1. Apart from the obvious title, what is this poem about? (Use one word or a short phrase.)
Change of perspective
2. Using the word or phrase you gave in #1, what about what the poem’s about? Write a theme (claim) statement you derive from the poem in your own words. (Complete sentence required.)
One should not face difficult decisions flippantly when one cannot understand the gravity of the situation.
3. Based upon what you discovered in #2, do you agree with what the poet seems to be suggesting to the reader? Why or why not?
I do agree. Too often we don’t think things all the way through because we are stuck in our own perspectives and aren’t willing to change them if it means coming to something uncomfortable.
