Do like it too? • YesI like it. • 5. What is the difference between liking a work and thinking it is “good?” • You can think that a work is good but not like it and you can like a work and it can be horrible. It depends on the person. Thinking something is good is not a firm answer. • 6. Comparisons are often drawn between poetry and lyrics. How is the poem similar to a song you like? Other than the absence of music, what makes it different? • Most songs have rhyme and rhythm that I listen to but this poem doesn't.
