@bridgey_midgeyy Yes, cause the speaker keeps referring to the girl as little, simple, and sweet. He's affected by her innocence. #IntPoe13

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@cdjoyne2_J Absolutely. If you take into account the significance of the title, he is saying life is in nature not in books. #IntPoe13

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@KenyaWall1015 Yes, or the value of life vs death. Kinda like he wants to give meaning to life and the positive things about it. #IntPoe13

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

The comprehensible visual imagery of "We Are Seven" helps to communicate the poems theme of childhood innocence. #IntPoe13

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

The number 7 is considered to be the number of perfection, security, safety and rest. #weareseven #wildcard #IntPoe13

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@abyrum_uncg I definitely think we can see this maturity in the line, "My sin was too much hope for thee, lov'd boy." #IntPoe11

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@ToniOutlawEng Yes! 1st read it surprised me, but then I thought maybe the speaker was Johnson's father! He never knew his dad. #intpoe11

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@vmkelley_POETRY Interesting! He out lived all his kids. He might have been speaking from anger. #IntPoe11

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

Johnson was the 2nd best poet in England of his time, just behind William Shakespeare! #IntPoe11 #wildcard

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

Adding the [letters] in lines 18-20 gives u an entirely dif way of reading the line. Why did Corbet include that in his poem? #IntPoe11

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@JustinJordaneng @JordanReavesENG thats interesting b/c in that time marriage wasn't love like now so to us its like being trapped #IntPoe9

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@KenyaWall1015 i agree. Why do you think it matters so much to her? #intpoe9

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@CThomasDean its something particularly produced from a tree that is used for its good fragrant. Its a type of balsam. #intpoe9

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

Donne's writing style consists of various paradoxes, ironies and dislocations. How does that info change the meaning of his poem? #intpoe9

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

It's interesting how Chudleigh's poem is entirely 1 stanza, which might signify how marriage abolishes our individual freedom. #intpoe9

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@leahnewnam_UNCG Thats interesting. Especially if you think about the fact that his brother died 2 days before the poems written. #IntPoe8

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@vonna_barnes I know! It's like the speaker thinks a pig is nothing but food. Its terrible! #IntPoe8

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

@tierra_tnthomp3 Yes! He is so captivated by the birds song. I think he might want to escape reality and the Nightingale saves him #IntPoe8

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

Here is an interesting analysis of "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats. What do you think? #IntPoe8

[Linsy Segarra @SegarraLinsy]

Do you find "Ode to a Pig" by Southey to be a paradox? Is the speaker addressing the pig's duty to man, or man's hunt of the pig? #IntPoe8
