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.

Explanation:
"The Monkey's Paw" is W. W. Jacobs' classic tale of the dangers of messing with fate.

Answer: Sentences 6 and 7.
Throughout the passage, everything rolls smoothly. The punctuation marks are used correctly, and conjunctions are used only when needed. Howevr we reach a bland sentence, "I learned how to focus my camera." Imagine you getting out of school, and your parents asked <em>How was your day?</em> You may respond with <em>It was good</em>. ok...what else, what happened that made it good. Yes, most of us may respond with this because you don't want to dive into the crazy, stressful, test filled day you had, but in stories and in the real world responding with a one noun and verb doesn't help you through anything. If sentence 7, "I also learned how to choose what to photograph." was joined with sentence 6, it would eliminate useless words and avoids any abrubt pauses in your work. The sentence then should say, "I learned how to focus my camera, as well as what to photograph." Now your reader can connect the dots easier and it's not a manual job needed to be done. Hope I helped!
