before she dies

1. The title seems to mean someone’s perspective before their dog died, and what thoughts went through their head. After reading the poem the title signifies the writer’s feelings toward her\his dog age and about how its going die, and they are curious to know when they are going to come across again. But before I read it I thought it was going to be about maybe her mom dying.
2.You can tell that the writer is going through a-lot of grief, and the tone of voice was sad. It will take a long time to know how it is for you. Like a dog’s lifetime long multiplied by sevens.
3. In the Poem the writers is grieving about his dog whos about to die, the setting is very important in this poem because it puts you in a sad depressing setting it wouldn’t have been the same in another setting.
4. Speakers attitude toward the subject was sad and depressing, hes sad about his dog who is about to die. “I wondered how these lustered days seem to you” when he said that you could tell that he was trying to hope for the best.
5. The dramatic moment in the poem is at the end when the writer says It will take a long time know it is for you. “Like a dog’s lifetime long multiplied by sevens.” He told this poem so that he could release some emotions that he was felling inside. 
6. There wasn’t any figurative language but the way he made it seem like he was talking to a human being , or his best friend. You can tell he really cared about his dog a lot. 
7. The poem represents repetition. She repeats the word “you” in the first stanza. The “you” in the poem is the “she” that is about to die.
8.”late today with my dog wool, I lay down in the upper field, he is panting and aged, me looking at the blue. Leaning.” This is most central because it lets you know she’s talking about the dog in the poem and how she’s spending its last moments with her.
9. The authors tone in the poem are matter-of-fact, contemplative and apathetic. 
10. I relate to this poem by my dog being very old. I always lay down with him and pet him knowing any moment he could pass away. I get the sort of sad feeling the other is representing in this poem
