Intro to Poetry

1.) What is the significance of the title?
- The title gives the reader an idea of what the poem is going to be about. And in this case "Everything is Going to be Alright," just goes out and says what it's going to be about.

 2.) What is the tone of the poem?
- The tone of this poem is very optimistic and you can tell that the author is very observant. They acknowledge the fact that death is inevitable but we shouldn't worry about that and we should be happy.

3.) What is your mood as you read it?
- My mood as I read this poem is being content with everything around me. They talk about the sun and the clouds and thinking about that makes me happy and grateful for the world in general.

4.) Is there a shift? Where? From what to what?
- There is a slight shift near the beginning about death but then quickly bounces back to being happy and appreciative. It touches bases with dealing with death but then says we shouldnt worry about it.

5.) What is the theme of the poem?
- The theme of the poem, or the central message, is to be grateful and appreciative because the sun rises and sets everyday. It also means that if you do that then you will be content and happy with your life and that's a really awesome feeling. Don't worry about death or sad things, just live in the moment and enjoy life.
