Poem:
Neglect by R. T. Smith
Summary:
The speaker in this poem seems to be filled with regret and sadness due to the fact that his apple tree he had neglected is now gone. It connects to a more general theme, such as loss. The fact that, we neglect to spend as much time as possible with the ones we love, and regret it in the ending when we realize it is too late. We tend to blame ourselves in every way, for it’s hard to deal with sudden tragedies. Looking at the apple tree as more of a metaphor, one can see that the speaker cannot help but find something precious to be lost. Continuously he even says “I should have” rather than facing acceptance. The reason the speaker’s idea can be expressed easily without having to actually state the loss of an apple tree as metaphorical, is that the poem is titled neglect. It is simply generalizing what others could feel the topic may express to them. The tone of voice complements the words perfectly, for it is emotional and the metaphors carry on the moral of the poem. The mood constantly makes you think that he is facing a hard battle, for it is depressing. “Is the scent of apple boughs smoking in the woodstove what I will remember of the Red Delicious I brought down, ashamed” This line presents regret and the burden that hangs over him for he had not cared for the tree enough, although he had loved it very much; much like the people in our lives. However, he does speak of everyone, “For any living being unloved, untended.” For in his mind he knows what it’s like to do such upon others. Overall what the speaker feels the reader feels, and the feeling is guilt and grief.

Although I cannot write a whole essay here, I can give you ideas and tips to write one:
- You can select three famous people known for being successful in their specific areas.
- You can research about those people's lives and use their history to show readers how they received support from others. Thus, you can prove they succeeded because of the support they had.
- You can also write a more personal essay, using your own or your friends' and family's experiences in life.
- You can, for example, mention your parents and how they graduated and got good careers because of the financial and emotional support they had from their own parents and siblings.
When writing an essay, it is important to consider the following:
- Once you decide what you want to write about, think of what you can provide to prove your point. What evidence can you offer readers? Statistics, examples, and personal experiences are useful here.
- Outline the introduction, the body, and the conclusion. This will guide you in case you get lost while writing.
- Remember that your conclusion must not add new information to the essay. It should simply remind readers of what your central idea is, but with fewer words.
