IN the poems that we had to read the one thing that stuck out to me
that he talks about is loneliness. The fact that the people int he
story are lonely in some fact of not having someone at all or having
it and then losing them. The poem that stuck out the most is the poem
about the guy that killed himself. I think that is true in some facts
of life because when you have everything you actually focus your life
on more of what you really don't have. The total opposite to a person
that doesn't have much at all they realize that they dont have much
and they look at all the stuff they truely have. I liked some of these
peoms but then some were a little strange and hard to comprehend. -

The common thing that these poems have is in every poem someone is
alone/ lonely, in the poem Richard Cory the guy has everything and
everybody wants to be just like him, but at the end he ends up killing
himself. In another poem Mr. Flood's Party the guy is a hermit he is
stuck in the pass, he is thinking/ missing his friends, he his no one
to talk to.

These poems tie together in that everyone is alone or thinks their
alone. Richard cory has everything going for him and everyone wants to
be like him but he eventually kills himself at the end.

The poems where about the different sides of people. Some people are
lonely because they dont always get what they want. In one of the
poems, the man dies because of this reason. Many people dont take what
the have for granted and others suffer from the opposite reasons.

in these poems the thing that obvoiusly stuck out, was
that he talked about people being alone..
in richard cory the guy had the perfect life it seemed,
people liked him, wanted to be like him, but
for some reason in the end he killed himself...
which was kinda weird because he usually talks about
people being lonely, but this guy has people wanting to
be like him.. i guess he didn't realize what he had..

being lonely is what ties these poems together and the one that sticks
out to me is the one about the guy who has everything but feels he has
nothing and ends up killing himself.

these poems to me sounded like the people were really lonely. i think
this was a lot of sad people who lost something some time. But over
all i didn't like these poems, i need something that will get my
attetion. The poems here draw me away from reading. I didn't have any
connections when i read, that might me be the biggest reason.

Robinson's poems all talk about someone and focus' on that someone. It
talks about who that person is and what kind of personality that
person has. Richard Cory stands our because it may be just like the
other poems but its more today related of people in todays society.
