1. I imagine two people that are in a relationship and that they cannot solve their problems so they are kissing for the last time and then after that, they will never see each other again. The tone is sad because these are two people that are in love and cannot work out their problems so they have to break up.
2. The tone has changed in lines 2-4. The speaker is saying that he is now glad to be free. Cleanly and freely suggest that the speaker is going to be able to start out on a new slate.
3. The speaker says many times that the lovers should break it off. This is because he is maybe having doubts about never seeing his lover again. When he keeps telling himself he should break it off it reassures him that he is doing the right thing. Also, he says not one jot of former love to remain. He does this once again to reassure himself that he is done with this relationship and that he is not making any mistakes by breaking it off.
4. I would probably not care because by the way the speaker is talking, he wants the relationship to be over. I would just accept the fact that its over and move on.
5. My view of the relationship changes because I no longer feel sorry for the two involved. The way this is written it is obvious there is a lot of tension and it is better off that they do not talk to one another. Representing love as a dying person let me see just how serious these two are about breaking off their relationship. To use death is serious and it proves they were not for each other.
6. The you would be the second half to this relationship. The you is a man because the speaker says "When Faith is kneeling by his bed of death."
7. After reading the real story, I still feel Anne and Michael should not have been together because of the angry words in the sonnet. However, I feel bad for Michael because he never found anyone else. It also says he was crazy for her. I do not understand why he claims to be glad to have been free of her. It;s possible he was not all there in the head and maybe it's a good thing Anne found someelse to spare her misery from Michael.
1. The first two paragraphs remind me of summer because the girl is on the hammock outside. It reminds me of myself because i love summer and I could spend hours just lying around on a hammock. It also mentions that she is more of the dog's protector than the other way around. That does not surprise me because my dog is the biggest wimp. He is actually scared of the cat and will not go outside if it is dark.
2. Paragraphs 3-6 alter the mood because the bear is mentioned. Bear are thought of as scary animals that attack. The mood changes from peaceful and quiet, to suspenseful.
3. My response to her hands lift to cover her breasts is maybe she was molested.
4. I can understand why she does not like bears because her mother burned her favorite bear and then said sorry for burning the animal in you. She might have gotten mad that her mother associated her with a bear and as a result takes her anger out on bears.
5. The bear's smell was rancid and the sex was male. At this point I feel that maybe she was molested at a young age and makes connections with the guy who molested her and the bear.
6. In the seventh section it shows how the bear is honored. However, it says if a woman encounters a bear in the woods, she must lift her skirt and then he will let her pass. It is obvious now that being raped and bears have a connection in this story.
7. The summer days are marked with an X because those were the days that she was raped.
8. It seems that she is getting revenge by killing the bear. She never got revenge on the person who molested her so by killing the bear it symbolizes her kiliing the molestor.
9. Yes, I dont know why she would bother digging him up to take the claw. It seems she would just leave him be and never return.

i thought the answer to question number 5 was interesting that you made a conncection that she could have been molested as a child
I also think the answer to number 5 was interesting. I would have never made that connection that she could have been molested.
