These alternate words were chosen because of the possibility that readers could be of a younger age group, and might come across the original words and not know the meaning of them. The reason I would make these changes is to basically make the poem easier to read for all ages. With the help of online dictionaries, you can find simplified and precise definitions of words. As for online thesauruses, you’re aided in finding synonyms of any given word.…
