emily's thoughts

Let me just say this is the most amazing thing I've read besides the poem "Richard Cory"! This reading starts off by describing how only water existed before the earth did. Next, it talks about a the wife of  an ancient chief and how she has a dream about a tree. The woman then tells the chief about her dream and he demands to have it removed so it gets removed by the man himself. As his wife leans over to take a look at the trees' inside she slips and falls in as she holds the seeds she was going to use. As in the beginning was explained there were animals living in the water. This is what captures the lady's attention the thought of her seeing water inside the trees' trunk and that is why she falls in. The animals and birds inside the tree see the woman falling in so two swans decide to help her, they then think she is not like them and that she must live on earth. They believe the earth is under the water so they send each animal to get it but only one gets

I think the poem Richard Cory gives me a lot to think about, i think it's tone is gloomy and very detailed. This poem gives a lot to think about because this poem shows that not everything is as it seems or sometimes we don't know how a person is feeling and we already think they're so happy and lucky, but in reality we have no idea how the person feels. Not only does this poem describe so much in very small words but it is detailed so very well.
