PLZ HELP 30 POINTS AND BRAILIEST IF CORRECT. When trying to understand a poem, the best place to start is with the question, "What did you notice?" Don't worry about what anything means, just focus on the words on the page. You might notice "these two lines rhyme" or "I noticed the crow, it seemed important to me."

After you read "Dust of Snow," make notes about at least three things you noticed. Then, with an instructor or fellow student, have a quick discussion about the poem. Share what you noticed. Write down what other people noticed. Did you notice the same things? What do you feel about the parts that other people have pointed out?

Your response should be at least 150 words in length.

Answer:

I noticed that the poem rhymes a lot. Also another thing that I noticed is that the poem never talks about death, but the concept of death is implied heavily. Another thing that I noticed is that the poem personifies the heart. Giving the heart the person-like quality of being able to change it's mood. My partners thoughts about the poem "Dust of Snow' are... My partner noticed a connect between a hemlock tree and a crow. They noticed that things fell down like your feelings can fall down. They also noticed that the poem makes you view the dust of snow more negitivley. My partner and I noticed that the hemlock tree and crow both implied death, with the line "Of a day I had rued" backing up the implied meaning of death. I feel that the parts that my partner pointed out were true. They noticed that things fell down (the snow) and that emotions also fell down too (Of a day I had rued).

Answer:I noticed that the poem sounded happy to me and first but then a sudden changed happend when i came upon the words a change in mood, i felt like my mood changed when i heard those words. Also i noticed some hryme conneted to different lines. For Instence, eachline in the poem didnt rhyme but a stanza down it did. The word heart stood out to me, it was because it was really the only happy thing i felt in this poem, all the other words made me feel gloomy.
