Poem Analysis: Summer By Walter Dean Myers
Analysis of “Summer” a poem by Walter Dean Myers
Walter Dean Myers poem “Summer” describes in short how the hot summer days are. This is the reason why I chose the poem. It brings me to a younger time in my life when it was less complicated. It was all about having fun. After reading the poem and the mention of “old men” in line 8 the perspective could be from a young person. It brings me to the thoughts of my summer days with my great uncles and their inability to do much during the heat of the day. Sweat is mentioned twice in the poem, so it can be assumed that this stands out in the memory of the writer though to mention that the first line starts as “ I like hot day, hot days” It comes with the territory and that is what I remember about
