The speaker tells us that he "struggled with" his friend's words. Based on that, how do you think the speaker felt about what happened? macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204904390 2024-11-06 18:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204904390 6. We know that the father is comparing the situation between the people and the worms to the speaker's situation with his best friend. How could the speaker respond to his best friend in a way that is like a person stepping on the worms? macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204905778 2024-11-06 18:04:33 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204905778 7. The father gives another way to respond to the worms in stanza 2. Which of the two responses does the father seem to think is the best? macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204909127 2024-11-06 18:06:54 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204909127 8. The father gives his son advice in the form of an implied metaphor. Rather than telling the son directly how to respond to his friend, the father makes a comparison between the way to handle worms and the way to handle hurtful words. How might hurtful words and worms be alike? macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204912338 2024-11-06 18:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204912338 9. Unless they are sick, which the father in this poem does not seem to be, people usually clear their throats when they feel "choked up" or emotional. Why might the father become emotional in this poem as he gives his son advice? macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204913832 2024-11-06 18:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204913832 10. What difference exist between the way the speaker initially reacts to the situation and the way his father tells him he should react? macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204914605 2024-11-06 18:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3204914605 macyscott3 https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3205351891 2024-11-07 00:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/macyscott3/hgwmanb80yr6omab/wish/3205351891
