emotions & responses:

The Red Wheelbarrow: after several rereads: image of the author looking at the image, idyllic scenery; overwhelmed with responsibilities, alone in a field, lonely; immediate beauty in mundane moments

Annabel Lee: dark little story (positive); not a relatable experience, more difficult to create personal connection, feels more fictional/older; smoother reading experience

similarities and differences:

very different readings of The Red Wheelbarrow: gaps in the poem filled in differently/more space for personal associations

Annabel Lee: text leaves less space for personal associations, paints are more detailed picture

# data[].attributes.body
1) Annabel Lee: It feels kinda sad but beautiful at the same time. Nostalgic.

The Red Wheelbarrow: it feels weird. It is hard to understand the meaning. One has to re-read it to somehow guess a meaning.

I felt really confused after The Red Wheelbarrow because it was just so short. With Annabel Lee i feel very annoyed by the speaker. He is too obsessed with the women he loves and needs to let go and move on. By being longer and more detailed you get more invested in the Story, you are also able to picture the Story whereas you are Not in The Red Wheelbarrow.

Red Wheelbarrow: Pensiveness, curiousity

Annabel Lee: Annoyance, drama

The Red Wheelbarrow asks us to read more into it, to engage with it more deeply; you can almost only engage with the stylistic devices/words

Annabel Lee: at least on first glance, seems to offer more; you can engage with the story as well as with the stylistic devices

# data[].attributes.body
Annabel Lee: better structured/more complex (red string between stanzas/lines), use of repetitions (kingdom by the see/love/Annabel Lee), imagery (kingdom by the sea), allusion (religion: angels/Heaven), 6 stanzas with 6/8 lines,

Red Wheelbarrow: no connection between lines (no repetition), no comma/full-stop -> difficulty identifying meter/rhythm, 4 stanzas with 2 lines each: first line with 3 words/second line only one word, one stanza consists of title, no rhyme,

# data[].attributes.body
In Annabel Lee one can understand it way better and feel emotions while reading it. But in The red wheelbarrow you need to read more often to understand it but because of the length i am not able to feel any emotions except confusion.

Question 1/2:

I felt frustrated by the red wheel barrow since I felt the deeper meaning of this very short poem was just nowhere to be found. I just could not fathom its meaning.

The lack of detail and narrative leaves too much space for thoughts and makes the actual meaning of the poem pliable to thought. This poem had left me feeling empty.

On the other hand I was a lot more comfortable with reading the poem Annabelle Lee since it had more detail which made the image drawn by the poem more understandable. It has a narrative that guides me to a possible understanding of the poems meaning. This poem has made me feel invested and inspired.

Question 3:

Both poems have a structure with the difference being that Annabelle Lee uses an abundance of rhymes and imagery. Further more it is a total different style between those two poems with the red wheelbarrow being free verse.

Red Wheelbarrow: all images are very simple: red, white, rainwater, white chickens that describe the simplicity of the wheelbarrow, which makes it all the more important

Annable Lee: Imagery of death and life, religious (angels, demons, heaven), fairytale (kingdom by the sea, highborne kingsmen), forces of nature (sea, water) → underscore huge feelings, drama, high stakes, desperation of loss
