This is an interesting concept because only at nighttime can something fragile and light rumor is a thought to be processed. Not sure how to take that, but it indeed needs to be elaborated on.

The fact that she has a bad cold, yet states at the end, "One must be so careful these days" makes me think there is a plague or some type of deadly sickness going around

This is like the idea of the light at the end of the tunnel. The wasteland more so because before he claimed to not be living nor dead

I find it interesting that their are a lot of flower references in here. Not to mention the contrasts between the flowers and the environment. It gives you an idea of seeing such beauty in odd places.

I like the twist the is put in this poem. Millay explains that even with love not being the ultimate cure for things, it still is necessary and can do wonders.

Love the fact that he gave the horse character. It really adds to the imagery and musical tone of the poem. It also shows his connection to the horse, journey, and nature.

I fin this line interesting because the speakers giving very relatable qualities to the poem. Because this road is grassy and inviting, it seems like the right path. Yet, that is the path that everyone will choose because it looks so perfect, which leaves the question, Do you want to be like everyone else?

I found this interesting because it is an odd and sad statement. I'm wondering what happened and if this struck the narrator to do such great things, like nurse the sick, make the garden, etc

I enjoy the opposites in the ending of the poem. It really works into the idea of knowing both sides of something to know anything at all. It is a great ideology that is really necessary in order for anyone to fully further their knowledge.

Another instance where he has power over her and doesn't think she is in her right mind. Or at least that is what she thinks john thinks. Reminds me of a husband who will commit his wife just because he doesn't want to deal with her and that may be her fear.

In the line above, you get the impression that she doesn't believe her husband will take care of her. Then in this statement it is proven as she tells the readers that he doesn't believe she's even sick. It seems as if he doesn't think she is maybe intelligent, because he doesn't even believe her when she's the one telling him she's sick

This section has some pairing that is seen in Adams' essay. The confusion and doubt, harmony and beauty, dancing and singing, courage and faith, whether it is comparing or contrasting it is something that should be looked at and examined.

From this section alone I can see a relation to Adams essay. I see this section as Du Bois being asked questions about his thoughts on African-Americans being "a problem." Yet, those people aren't realizing that, in a sense, they are apart of the problem. The line, "Do not these southern outrages make your blood boil?" is a force that adds to the conflict. Why ask the Blacks how they feel when it is obvious that they feel anger towards it? If this were written by Adams, I feel he would say that they are missing the force/experience thats creating the distance and separating themselves from being apart of the form pushing the discrimination forward.

**Not sure if this made sense, but its something that i immediately felt from that section

The ending "or love" is interesting because it aims to poke at a different side of the lifestyle in that time. This gives me the sense that many were un-aware to certain feeling, possibly due to work and the new education

I found it interesting that he kept publishing to satisfy his own ideas. That he believed he could become satisfied, but in turn it didn't lead to that. It shows that just because one is doing and staying busy doesn't mean that it'll lead to the satisfaction that they want.

Within the repetition of "They lion grow" I get a sense of empowerment. It reminds me of the lower-class going through many obstacles and through them, they achieve a greater sense of purpose.
