Reaction to The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear
Ⅰ. Summary
The poem I chose to summarize and react is The Owl and the Pussy Cat by Edward Lear. The type of this poem seems to be narrative poetry because it seems to tell a story which the owl and the pussy cat marry.
Ⅱ. Reaction
1. Character
・The Owl: He sang for the girlfriend with looking up to the stars above so I thought he was romantic.
↑
★They love each other.
↓
・The Pussy Cat: She dicided marring to listen his sweet song so I thought she was pure.
・The Piggy: He gave the owl and the pussy cat a ring so I thought he was very kind.
・The Turkey: He gave them himself for dinner so I thought he was generous.
2. Personification
In this poem, they went to sea by using a boat, and there was the owl which was playing guiter and singing a song. Thease actions looked just like a human, so we can know that a personification was used in the poem.
3. Connotation
I thought that the piggy had a ring was important character, because a ring is to play a role to join twe together on marring.
4. General Opinion
An auther expressed love story with animals not a human being, so I felt it was very pretty. However, a scene which they took a ring away from the piggy's nose is grotesque.
