Peanuts

It was raining outside, thunders and lightning. Loud inside and loud outside.
These peanuts are making me thirsty?!
Everyone at the party was confused, scared and no one knew what to do next!

Tone - is voice
Mood - is setting, the way it's described, usually using imagery

Swoosh, swoosh, the snow was thrown everywhere around. Jumping over obstacles, while the sun shined over him. The powder was untouched and no one but him was there.
This is amazing!!!!!!!!!

Poem

The Woods that Bring the Sunset Near
The wind from out of the west is blowing
The homeward-wandering cows are lowing,
Dark grow the pine woods, dark and drear, --
The woods that bring the sunset near.
When o'er wide seas the sun declines,
Far off its fading glory shines,
Far off, sublime, and full of fear --
The pine woods bring the sunset near.
This house that looks to east, to west,
This dear one, is our home, our rest;
Yonder the stormy sea, and here
The woods that bring the sunset 

I am an eagle
As father gave the push, my mother whispered, “Fly, my child!”
Resplendent in my feathers, yet was frightened of the wild
unknown for that where I grew up, I had to leave and find
the reason for my wings and claws, and how I can’t be mild. 

The rush of warm wind cushioned me as I took my first flight,
majestic bird who gracefully flew to such soaring heights.
From that day on I fed myself and did my parents proud
for they have taught me not to let the prey escape my sight.

For forty years I roamed the land and soared over the sea,
but then the time had come to make the choice that’s hard for me.
Up on the steepest rocky mount, I went and by my own
removed my brittle beak, talons, and old wings painfully.

Why did I have to go through all the changes and the pain?
Those parts were worn and have become my weakness and my bane.
So now that God has given me another thirty years,
behold me after my rebirth, the eagle soars again! 

"The Eagle soars again!" The poem is about An Eagle who is let free, and learns how to fly and take care of itself. It symbolises the real life and the choices made in life. The eagle is pernificated in the aspects that at the beginning it lives with its family, like a child, and then it must learn how to fly and take care of itself, like a child who is growing up and needs to get a job and live on its own money, and then after a long time of doing this, the Eagle must remove its old body parts because they are weakening it, and so for an old person, who is not able to do what he/she could do when he/she was young. It is well written and it's presenting the human life by personalising An eagle.

The poem "I'm an Eagle" uses imagery, metaphor and personification to help personificate the Eagle. Is using a lot of sight imagery to describe the looks of the Eagle, "removed my brittle beak, talons, and old wings painfully". It uses one metaphor which says that the Eagle will live on after he removed his weakened body parts, uses a lot of symbolism to describe its life and it represents the human life which uses personification. It has a lot of adjectives and adverbs to help with the imagery and that's why it's really good.
