Hello there!
The poem “Talking in their sleep” is a poem about a tree that goes into hibernation.
Every winter a tree loses its leave. Depending on the condition it may or may not look in a bad condition.
This tree feels that someone else feels it no longer has any beauty due to the harsh winter.
It though feels that it can prove the person wrong - in the spring when it is once again beautiful.
Therefore the central idea of the poem may be something like the quote “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. Although the tree may not seem alive at the moment, it will be beautiful once again.
I hope this helps you!

The word with the strongest connotation and tone is “terror.”
Terror is a word that describes the highest point of fear. Anxiety and worry are incorrect because they describe relatively minor levels of emotion and fear. Alarm is being startled by something and you are able to recover from the scare. However, terror is often immobilized, petrified, fear with seemingly no hope in ones situation. Therefore, terror has the strongest tone.
I hope this helps! :)
Both focus on the idea that one person is trying to create or shape another.
