comment that it was "well written‚ imaginitive‚ and nicely argued." The possibility was well explained. What lowered my score were spelling and grammatical errors‚ so please double check your work. Essay: When first reading this poem one could easily assume that this poem is about an eagle and nothing else (Tennyson).
