If Poem Response

#Finished?😬😶 oof

The connections I can make to the title of the poem is a person asking someone else some questions.

The poem is organized in 4 stanzas, each stanza has 8 lines. The rhyming pattern of this poem is AAAABCBC, ABABCDCD,ABABCDCD and ABABCDCD.

The tone of the poem is encouraging, because, even though every line is different than the other, they all mean never give up, even when others say you can't do it. It also means that don't try to make enemies because then they might do something bad to you.

The poetic devices in ''If'" are...

  1. Hyperbole
  • You can keep your head when all about you are losing their heads. Because you can't lose your head and still be alive... I think. Also because I know it means when others are angry, not literaly losing their heads. 😳😵😳😳
  •  Meet with triumph and disaster. Because you can't really meet them at the same time, can you? 😵😳
  • Make dreams your master. How can dreams be your master? 😵😳
  • Watch the things you gave your life to broken and stoop and build 'em up with worn tools. Hmmm... You can't really give your life to someone or somthing and still be alive... Am I right? Proabbly am!😊

                3. Metaphor~ Make one heap of all your winnings. I don't know how but people wrote this in their blogs so I guess I'm right?😬😵😳😶 ^﹏^ ~_~ (^o^) *-* >﹏<

Also always be kind to                                                                                          people?😮😅           


The poet wants us to think about how quickly we make enimies and give up I think...^﹏^
