I think it has really good imagery because you can see a person saying that life doesn't frighten me even though that their are stumps in life I am ready. I also think that it has rhyme scheme like “ wall hall or goose loose, or boo shoo, fun run, cry fly ,smile and wild.”
ReplyDeleteThe second poem “ Some One,” is about Someone who came knocking on the door and the person who opened the door said” there's nobody here,” and there was nobody at the door.

The First poem, “Some One”, is about someone who hears a knock at the door and goes to see who is there. When he gets to the door, he looks up and down, left and right, but no one is there. All he sees are a beetle, an owl, and a cricket. There is Rhyme Scheme, Onomatopoeia, Rythm, Alliteration, and Stanzas. The Rhyme Scheme is ABCB. The Onomatopoeias are “tap” and “screech”. When you try to sing the poem, you start tapping your feet to a rythm. The Alliteration is busy beetle. If you look at the poem, there are stanzas.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me”, is about a woman telling someone how life doesn’t frighten her through talking about “scary” things. This poem has Rhyme Scheme, Alliteration, Imagery, Repitition, and Rythm. THe Rhyme Scheme is AAABBACC. The Alliteration is Panthers in the park. If you close your eyes after you reada stanza, you can imagine that in your mind. The poem always repeats, “ Life Doesn’t frighten me at all”. If you try singing the poem, it will turn into a song.
I choose “Life Doesn’t Frighten Me” because I think it shows more perserverance. It also has more creative writer’s craft. I can truly see this happening in my mind, and Ilove the way the poet wrote this. I think this poem is a lot like “Mother to Son”, and “Moher to Son” is my favorite poem we’ve read so far.

-Knox ⺍⺀
1.”Some One” is about a person who hears knocking on his door but doesn’t know who it was.Some writers craft was repetition and visualisation I noticed repetition wen they said Ät all at all at all” or sure --sure--sure--sure¨ an example of visualisation was when they said ¨dew drops fall¨or ¨The night was stirring¨.
ReplyDelete2.¨Life doesn't frighten me¨ is about a person who has a ¨charm¨ that apparently makes it to where he has no fear.Some writers craft is alliteration and visualization some alitterratine was wall hall all, goose loose, fun run, and shoo boo some visualization was when they said ¨shadows on the wall¨ or ¨noises down the hall¨.
3.I vote for ¨Some One¨ because it is more visualizing and I can imagine every little detail on it like the frog croaking to the light in there door or the small crickets chirping in the night also because it raises questions leaving us wanting an answer like who knocked on the door or what is in his house.
Love charlie
The first poem, “ Some One” is a silly poem about a person who hears someone knocking at the door,but when they answer no one is there. They then talk about the empty sound of nothing but owls, bettles, and crickets. Then they end the poem with alliteration. The poet used a great form of word flow.

ReplyDeleteSomeone is about a guy who hears something and thinks that someone is at the door but really it is just some animals.
My favorite is Someone.I like it because of the A B C A rhyme scheme.I also like the way it ends with it turning out that it is only sounds that he hears.I also like that he describes what sound the animals were making.
