Self Presentation

Personification in Lodge by Robert Frost

1. Can the rain really talk to the wind?The rain can not talk to the wind.

Can the wind really listen to the rain?
The wind does not listen to the rain.

Can the floweres really kneel?
The flowers can not kneel but they can bend.

2. Some of the effects that the tool of personafication brings to this poem are it describes what the rain and the wind are doing to the flowers. In the end of the poem it says "I know how the flowers felt" meaning the person that said that line is or was going through a similar experience.

3. If the rain and wind and flowers were real people I would describe the event that is occuring as a tornado because when a tornado occurs it is really windy and it pushes people down and it invades the air we breathe.

4. If the flowers were real people I think they feel exhausted, tired and destroyed after the wind and the rain "smote" the garden bed.

5. I believe the speaker of the poem empathizes with the flowers because he is probably going through a rough and difficult period of time like the flowers are going through.

Alliteration in Lyrics

BETTER BE A BETTER BOY By: MICK TERRY

BETTER BE A BETTER BOY before you bother
betting that you'll bring her back home again.
Try to treat her like you treat a tender lady.
Tell her truthfully that you'll make amends.
She'll be upset for a while.
But you can win with the smile
