Personification in Lodged by Robert Frost

1. Can the rain really talk to the wind ? Can the wind really listen to the rain ? Can the flowers really kneel ?

No because the rain doesn't really have a voice, and the wind don't really have any ears, and flowers don't have knees .

2. What are some effects that the tool of personification brings to this problem ?

It will make the reader think about what the writer was saying about the story .

3. If the rain and wind and flowers we're real people, how would one describe the event that is occurring ?

the rain and wind and flowers would like have a full on conversation. and probably argue .

4. If flowers were real people, how do they feel after the wind and rain "smote" the garden bed"?

probably hurt . or relived ? i think the rain hurts flowers . so yea hurt.

5. Speculate on why the speaker of the poem empathizes with the flowers ?

maybe he wants the flowers to stand out more than all the other objects in the poem.
