Answer:
Have You Earned Your Tomorrow’ by Edgar Guest is a four stanza poem that is separated into sets of four lines, or quatrains. Guest chose to conform these quatrains to a consistent rhyme scheme. The lines follow the pattern of aabb ccaa ddee ffaa. Immediately noteworthy is the repetition of the -ay” sound that appears in the first, second and fourth stanzas. It has been used repetitively in order to unify the text. The sound repeats, just like the speaker’s questions are rephrased in order to make a new impact. Both elements of the poem constantly press on the reader’s mind.
As a reader will immediately notice upon beginning ‘Have You Earned Your Tomorrow’ that the text is marked by questions directed at the reader. Each stanza contains at least two, sometimes three questions which probe at a one’s treatment of others. For example, the second stanza inquires into friendly greetings and kind actions while the third is concerned with helping others and giving hope. The speaker’s words are piercing, leaving no room for interpretation. Any reader who considers them, even briefly, will be challenged to analyze their own goodness.
