Summer Grass Analysis


Summer Grass
by Carl Sandburg
Summer grass aches and whispers (Personification:This line in the poem describes the inanimate object "grass" as if it were living with feeling of aches anwhispers  which in reality its just the breeze going through the grass.)

It wants something: it calls and sings; it pours (personification: Its referring the grass to be singing calling and wanted  as if it were human with human emotions)
out wishes to the overhead stars. Personificationsummer grass can not wish and do human related things)
The rain hears; the rain answers; the rain is slow. Personification: the rain can not sing hear or answer like a human being.
coming; the rain wets the face of the grass.personificationRain does not listen to summer grasses needs or commands and obeys summer grass and rain don't actually communicate like humans  making it personification. 


Introduction :Nature poems such as "Summer Grass" by:Carl Sandburg demonstrates personification."Summer Grass" is about  the how sweet summer nature connects.In my opinion, the tone of this poem is hope,and desire because it's about nature wanting something,desiring it,and wishing for it.

I think the poem "Summer Grass"  presents personification through examples such as the grass aches and whispers. Grass is an inanimate object.It can not actually have human living emotion,and feeling such as aching and whispering.Also sentences like it wants something,it calls,it sings,it pours   would be personification,and in fact the next three sentences out wishes to the over head stars,and "The rain hears; the rain answers;the rain is slow, Coming: the rain wets the face of the grass"SO those sentences are personifications because inanimate objects in nature such as grass and rain don't wish or have human feeling or even  humane conversations with one and other where there confused or even asking a question or even demanding it.   

Metaphors and their impact on the tone

The overall impact the figurative/connotative language has on the meaning of the piece and the characters, setting...etc
