Hey guys. Its me Redwan, 8th grader.
Help me with this.
A Requiem
Skimming lightly, wheeling still,
The swallows fly low
Over the fields in cloudy days,
The forest-field of Shiloh -
Over the field where April rain
Solaced the parched ones stretched in pain
Through the pause of night
That followed the Sunday fight
Around the church of Shiloh -
The church, so lone, the log-built one,
That echoed to many a parting groan
And natural prayer
Of dying foeman mingled there -
Foeman at morn, but friends at eve -
Fame or country least their care:
(What like a bullet can undeceive!)
But now they lie low,
While over them the swallows skim,
And all is hushed at Shiloh.
Paraphrased question: Read this. Write 3 para essay (short) in which you explain how Meville transforms a painful experience into something beautiful. In your analysis, consider such elements as imagery,tone, alliteration,symbolism, and end rhyme.
