Why do poets not just state explicitly the message of a work?
there aren't enough words in a poem
reader involvement adds impact in a way that stating a message couldn't accomplish
because poets like to think of poems as little treasure maps
they sometimes don't know the message so they leave it up to the reader
TONE in literature refers to:
how something sounds
the attitude of the writer or voice
the color of something
how the reader feels
A poem's main theme might be difficult to figure out because:
Authors rarely want the reader to figure it out
It has little to do with plot, characters, and other story elements
Only complicated, adult stories have themes
It is rarely stated explicitly
