The Eagle :O
Soooooooooooooooo.. This is eagle is awesome in the poem "The Eagle", by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. According to the author of the poem, he is cool. The author was descriptive according to how the eagles body form is and what he is surrounded by. He states how close the eagle is to the sun and how he stands above the rest of the world. Which shows how high an eagle can be. Also, that the "wrinkled sea" is beneath him which could symbolize a person who is young and beautiful standing above a person who is old and worn out. The eagle is very powerful because when he falls he is described as a thunderbolt. This could also be a reference to Zeus, the most important god in Greek Mythology who uses thunderbolts. For such a small poem, Tennyson is very thorough in making this eagle seem really great.

Even though you are right next to me and i can tell you this i have to type it :( well i agree with you that the author of this poem does say a lot about this amazing animal. I also never thought about looking at that poem the way you did so i give you props for that.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really like this poem at all but great job telling the meaning of the poem for me to somewhat understand
ReplyDeleteThe poem was short but it does give a lot of details we need to figure out (mushrooms!)
ReplyDeleteThis poem says a lot of exagerations like the eagle being close to the sun...but still is a good short poem with details.
ReplyDeleteThis poem was pretty decent. It showed how bold eagles are. And I don't even like birds.
