Question

Summary of Earth Day poem by Jane Hyatt Yolen

Answer 1

Answer:

I think the purpose of this poem is to persuade us to take care of the Earth. I think this because the author says, “I am the Earth/And the Earth is me.” This quote shows me that the author is telling us that we are part of the Earth, and if it dies, we die as well.

Answer 2

Answer:

I think the purpose of this poem is to persuade us to take care of the Earth. I think this because the author says, “I am the Earth/And the Earth is me.” This quote shows me that the author is telling us that we are part of the Earth, and if it dies, we die as well. Another quote that proved this to me was “…Earth needs/Grass and stone and tree…” I think this quote shows that the Earth needs all of it to survive and we can’t destroy it. All of this leads me to believe that the purpose of this poem is to persuade.
