melville

this poem is a very intresting poem, because it tells you how to be an
adult and to stay true to yourself. This poem uses a lot of
personification to help it make it intresting. the author of this poem
is named Rudyard Kipling, he wrote many poems and many books he is a
famous author/poem writer. this is an excellent poem, because of its
sound, its figurative language and the new perspective. this poem has
a lot of repition in it. this poem has a lot of phases like "if you
can". Kipling use the phrase if you can a lot to help young readers
realize what adult-hood is all about. Kipling wrote this poem
originally to his son I guess when he was down writing it he read it
and said this will inspire millions of people one day. Second would be
that this poem has kind a a rhyme scheme. Like this poem has words
rhyming like "waiting , hating ".this poems figurative language is
really weird because figurative language has metaphor simile and
personification but this poem only has personification. last is when
you read this poem it sounds good. When you read it out loud you hear like a rhyming thing like kind of a heartbeat. This poem has a lot of metaphor in it. This poem the metaphor it is “if you can dream -- and not make thoughts aim“. in this poem
Kipling uses metaphor’s very excated with his words. Second would be that Kipling also used a lot of personification. the personification in this poem like “if you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters the same.” Kipling is trying to say stay true to yourself rich or poor never change your attitude. Last would be personification and metaphor. Kipling choose these words carefully. Kipling choose this words carefully because he wanted rhymes all sorts of stuff. First why he told this lesson. Kipling choose this lesson for his son. Kipling told his son this so he knows what his heading for in life. Second is why he choose this. Kipling wanted to inspirer little kids to not make the wrong choice. This is like a guide to help kids like don’t change because people tell you to .
