In the poem "Field Below" the tone of the poem matched the way they sang it.It was very sad and depressing in a way that most people wouldn't think. Slow music shows that its not going to be happy or upbeat; since slow is the opposite of fast this will be a sad song. She is most likely regretting decisions that he/she made. " I wish I would have seen the field below," that whole line is showing that whatever decision that the narrator made that they wish they could have seen the outcome before their decision.

In the poem/song "Big Yellow Taxi" the tone of the poem was very sad yet, the song in its newest version is very up beat and happy. The overall message is to show that you don't know what you have until it's taken away. "Big Yellow Taxi" is also showing an awareness about the environment/nature; the poem states this when it says "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,", but if the song is upbeat the person might be happy about getting rid of the trees and bringing industry to where he lives. The song is upbeat until he looses his girl friend to the city which is symbolized as the big yellow taxi.

So you may ask what the main ideas of the poems are; well I think that they are about regret and not thinking decisions through. The lone difference is the people that sing the song because the overall message will always stay the same.

GUMMI BEARS!?!

Scrumptious, Yumptios, they fit in my tumptios,
They are sweet and sugary better than my boogeries,
and they beat the smores on the end of my sword,
With the gluten mixed with the fruitin,
This is why they are gummy and yummy that fit in my tummy.

When they are gone I sing a little song,
Short and sweet better than my feet,
It has a little toon that will come up soon.

When the gummies left there had been a theft
my brother stole them and took a hold of them
He put them in his face and slaughtered them all
Then I played them taps and said a little rap.

O gummies you were so very yummy
but your time has come to sing your little song
That will kill the thrill of the end
Because it is short and sweet and better than my feet
Your time has come to an end.

Mother to Son

In the poem "Mother to Son" Langston Hughes expresses many tones but the main idea is to keep on moving forward through the rough and tough times. He uses many parts of figurative speech including metaphors and similes. Langston uses the metaphor "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair." to show that life is hard and there will be tough times, but you need to power through those or you'll fall behind. A quote from Forest Gump can also explain it "Life's like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you get.". What Forest is saying is similar to what the mother is saying is that you'll get many different obstacles but you have to eat them(keep chugging).

Montag

Montag would walk heavily on his feet, sturdy and tall. Montag(as I would imagine) would be as short as a stack of ashes and stocky like a bull. He would be very built with a lot of ash streaks across his body like the paint on a soldiers face. Montag would be confused but still thinking why we would have books and other items in our class. He would be very appropriate but strong with his opinions and very strict. He would smell of ash. But with all of the knowledge we provided with him he would walk a very different person.
