ANALYSIS AND SUMMARY

 Not all poems sing

by: Merlie Alunan

Analysis

•This poem is a very interesting to all of us, it because our life is full of darkness and light. We are seeking light through our hopes and dreams, maybe our happiness, our goal and achievements in life. We faced darkness, because we are living this sinful world. We faced trials and problems but later on it became our hopes and to start to begin our life again. Our life is a like a Gold, it is precious and it is very essential in the eyes of God. Sometimes our life became a stone or a rock, it because of anger, bad sights and loosing hope. We are human being and we have to remember that our life is like a poem.

Side Questions:

1.) For me, be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest. Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.

2.) I found the symbol of our life in this world. As a human being, we are great and privileged to do something for our satisfaction and our goal in life. We forgot to thank God for everyday in our life, because he is the only source of everything .

The Snowman

Summery

•The Story tells us about the importance of being a human being. Emotions, negativity, personal growth are like snowman. Snowman plays in different places, between and through tree canopies wrapped in white umbrellas spread out. He was now working on his eyes, two round stones and he found close and stopped to think about his outcome. To observe the passing of the American summer and the falling of the leaves is a wonderful experience. Someone said to go back in the middle of spring to see the resurrection of life from the freezing season. Months earlier, he had been moving places and time zones. He quickly glanced at his unfamiliar surroundings and pretended to know everything. He can join a marathon walk from hit to thirty minute exploration of the city.
