Think: What do you think the poem is about?

Wonder: What are you curious about?

Step inside the child’s shoes:

Step Inside the shadow's shoes-

If I was the shadow, I would be chasing my human form all day long, looking like a black ghost. In the morning and the evening, I am really tall; however, I am really short in the afternoon. At night I am really energetic as I jump onto the bed alongside my human form. In the morning, it is a totally opposite story since I adore my sleep.

The shadow feels lazy because it stays on the bed like a sleepy head and like a coward.

Step inside the child shoes-

The child feels fascinated by the shadow as he grows but sometimes, he feels frustrated because the shadow makes a fool out of him.

We have noticed that the narrator is comparing the shadow to different objects and people while using his perspective to explain what he thinks the shadow is doing.

Think:

The poem is about the narrator describing what he thinks the shadow is doing using different adjectives and verbs to do so.

The poet is showcasing perspectives as what the poet sees the shadow as, might seem different to the reader or somebody else.

Wonder:

We wonder why the narrator or poet is talking about his shadow as if it was a real person?

We wonder why the poet's perspective changed over the poem, as a shadow cannot change but the perspective of the author will.

TThink:

It would feel that it stuck to the narrator's body and it disappears and appears at random times while it is chasing him and can grow and shrink as it pleases

Step inside the child's shoes -

We think that the child feels scared as it is basically following the child wherever he goes and it calls him lazy because he has to drag him everywhere and it acts differently because it grows and shrinks as it pleases.

Step Inside the child's shoes-

If I was a child, which I am, I would think my shadow has a hormone problem, since it keeps on growing and shortening. I would think my shadow is immortal. My shadow is a big scaredy cat, since it is always behind me.
