                                                The Arrow and the Song

            I enjoyed reciting my poem “ The Arrow and the Song” by Henry Wadsworth Long fellows. I liked the choice of words he used to describe the arrow flying through the air. Like line 8 “ For who has sight so keen, and strong”. That was my favorite line out of the whole entire poem.  I also enjoyed his use of words in certain areas to make it rhyme. Also I liked what he was interpreting the poem into. What he was interpreting was that the arrow means bad and the song means good. My overall performance on how I recited the poem was mediocre. I wish I could have remembered the fourth the last line. Though I did remember the first three stanzas. Though overall I don’t think I did well at all.
