1.) I think the poem is sad because it refers to death. I do believe that the poem does give a sense of strength because he was telling his father to hold on. To be strong and dont not leave the earth and die into the night.


2.) The image that I have chosen shows a light reflecting down as a symbol of God. When I see that light I think of it as a way of the angels coming to bring you to heaven. The light is a sort of feeling that someone is finally at peace and in a better place.

1.)This poem is short but it signals the way the maybe the author was when she was in school. She didnt seem like she cared to much just to hang out with her friends and have a good time.


2.) This image was actually created in reference to the poem. It shows a person that might have left school and they are listening to music while drinking a bottle of gin. They are also singing to the words to the music they are listening to and obviously not caring about going to school.

1.) What I get from this poem is that it would be a sign of death, maybe not for the author but for maybe someone that she knows. It gives you a imagines in your head that could remind you of previous deaths and its something that you woulnt want to keep replaying.


2.) The image I choose gives you a gloomy and depressed feeling just like a funeral would be. It has the colors in the drawing are black and gray which usually means morning or death.
