which class question is this

Answer 2

Hey! Here is your answer:

Explanation:

The poet explains that the hound is not scary. He means that the black color of the hound is not evil at all as we think black is an evil color after all. He says that the black hound is being dead-helpful in the World War 1 (WW1). The hound carried messages to the soldiers and comforted them during typical situations. In the first stanza the hound is in action.

In the second stanza, the dong is tired after all the works, after the day and is gentle rather than being wild. Its eyes were no more aflame, his eyes clearly sense the tiredness to the poet.

Overally, the poet expresses his love for animals even if they are dangerous, wild and scary.
