Big Yellow Taxi

The topic of Big Yellow Taxi is that they took down the nature that everyone liked and changed it with stuff like a mall and parking lots. That is what I think it means. I think the purpose of writing this poem was to tell us that everything we got is eventually going to go away. There was a lot of figurative language used; it was mostly metaphors and hyperboles. I think this poem is supposed to make you feel thankful, because you don’t know what you have until it's gone.

The Field Below

I think the topic of this poem is that the author regrets that she didn’t see the field below. To show that you shouldn’t take everything you have for granted The figurative language used in this poem is simile and personification, metaphor, and anaphora  The tone is the author feels rerate and the mood is that you feel sorry for her.

The tone and the mood of these poems are very similar. The topic of these poems are the same also.
