These words all have only terrible endings and they put together has a word popping into my head which is evil. A person with these traits can only mean trouble. Wed, 15 May 2019 10:46:22 -0700 The words the speaker uses are very harsh and they all have the same meaning. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136604?scroll_to=1356724 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136604?scroll_to=1356724 These words are all full of hate and they all have a very bad ending to them. These words tell a story. A horrible story. Especially the word murd'rous which is a murder. Wed, 15 May 2019 10:42:09 -0700 The speaker in this poem is describing how strong her relationship with her husband is. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136602?scroll_to=1341483 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136602?scroll_to=1341483 The speaker does this by comparing their love to gold and a river. Mon, 29 Apr 2019 09:01:18 -0700 The speaker is comparing her and her husbands love to gold. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136602?scroll_to=1341481 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136602?scroll_to=1341481 The speaker does this to explain that their love is worth more than gold. She can also be saying that their love is stronger than gold. She says that to her she feels like their love is worth more/more important than gold. Mon, 29 Apr 2019 08:58:01 -0700 They as a loving couple don't count themselves as 2 anymore but they count themselves as a team of 1. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136602?scroll_to=1341480 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136602?scroll_to=1341480 This is the start of the poem which makes me think that the speaker is going to describe her love life or her strong relationship.This statement also reminds me of a quote i heard of. It said that we have two of everything in our human forms but we don't have two hearts because we have to find our missing piece. Mon, 29 Apr 2019 08:54:24 -0700 The speaker found herself realizing or recognizing her feelings for this person she describes. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136395?scroll_to=1341474 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136395?scroll_to=1341474 Throughout the whole poem the speaker describes this man they is calling. The speaker is thinking about what the man's reaction would be while waiting for him to pick up. Then when he does pick up the speaker realizes how she really had this instinct to tell him how he/she feels about him. Mon, 29 Apr 2019 08:50:30 -0700 This paragraph is a dramatic turn. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136395?scroll_to=1341457 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136395?scroll_to=1341457 The speaker makes this dramatic by starting it with a incomplete sentence. The first line makes the reader even more interested in what the poem could mean or what the poem is talking about. At the end it leaves the reader in a cliffhanger by not finishing the sentence and just ending it with a ... which is a continuation. Tue, 02 Apr 2024 01:57:12 -0700 Who is the speaker talking about? https://nowcomment.com/documents/105214?scroll_to=1326215 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105214?scroll_to=1326215 Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:37:37 -0800 Why does the speaker want to be a bad woman? https://nowcomment.com/documents/105214?scroll_to=1326213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105214?scroll_to=1326213 The speaker probably looks up to Johnnie Mae and the speaker probably wants to be brave or be strong. Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:37:37 -0800 Is this what the back has? https://nowcomment.com/documents/105214?scroll_to=1326211 https://nowcomment.com/documents/105214?scroll_to=1326211 Why would the speaker want to go to the back? Why does the speaker want to be where it's rough and untended? Fri, 12 Feb 2021 08:37:37 -0800 This makes me wonder. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136395?scroll_to=1318855 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136395?scroll_to=1318855 This paragraph also makes me wonder who this person is and what the relationship they have with the speaker. The reader doesn't know nothing about this anonymous "him". Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:59:43 -0700 The title made me think a few things about this poem like what the poem was gonna be about. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318830 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318830 One of my thoughts when I saw the name was that this was going to of course be about a mother. I was confused on what the mood was going to be because it could've been a child talking about their mother.It could've also been about a mother talking about her children or life. It could've been a happy poem. Wed, 31 Jan 2024 03:10:21 -0800 The speaker feels like her emotions are taking over. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318827 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318827 She feels like since she can't forget her abortion and she is now trying to control the guilt she feels. She says this by saying controlling your luscious sigh which I feel like is saying how she feels sad and her emotions are taking over. For example, the speaker feels like the guilt within her would not leave her alone. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:43:34 -0700 In this part of the poem the speaker starts talking to her children. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318812 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318812 She starts by explaining how she feels about her abortion.Later on she starts speaking to her children saying how she stole their identity. This is the turning point of the poem and it causes a change of tone. The change went from sad to guilt and grieve. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:37:42 -0700 An abortion is a decision you could make and it causes one life to be taken. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318807 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318807 An abortion is when a mother choses to kill her unborn child. This is the starting sentence and my first impression of this was that this poem is going to be about an abortion. It makes me interested in the poem. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:34:07 -0700 The speaker is explaining how she feels about her abortion. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318796 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318796 The speaker explains this by saying that she stole something. She is basically saying that she stole their lives and identities by aborting. She uses the word stole to indicate that she feels like she took aways something that wasn't hers. She says this and is now regretting the choice she made. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:29:59 -0700 She ends it with a sentence saying that she loved them all to indicate that she's sorry for what she's done. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318787 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318787 She chose to abort and is now sorry for doing so. It makes me wonder if she had the decision or if she was forced to. This makes me wonder that because she seems to regret everything and this guilt won't leave her alone but it seems like she didn't want to abort. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:25:31 -0700 This sentence indicates that the abortion was made when the baby was about to be born. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318784 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318784 She claims that the baby had a body already when she decided to abort. The child was once alive until the speaker aborted. She explains it with commas to show that she regrets it all. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:22:50 -0700 The speaker feels very guilty and she feels like she's the one to blame for the abortion. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318766 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318766 She said that she poisoned the beginning of your breaths. The word poisoned indicates that she feels like she ruined something and that she now understands that what she did was wrong. She realizes this and is now apologizing. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:12:24 -0700 This line shows how the speaker which is possibly a mother is now regretting the decision she made which was aborting. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318734 She is now feeling guilt for doing so and it seems like the guilt won't leave her alone. She describes the guilt as voices that are in her head. The speaker is now feeling regret for aborting and now the guilt is getting to her. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 08:00:42 -0700 This sentence surprises me because an abortion is a choice a mother makes to kill a child before it is born. https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318719 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136397?scroll_to=1318719 This made me wonder if she had an abortion and if so, what made her abort. She uses the word forget to describe how she can't forget what she did. She possibly feels guilt or regret. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 07:55:15 -0700 That purpose might be to describe the tyger as a furious character. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272607 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272607 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:38 -0700 I think Blake is wondering when the brain was or if it was unavailable. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272581 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272581 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:38 -0700 By immortal I think Blake means that its hands and eyes are threatening or powerful in some sort of way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272559 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272559 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:38 -0700 But does he really mean a literal tiger? Or is this poem just an extended metaphor? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272549 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272549 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700 i think that this is a metaphor that is trying to ask how did the tiger make it? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272538 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272538 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700 Why did he choose to include this stanza?Why the night? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272523 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272523 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700 The colors are light which makes me wonder why Blake decided to color it this way. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272519 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272519 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700 Blake uses repetition in this poem which means that whatever is in the first and last stanza is important.What do they mean? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272493 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272493 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700 Blake is stating how the tyger's eyes are the burn of fire. Fire is red or orange and a tigers eyes aren't that color so Blake might be describing how the tyger's eyes are furious. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272481 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272481 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700 If he is referring to god then he might be wondering how god felt when he created stuff. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272449 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272449 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 13:56:37 -0700
