- Attitude: Tone and Mood
- Tone: How does the speaker feel about the subject (father to daughter)?
- Mood: How is the reader supposed to feel?
- What are the shifts in the poem? We found the first shift of time from daughter to bird. When does the next shift occur?
- Title: Look at the title again. What do you think it means now? What could the idea of a writer/story symbolize?
- Theme: What is themessage of the poem? Think bigger. What is the overall life lesson?
- Go to line 31. What might “It” mean? Answer should be written on poem.
- Why would a father want his daughter's “passage” to be "harder"? Relate this to the anecdote about the bird.
