Lying in a Hammock

1. 1)There is a possible wanderer laying on a farm that isn’t his. He can hear cowbells fading into the distance as he is watching the sunset. It is most likely summer time because of the blazing hot horse droppings. Then a hawk flies over his head and he states that he has wasted his life.

2. 2)We know that it isn’t his farm that he is on. That he is possibly a wanderer because of all the free time he has, because normally on a farm there is no time to relax on a hammock, it is usually pretty busy. And we know that he doesn’t feel like he has accomplished anything in his life or like that last line reads that he has wasted his life.

3. 3)We know it isn’t his farm because the title suggests it. We can kind of figure out he is a wanderer because normally on a farm there is no time to relax in a hammock, it is usually pretty busy.

4. 4)That he has a lot of free time and that he is laying in a hammock on a farm that isn’t his.

5. 5)Everything is really colorful. He uses a lot of his senses in the poem such as sight, sound, possibly smelling the horse droppings and he can feel the breeze.

6. 6)He looks around him and notices all of colorful life around him and he feels like he has wasted his life and that it may not be as colorful and alive as everything else around him.

  1. Interesting idea presented in question 6: "his life may not be as colorful and alive as everything else around him"
