Question

FOR CLASS 7
POEM- ANTIGONISH

Answer 1

Answer:

In some ways it makes perfect sense that the poem is meant to evoke a ghostly presence.

Explanation:

Interestingly, the poem feels much more whimsical and childlike when read in its entirety whereas reading the first stanza in isolation feels much more sinister and seems to refer to more than a mere ghostly presence.
