Your content is mostly correct. The syntax could use some changes. Ruskin Bond uses both logos and pathos. Clark uses strong words which have a negative connotation. The poem is written in free verse. Clark has also made use of auditory imagery to convey his dislike of owls, and in his bid to persuade us to dislike and fear them with equal fervour

The poem owls'Owls' by Leonard Clark has a very harsh and a critically convincing tone which is filled with content contempt for the owl.the Please capitalize when you begin a new sentence and use a proper noun.)poet has used words such as cruel,ghostly,phantoms, screeching and gorged which all have a negivtive (Sp)connotations.

The setting is dark spooky and synister(Sp) which sets an eerie mood which is filled with disgust and revulsion. The poem also talks about the animal  bird being a predator and being gluttonous and having a voracious appetite which scares the reader and brings about an uncanny feeling of revulsion and disgust.

Neil, this is mostly accurate and well written.
You have reversed the order with the last point.
Leonard Clark's tone is convincing, harsh and contemptuously critical of owls. The mood of his poem is gloomy and filled with revulsion and disgust.
On the other hand, the tone of 'The Owl' is mellow, quietly convincing and reassuring with regard to the owl's right to peacefully co-exist with man and other creatures. The mood of 'The Owl' is tranquil and reassured.

Vedika, your content is mostly correct. What is wrong in places is your syntax/sentence framing and spellings. Clark describes owls as 'gluttonous' which means excessively greedy.

Points of comparison between 2 poems (The Owl, Owls) -

Mehr Beta, you have to practise writing and answer framing.Clark's emotions and his tone express disgust, revulsion, hatred and dislike of owls. Ruskin Bond's tone is amiable, calm and reassuring.
Both the poems have been written in free verse and do not have a rhyme scheme.
No 'couplets' have been used anywhere in either poem. In Ruskin Bond's poem, the owl is not regarded as a bad omen...

Whose work is this? I find this annoying to say the least!
In this Amazing( why has A been capitalized here?) poem, the poet has used many poetic devices to enhance descriptions like such as metaphors,similes,personification,alliteration etc. A few examples of personification are " These ugly phantoms of the night" and "the moon"s eye watching them". The poet has also made use of different types of imagery like cosmic imagery,tactile imagery and organic imagery. The line " swallowed greedily in one cruel gulp" is an example of the imagery mentioned above.(You need to give a few more examples as evidence from the text).An example of personification is " The moon's eye watching them". (You have mentioned this earlier)
The setting(There are different settings in the poem) of the poem is at twilight and the tone of the poem is very  harsh, critical and also convincing!(This is correct. The tone is also contemptuously critical of owls).
For me the mood is very disapproving and disappointing (The mood is gloomy, frightening and filled with revulsion and disgust). overall( Please capitalize when you start a new sentence) i think that the poet has made great use of most of the poetic devices and is therefore able to explain his thoughts very well!
Please make note of all the corrections and suggestions offered.

SUPERSTITIONS
1. Owls are famous for their good eyesight and it was thought that you could gain better eyesight from them. In england(Capitalize proper nouns please!) they used to cook owl eggs until they are in ashes? (until they turn to ashes) and put them in a potion and in india they used to just eat owl eyes but it is not true.?
2.Owls are a sign of death in many cultures, including some Native American tribes. For instance, dreaming of an owl signified approaching death for Apache people. But it is not scientifically true.(That is why it is a superstition)

OWL RELATED IDIOMS
1.wise as an owl. (Exceptionally wise, discerning, or sound in judgment.)
2.bring owls to Athens( To do or undertake something redundant, pointless, or futile.)
3.like an owl in an ivy bush. (With a vacant stare, often due to drunkenness)
4.night owl. (A person who prefers to be awake late at night.)
5. Do not trap yourself into an owl's hooting sound where sad nights linger through the blackness of a hound.???

Leonard Clark expresses his dislike for owls by choosing discriptive(sp) words such as stupid face and ugly phantoms( put these in '  ') and describes them as ghostly.The word choice is negetive(Sp) therefore adding to the dissaprooving(Sp) image created by the poet.Words like scurrying mice, hooting and screeching help create auditory imagery.Lonely ruins, moon's eye  and invading? are examples of personification.(When quoting words or lines from the text, make sure to put them in '  ' ) Dark church towers, darkness and twilight help us creat (Sp) an image of the setting.There are various poetic devices used by the poet. Like  floating paper is an example of a simile, do not seem to care if you stare back at them is an example of enjambment, dozing and dreaming is an example of alliteration. These poetic devices help the poet to persuade and convey his thoughts easily.

1)  What is the Author/Poet's purpose? Who has the poem been written for(audience). Do you think the author has been successful in achieving his purpose?

# data[].attributes.body
Ans) The author's or poet's (Leonard Clark) primary purpose in this poem is to persuade us to dislike owls, the same way he does. He used the words (has he actually used these words, or synonyms of these?)gluttonous, impudent, cacophonous, discordent(Sp), and many more. These words suggest that the writer is trying to convince and coax us to view the owls with disfavour defavour owls, and detest them. The poem has been written for us the readers, the audience to engage in the poet's rant against the owls. ourselves in the book. Also yes, according to me being one of the readers, i think he was succesful)Sp) and he has induced in me, a dislike  me to not like owls, and there is some disgust in my mind about owls now. In my view the diction used by the author is very selective, powerful and persuasive.

Good attempt. Pay heed to the corrections made.

Q5- What figurative language/poetic devices, evoke emotions/ create imagery and settings? Cite examples from the poem.

Ans- In the poem owls 'Owls' a mix of poetic devices have been used such as similies(Sp) metaphors, alliteration and personification. Some literary devices have also been used such as enjabment(Sp).Two examples of personification are 'these ugly phantoms of the night' and 'the moon's eye watching them'. However the line 'these ugly phantoms of the night' consists of a metaphor too. An example of enjabment is 'and do not seem to care
if you stare back at them'. The poet has enhanced the poem by using tactile imagery, cosmic imagery, organic imagery etc. An example of a line that contains of tactile, visual and oraganic(Sp) imagery is 'swallowed greedily in one cruel gulp.' The setting of the poem is at twilight(there is more than one setting depending on the time of day), with a few trees around and church towers. The tone is harsh critical and convincing. I feel the poet is trying to convince us to think the same way about owls which as he does. He is trying to us convince that owls are horrible,  disgusting creatures. The mood is determined by the tone, setting and other poetic devices. So, to me the mood came off as very negative, disgusted and angered(why angered? Disgusted maybe?).

Good attempt. Please pay heed to the corrections made.

1)  What is the Author/Poet's purpose? Who has the poem been written for(audience). Do you think the author has been successful in achieving his purpose?

Ans- I feel the authors (please learn apostrophe usage)purpose in this poem is to convince the reader that owls are a deadly loathsome, gluttonous, predatory and cacophonous creatures. For doing  this, the author has described the owls very well. He used words like ugly phantoms, stupid, greedy, cruel, ghostly etc.

Personally I feel owls are beautiful creatures but after reading this poem I felt like they are the most fatal and lethal  frightening and revolting creatures ever. Hence I conclude the author achieved his purpose.

Good attempt. Please pay heed to the corrections made.

Ans) The poet(name) wrote this poem to tell us about his dislike about  of owls. He wants everyone to know how greedy or gluttonous owls are. The poem has been written to make the audience also hate owls. I think the poet could have succeeded or failed in achieving his purpose. I think he succeeded but it depends on the thought of the audience.

Whose work is this? Next time I will not correct it if there's no name attached!
Poetry probably wouldn’t be very interesting if it stayed the same from start to finish. Instead, most poems include a shift, also called a turn or the Italian word “volta,” which expresses a change in the poem. This shift could be as simple as a summary of the preceding lines, or it could be a dramatic transformation of the speaker’s point of view. Some poetic shifts provide relief from tension built up over the course of the poem.

Your explanation of what a shift is, is interesting. Where, however, have the shifts occurred in the poem?

5) What figurative language/poetic devices have been used to enhance descriptions, evoke emotions /create imagery and settings? Cite examples from the poem.

Ans 5)In this short but interesting poem the poet(name) uses a lot of poetic devices like metaphor, similes'(no apostrophes are required with plurals) ,personification, alliteration etc. One such example is in the first verse ,"these ugly phantoms of the night. " This line has  a metaphors and personification in it . The poet also uses a lot of imagery in the poem like tactile imagery , organic imagery , cosmic imagery etc. One such example is in the first        verse ,"swallowed greedily in one cruel gulp ."This line has tactile imagery ,visual imagery and organic imagery. The setting of this poem is eerie. These were the figurative language/poetic devices used in the poem to enhance descriptions, evoke emotions /create imagery and settings.
