that can be mastered but when you lose someone or something you really love you have to dealt with it. At the end of the poem when she writes about loosing that person that she loves, she feels pain and misses that person but doesn’t allow herself to admit it.

The Lamb
This poem is about little lamb who was made in God’s image. The lamb is good and innocent.

The Tyger
The poem makes contrasting between good and evil. The lamb is good and the tiger is evil, it like he came straight from hell. Since everything in him symbolizes evil things, on the other hand the lamb symbolizes as innocents. The way that they are described is an amazing way to show the contrast and difference in God’s creatures.

The red Wheelbarrow
The speaker tries to say to us how little thing are important. How everything in our life has a value.

We Real Cool
The author of this poem is trying to give a massage to all the teenagers who live their life wrong. She tries to illustrate how their mean less life in their teenage years can lead to bad future. She wants them to rethink about their future now before it is going to be to late.

He describes it as an historian that can tell a story, and in each stanza, he writes a different side of that story. He writes about beauty, love, and human’s lives.

The red wheelbarrow- this poem is really short and confusing. i think this poem is trying to say that everything/one need rain water except for white chickens. harlem- this poem is saying dreams that arent being accomplished are dry and will never come true. It's trying to say that someone who don't dream of doing something won't come true. we are cool- i think this poem is describing teenagers delinquents. the we sing sin and we die soon gives a bad impression to the teenagers.
