Worked on draft mind map for "Saturday Climbing"

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Write a quality text analysis of either "What Shall he Tell that Son" or "To a Sad Daughter". Consider these elements in your response:

• Why you chose the poem
• Why you think the author wrote the poem
• What the poem reveals about good parent/child relationships

Compare and contrast the friendships in Earl Birney's "David" and Budge Wilson's "Lysandra's Poem". You must include:
1. Qualities of friendship in BOTH stories.
2. Evidence of these qualities in each text.
You may present this information in whatever manner you like, (eg. Mind map, short essay, Venn Diagram).

Reading response:  Based on the poem, "David", by Earl Birney, what do you think are the author's beliefs with respect to the characteristics of true friendships?  Locate evidence from the poem that supports your thinking.
