Journal 20

Autumn by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is about autumn and the pleasant weather and jolly it brings to the peoples of this world.  I dont know if it is just me but whenever the perfect autumn day comes around I never want it to end.  In the poem it talks about golden leaves and the perfect autumn day.  Longfellow uses many descriptive words and characteristics to make you feel like you are in the story.  I feel like I say this a lot, but it is what makes a great writer and a great poem.  When I think of golden leaves, I remember the trees with the yellowish bronze leaves on them and the few leaves that have already fallen to the ground.  I think of football and lots of family bonding.
That was analyzed literally and not for the real meaning behind it.  It talks about peoples emotions and how they react within themselves when they are in the presence of company.  It talks about the emotions people have during autumn and the jolly they have.  As I said earlier, whenever the weather is good outside people are less stressed and in a great mood, but whenever its dark and gloomy out people are depressed, stressed, and constantly tired.  Take winder for instance, after christmas break people hate school and beg for snowdays, but when summer comes around they wish they hadn't had the snowdays.  I know for a fact, that on a day that we have lots of rain and its cold out, I hate school, want to sleep, and am extremely tired and on days when it is warm out and the sun is shining I love life and dont care what happens during the day because I know its going to be a good day.  I always have a smile on my face and nothing can put me down.  I always want to hang out with friends and play basketball or football in the front yard with friends.
