Use of Personification helps in deep understanding of poem and make if interesting.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Personification means considering some object as a human. J.Patrick Lewis has used personification in his poem. Writing poems in this style makes it easily understandable. When we compare any object with human beings, it becomes easy to get a deep understanding of it.
J.Patrick Lewis writes a poem for children mostly. To enable children to get a deep understanding of the poem he is making more use of personification. This makes is poems more interesting. Like for example if it compares Sun's warmth with the arms of a loving mother.
This is actually false. The basic sentence structure in English is SVO, meaning "Subject, Verb, Object".
Something I’ve been wondering for years
that this is the affect of tone, and mood in this passage.

This is because the passage doesn't say anything about children being weak due to poor nourishment nor parishioners wrongly criticizing their own officials, and if the legal system carefully monitored parish affairs then children wouldn't be getting scalded to death or overlooked.
