Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- How are all of these questions related to one another? What do they all have in common?
- Why do you think the poem splits its focus on nature (with the rose and tree questions) and technology (with the car and train questions)?
- Do you think this speaker is really after answers to these questions? Why or why not?
- If you had to answer the speaker, what would your response be to each question?
- How is personification used in this poem?
- Why do you think this poem breaks each question up into its own stanza?
