Al Young
Stay beautiful
But don’t stay down underground too long
Don’t turn into a mole
Or a worm
Or a root
Or a stone
Come on out into the sunlight
Breathein trees
Knock out mountains
Commune with snakes
And be the very hero of birds
Don’t forget to poke your head up
And blink
Think
Walk all around
Swim upstream
Don’tforget to fly.
Main idea- This poem is about a seed and the advices of someone telling the seed to row and to be strong and tall tree.
Speaker- The narrator
Tone- The tone isinspiration.
Mood- The mood that we felt was the motivation because this poem inspires us to never give up.
Analysis
1. We found a repetition in the first stanza, in line number four,five and six with the phrase “or a”.
2. We have assonance in line number two with words: down, underground, and long.
3. We have in the second stanza, in line number nine apersonification when he says: “knock out mountains”, this is a personification because when he says “knock” he refers to eliminate and in this case he is saying that the mountains be eliminated, and nora seed or people can do that because it is nature.
4. We found other repetition in lines number one, three, twelve, and seventeen when he says the word:”don’t”.
5. Also we have arepetition in lines twelve and seventeen with the phrase: “Don’t forget to”. The author emphasizes saying that because he does not want you to forget anything in life, like the fact of be someonein it.
6. We found imagery in line number eight when he says: “breathe in trees”, he use the sense of smell.
7. We have a personification in the third stanza, in lines fourteenand sixteen, “think and swim”, because the seeds can’t do that.
8. We found other assonance in lines thirteen and fourteen with words: blink and think; (they have the same sound “ink”).
