Use it the same as you would use a warm coat on a winter day, or a pair of warm socks that the cold cant get through.]]> 2021-11-11 17:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884756478 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884759483 I love you. I have nothing else to give. So use this as a pot full of corn the fill your belly in winter. Use it as a scarf to wear on your head and to keep your hair back.]]> 2021-11-11 17:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884759483 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884764320 I love you. Keep it, treasure it, use it like a map when you'r lost and in need of directions. If you come looking I will be there with your answer. I will be there to comfort you.]]> 2021-11-11 17:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884764320 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884768118 I love you. It's all I have to give, but it's all one needs to live sometimes. It's all you need to live inside when the world outside is so cruel, and it feels as though no one cares if you live or die. I am here to remind you, that you are loved.]]> 2021-11-11 17:39:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884768118 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884838070 The first stanza starts off very slow, it simply addresses the typical things we as people use to comfort ourselves. Like "a warm coat" or "thick socks", simple things we use to keep ourselves comfortable on a cold day. It then goes into the next stanza with the words "I Love You", this is where the poem begins to pick up. The second stanza continues to list simple things we do each day to stay happy. Using "I Love You" again to transition to the third stanza where the poem assures the reader that it will be there forever, and as long as the reader keeps the poem somewhere safe it will be there whenever you are in need of deeper comfort. Once again using "I Love You" to transition to the last stanza where the poem begins to close by saying that there is nothing else, and even the simplest phrase will be there even when it seems like no one else cares about you.]]> 2021-11-11 18:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884838070 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884847585 "I am offering this poem" uses repetition throughout to further touch the reader and make its point much clearer. By repeating the words "I Love You" at the end of each stanza it's clear that there is deeper meaning behind those words for the author. "I Love You" is the main focus and the whole basis of the poem. By repeating this phrase the reader can clearly see it is an important sentence and with that can begin to connect the pieces. ]]> 2021-11-11 18:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1884847585 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1894476698 The speaker of the poem can be anyone, personally I feel as though this poem is open for interpretation. Since it is reaching out to those who may need a little extra comfort, the speaker position is open to be whoever the reader needs it to be. The reader can imagine the speaker to be their parent, significant other, or even just a friend. The tone throughout the poem is very light, positive, and loving. This poem has to feel very welcoming for the readers to understand the message thats being conveyed. The simple words "I Love You" help to convey this positive tone, followed by the way the poem describes certain things. For example a full stomach on a cold day, or a warm jacket on a cold day. Those things are examples of when people are most comfortable. By using examples like this it also helps to covey that very welcoming and loving tone.]]> 2021-11-16 15:35:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1894476698 rs129868 https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1894513626 The metaphors presented throughout the poem help contribute to the meaning of the poem. Baca compares the poem he is writing to a scarf, warm coat, and a full stomach. These comparisons are the metaphors he decides to use to help further convey his message. I think that Baca uses multiple metaphors and examples of comfort items so the poem would be relatable for anyone at some point in the poem. Maybe not everyone likes a warm coat, or fuzzy socks, or a full stomach. But at least one of those examples has to touch the reader, maybe not all of them will be relatable but at least one of them should be. Each example in the poem is presented in a metaphoric way, because each example is a comparison to how the poem should make the readers feel. ]]> 2021-11-16 15:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rs129868/nw9muv8qrvg9rp3p/wish/1894513626
