Answer:
B. To describe the life cycle of a tree
Explanation:
In order to analyze a poem, the best choice would be to go stanza by stanza (letter C).
Each stanza uses different symbols, imagery, figurative language, and sound devices necessary for analyzing a poem. Once you have gathered all these important aspects, that would be easy for you to understand the meaning of the whole poem, even the author himself since every piece of writing is connected to the author's life.
Letter A must not be your choice. Ignoring any metaphors would also mean ignoring the figurative language. Metaphors are important since they add beauty to the poem.
It can't also be B. Reading a poem only one time means failing to understand the whole meaning of the poem. Analyzation does not happen in one reading but twice or many times.
It can't be D. You don't need to write your own poem just to analyze a certain poem. Just as you don't need to do the mistakes of others to understand your own life. Simply learn from them and make a difference.
