3. Based on the criteria, which poem did you choose and WHY?
***Please tell me everything you think, but use your best writing.
Here is an example of proficient writing:
"The Eagle" is a poem about an eagle flying over the sea and close to the sun. Then, he is watching the mountain and swoops down like a lightning bolt to catch his prey.
The second poem, "Casey at Bat," is about a boy whose baseball team is losing, but there are two people on base. Casey gets two strikes, and the crowd is very upset. Finally, Casey strikes out, and the crowd is outraged.
For the winner, I chose "The Eagle". I chose it because it had a deeper meaning and understanding for me. I also liked the rhyme scheme of AAABBB. Also, the author used a simile comparing the eagle to a thunderbolt, "He watches from his mountain walls, And like a thunderbolt he falls." This poem is the winner.
The first poem I read was called, “Who Has Seen the Wind?” It is about a person who is asking if anybody has ever seen the wind. It says, “But when the leaves hang trembling, the wind is passing through.”
ReplyDeleteThe second poem is called “If~”. It is about a man talking to his son about life.
In my opinion, “Who Has Seen the Wind” is the winner. The author uses repetition because he says, “Who has seen the wind,” multiple times.
The first poem,”Who Has Seen The Wind?,” about someone telling someone else about the wind being invisible and how it acts like a king to the trees.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem,”If-,” is about a dad talking to his son about when life is against you or fills you with treasure only to lose it again, keep pushing. It is also about keeping your word and trying to execute your dreams.
I think “If-” is the winner because of the great message that anyone can use in their everyday lives, and also because of the repetition, which makes this poem have a good rhythm and sound like a song.
The first poem I read was “Who has seen the wind?” I think it is about how fall takes the leaves away from the trees and they know that it is time for fall. The people are wondering where the wind is and then fall comes.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “If” I think it is about a father talking to his son and telling him don’t let money, fame, bullying, or distruction get in the way of your life. If you can walk by a king and not get greetie than you can walk by a slave without being pushy. Don’t get into trouble when you know it’s wrong.
I think the poem “If” is the winner because it has a lot of feeling and a good teaching life skill because it tells how to be a good friend or person. It has a lot of feeling because it says not to be selfish, lazy, and dishonest. It also has good rhyme scheme. For example, the rhyme scheme is AAAABCB. I picked “If” because he was truthful and a good life skill.
The first poem I read, “If,” is about dreams and they do come true.And that you need to hold on tight for life.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read, “Who has seen the Wind,” is about the wind and it hasn't shown up in a while.
I think the winner is”Who has seen the Wind.” The reason I chose that poem is because I think it has a better meaning. The poet used a rhyme scheme of ABCA. Personification is one also because the tree is talking and trees don’t talk.
The first poem I read was “Who Has Seen the Wind?” I think it is about a person telling that no one has seen the wind, but by looking up at the trees or the leaves, you can tell that it’s there.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “If.” I think it is about a father telling his son what it takes to be a man. He said if his son could do all of the things, he would be a man.
I chose “Who Has Seen the Wind?” for the winner. I liked “If” but I liked the repetition in “Who Has Seen the Wind?” At the very beginning there is a repetition. It is: “Who Has Seen the Wind? Who has seen the wind?” in it. Also, a metaphor could be, “But when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.” And, trees can’t really bow down their heads, so it is using Personification. That is giving human characteristics, to non-human things. That is why I like "Who Has Seen the Wind?" the best.
The first poem , ‘Who Has Seen The Wind’, is about wind. I like it .
ReplyDeleteThe second poem ‘IF’ is really good. It is about a parent talking to his son. It gives a lot of examples about how if you can do something, and not do something else
I like, ‘IF’, better. It sends a good message. It uses A LOT of repetition when it repeats ‘if’.The rhyme scheme is ABABCC. It is meaningful to me.
The first poem, “Who has Seen the Wind,” is about someone saying that nobody has seen the wind and if you see leaves blowing by it is the wind.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem, “If~,” is about a man describing his son.
I choose “Who has Seen the Wind,”. I choose it because I like how the author uses repetition by saying “Neither I or you.
“Who Has Seen the Wind” is about how we never have seen the wind, but when you see leaves trembling you know the wind is there. When the trees branches are shaking the wind is passing by. I like this poem!
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read, “If,” was about a dad telling his son about life, and how he should handle it. The dad is talking about “Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies.” That is my favorite line in the whole poem. I think it means if someone lies to you, don’t lie back to them. I really liked “If!”
I think the winner of this game is “If” because it uses a lot of writers craft. For example, it used rhyme scheme and repetition. For the first stanza, the rhyme scheme is, AAAABCBC. It uses repetition for the first stanza is “If” I liked how it was told in second person because he was telling his son what to do in life. I really liked this poem it is a really deep and meaningful message! “If” should win!!!!
“ If “ is about the Dad telling his son all these if’s and what to do.
ReplyDelete“ Who Has Seen the Wind” is about someone asking who has seen the wind. Then telling no one has seen the wind.
The winner should be “ Who Has Seen the Wind “ because it seems a lot calmer than “If ”. Why I think it is a lot calmer than “ If ” is because “ If “ has all these if’s to keep track of and “ Who Has Seen the Wind “ does not. In “ Who Has Seen the Wind “ has Alliteration. Also it has Personification because it says “ But when the leaves seem trembling”.
The first poem I read is “Who has seen the Wind.” Is about someone talking about the wind and how it is invisible.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read is”If.” It had repetition by always starting with the word “If”. It is about what if you do something. It also had a nice story about what would happen if you did something different.
I choose as the winner “Who has seen the Wind”. I choose it because it has repetition.It has repetition by saying “ Neither I nor you”: in the first paragraph and second. It also says “Who has seen the wind twice.It also shows you wind is not visible in a nice way. It also reminds me about when I was little and I learned about wind.
ReplyDeleteThe first poem I read, “Who Has Seen the Wind,” is about a girl who sees leaves trembling and the trees bend she knows that the wind is going by, even if she can’t see it.
The second poem I read, “If~,” is about a father saying that if you can keep your head up high and if you can have all of the fruits of the spirit you will be a man. He is saying this to his son.
I think the winner is “Who Has Seen the Wind.” I think this because I like how how the author used repetition when she said “Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you:” in the beginning of the first and second stanza. The author also used personification. For example, “But when the leaves hang trembling,” and “But when the trees bow down their heads.” I also like how she changed through to by in the last line of each stanza. The rhyme scheme for the first four lines is ABCB. As you can see,“Who Has Seen the Wind” is definitely the winner!
The first poem I read was “Who Has Seen the Wind.” It is about someone who get mixed up. Because there is no wind and the leaves are are trembling. But when the winds blows the trees are bending. I saw personification it said the trees bow down there heads. The rhyme scheme is ABCB. I saw it had repetition It said Neither you nor I twice.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “If_.” It is about feelings and how to deal with them. This poem has a powerful meaning. The rhyme scheme is ABAB. I saw repetition it said if 11 times.
I liked “If_.” It told me something I thought was not true I tied to be like this poem,but I sometimes could not. If is a power word my Mom says if you can just like this poem. If can mean maybe,no,and yes. If can go a long way. The rhyme scheme is ABAB.
I vote for "If_."
“Who Has Seen The Wind” was the first poem I read. It is about how neither I nor you can see the wind, but we know it is there because the leaves hang trembling when it passes through. It’s rhyme scheme was ABCB. It also used repetition when it says, “who has seen the wind?”
ReplyDelete“If” was the second poem I read. It is about how the word if is very powerful. When I say if it usually means, if I could do something then this would happen.
I chose the winner to be “If.” This is because I like how it is about the power of the word if. Some writers craft that was in it was, repetition, and rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme is AAAABCBC. The repetition was when it said if, or , and and. This is why my favorite poem was “If.”
“Who Has Seen the Wind?,” is a poem told by a person's perspective. In this poem someone asks “Who has seen the wind?” The author states that the only way to see the wind is to watch the trees.
ReplyDeleteThe poem,”If_”, is about a father telling his son that if you can do something then you can conquer anything. But it is mostly about if you believe you can achieve.
I’m voting for,”If_”. I’m voting for,”If_” because I think that it has more meaning and I love how its a father talking to his son. I also noticed that the poem has repetition because If is repeated many times.
“Who Has seen The Wind” is about how you can not see wind, but nature shows you when there is wind by the trees moving and the leaves falling. I think everybody can tell when there is wind if they pay attention to nature. I noticed that it was first person.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was “If.” It is about a dad telling his kid that if he follows these rules he will be a great man. I feel like this is also a lesson to tell readers to be the best man they can by doing the right thing. I noticed that it was first person.
I pick “Who Has Seen The Wind” as the winner because it used personification. For example, one sentence was, “But when trees bow down their heads”. Another reason why is because it used alliteration. For example, one sentence was, “Neither you nor I”. My third reason why is because it used repetition. For example, every four lines it used who at the beginning of the sentence. I hope that “Who Has Seen The Wind” wins!!!!!!
“If-” is about a dad telling his kid how to live his life. Some of the things the the dad says is to forgive, keep your head up, and to not lie. In each stanza it is like the dad is trying to teach the kid a new message. I think that each stanza stands for one day, and each day the dad is teaching a new lesson. I think the dad wants the son to be a good person. That is what “If-” is about.
ReplyDelete“Who Has Seen the Wind” is about how you can never see wind, but you can always feel its presence. I like how the author uses personification when she says, ‘‘But when the trees bow down their heads.’’ I think it is cool how the author uses an ABCB rhyme scheme. I also like how the author uses repetition at the start of each stanza. A connection I have is that sometimes when I am playing sports I don’t see the wind, but I feel the wind’s presence. That is what this poem is about.
I pick “If-” as the winner. It reminds me of how my parents try to teach my siblings and life lessons. I love the writer's craft that the author used. Some examples of the writer’s craft are the rhyme scheme which is ABAB. The author uses repetition by repeating the words and, if , and or. The author is trying to teach everyone how to live out your life. This poem means a lot to me. One connection I have is how my parents try to help me learn from all my mistakes. I think this poem is clearly the winner of this matchup.
The first poem,”If,” is about how you should live life and if someone else does something bad to you or to others you should always do the right thing. How you should not have self pity but move on and keep working. If you can keep your cool while others are losing theirs you will become a real man. I think this poem was written to teach how to become a successful person.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem,”Who Has Seen the Wind,” is about someone who is saying “Who has seen the wind. Neither I nor you.” We know wind is invisible but when he says “But when the leaves hang trembling.” That means when the leaves are trembling in the air the wind air. I like how she used personification when she said, “But when the trees bow their head.” And when she said, “But when the leaves hang trembling.” And I like the rhyme scheme ABCB. Also, the repetition of the words, “Who has seen the wind.” And I also like how they tweak the words a tad on. Neither I nor you and The wind is passing through.
I pick… “If,” I really like the message because it is very meaningful. The rhyme scheme ABAB is one of my favorites. The repetition of the words, “If you can.” Speaks to me because you should try hard to do the right thing all the time. I think this boy is going to grow up to be a successful man. There is not much alliteration but I do not think it needs any because it is so meaningful. I really love, “If,” so that is why I chose it.
“Who Has Seen The Wind?” is the first poem I read. It is saying that no one can see the wind, but you can still feel it and see the trees dancing to the wind.
ReplyDeleteThe second poem was “If-” it is about a father telling his son that the world may not believe in him, but that doesn’t mean to give.
I like “who has seen the wind” because” it is repetitive with”Who has seen the wind” and uses personification with“But when the trees bow down their heads” and finally it reminds me that even if you can’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t believe it

ReplyDeleteIn the second poem “If” is about how you need to not only trust others but not to lie to others ,and if you lie it can go a lot farther than you think like losing friend or getting in trouble.
I think that “If” should be the winner because it can teach you a good lesson, and it would take a deep thought to put it into words. I think "It"
is the winner.

ReplyDeleteThe poem “If~” is about a father telling his son about how you can’t get too caught up in life that you forget what it’s about, and how it won’t always be easy. Then that’s all you need to know to become a man. I LOVE that poem because i think you do need to let some things roll off your shoulder.
I think the winner is “If~” because it touched me and I think that I need to think about that sometimes. You don’t have to focus on one particular thing in life and I need to think about that. ( that is my favorite poem.)
The first poem I read was, “Who Has Seen the Wind,” by Christina Rossetti.
ReplyDeleteI think that it’s about how you can’t see wind. You can’t see the wind but you can feel it. You can see the way the wind effect the trees.
The second poem I read was, If,” by Rudyard Kipling. It was about a parent telling their son about life. They are telling him that if you can do all of the thing, keep strong, and be the person you are supposed to be then you will have a great life.

The first poem I read was called,” Who Has Seen the Wind?” This poem is about person who wonders about the wind and how people can not see it. This person sees the trees heads bow down because of the wind, and the person sees that the leaves on the tree hang there trembling after the wind. A repetition I saw was the words who, neither, but, and the were repeated in order twice. The rhyme scheme for this poem is ABCD
ReplyDeleteThe second poem I read was called,” If~”. This poem is about someone talking to their son and telling them to keep their heads up no matter what happens. The person telling their son this is saying if someone is being lied about, don’t deal with the situations in lies. Also if you are being hated on, don’t hate others. This poem can tell many lessons in life about being a good, trustful, and loyal person. If you act poorly about losing or something you don’t like you might get into mess, but if you don’t you will end up a lot better. The ryhme scheme for this poem is AAAABCBC. For the rest of the poem the rhyme scheme is ABABCDCD. The repet.ition for this poem is that the poem continsously says “if”.
