The Rainy day Analysis
Organization pattern: chronological
Poem I am writing about: “Rainy Day” Wadsworth Longfellow
What I want to include in my introduction: Identify the poem and author. Begin with an overview of the poem’s theme. Include thesis statement.
Thesis statement: Everybody has happy and gleeful moments and dark and dreary moments; yet only the people who understand this are truly content.
Evidence first paragraph: In the first stanza Longfellow’s uses words such as cold, dark, and dreary to compare nature to life
Evidence second paragraph: My life is cold, and dark, and dreary; / it rains and the wind is never weary;” (6-7). In these lines Longfellow shows how there is no hope and there is only darkness ahead, he enhances the feeling of loss and darkness by using imagery which has a more sorrowful effect.
Evidence for third paragraph: Then contradicting these lines he later says, “Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; / Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;” (11-12). Through the use of rhyme and positive connotation and imagery Longfellow explains that in the end, above all the dark clouds
What I want to say in my conclusion: Sum up, restate thesis. Maybe add something about how the poem makes us feel better.

One of my favorite authors is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. And one of my favorite poems (that I’ve read) would be The Rainy Day.

Not only this but you should also find happiness in sad moments and not let the bad day get you down. In stanza one Longfellow immediately points out that he’s sad with words like as cold, dark, and dreary to compare nature to life. he uses
