Alice Walker-Poem

I think the main idea of this poem is to make you feel sad.I think she doesn't get along with her partner.I think she thinks only by dying they will be in peace and without war.I connect with this poem because sometimes I fight with someone and I think I'll never stop fighting.

" Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening "

The mood that this poem represents is of sadness,tiredness and desperation. Frost uses A-B-B poetic devices and rhyme. He repeats the same lines of the poem at the end because he is showing that he has done his job and know he could die happy.He shows his feelings by saying his horse is tired and the night is very dark. I can connect with this sometimes.I get tired for studying hours for the test and there is still more tests to come or sometimes I feel lonely.

Do not go gentle into that good night-poet picture

Do not go gentle into that good night

The meaning in this poem is to don't give up on yourself and specially your life.The mood that creates is a brave and kind of scared voice because the poet doesn't want the old man to be dead.He is kind of furious because he doesn't want the old men to give up on his life.He is repeating ,"do not go gentle into that good night" because that is the meaning of the poem,that is what he wants to tell his father.Another poetic device is that he uses simile.For example,blind eyes cold blaze like meteors and be gay.The poet means that the eyes are thinking.This is a great poem.
