I think the poem "Hiawatha's Childhood" showed meaning, morals, symbolism,
metaphors, and similes all describing the life of Hiawatha and his
ancestors and family like Nokomis and Wenonah. I saw much detail in the
lines where Hiawatha hunted for the deer, and personification was included
too where the animals asked Hiawatha not to shoot them. I didn't find this
part "happy" as you could say it, but it did show meaning and detail.

I think the poem was amazing. I had a rhythm in it, so it kept me keep on
reading. I was amazed at the details of this poem. This poem is like a
biography about him. My favorite part was when Henry went to the forest to
hunt the deer. The poem is really descriptive.

I think that this poem is great! At the beginning, if you don't really
analyze the poem, it's not that great of a poem, but if you start to look
at how Henry Longfellow wrote the poem, you see everything. This poem is
also great because you can see the events happen in your mind. For example,
you can imagine Hiawatha hiding behind a bush and the deer just standing
there, ready to run. This poem is very descriptive at some parts, but
occasionally, there are some parts that mix you up. Overall, I really liked
and enjoyed this poem!

His childhood was like amazing, it shows that how much it went through.
WHen his grandma taught him and just showed him a real life example, that
was very special. He must have been really sorrow when his mom died,
because its hard without a mom.

This poem was amazing. It had a great meaning to it and I think I learned
something from it. It had a great beat. While I read, I felt the beat in me
that was very good. I think this is the best one out of all.

I personally like this poem. It was very detailed in such a create way.
Also, it was really easy for me to read since it was in such short phrases
in each line. Even though it sounds hard, I still can easily understand
this poem like it said on the biography of him. I could imagine this poem
in my head, and it was like a movie playing through my head as I read.
This poem never lets go of you. Once you start reading, you have to keep
on reading. I really liked it when Hiawatha grew by his grandmother's side
since his mother died. Hiawatha learned mostly everything from his
grandmother. I was surprised when I read that he learned the birds'
language as well! I think reading this poem is going to help me on my
future poems that I write.

This poem was very detailed. I like this poem and I think Henry Longfellow
included lots of details so that we could visualize this poem in our head.
My favorite part was when Hiawatha was rewarded and was celebrating. Also,
I thought since this poem was so long that this poem will be boring, but
since there were lots of interesting details, I was putting all my focus on
the story when I was reading. I really enjoyed reading this poem and it
evoked my emotions.

This poem was really detailed and my favorite part was the Henry went to
forest to kill deer. Henry put many details so I can understand and
imagined easily. This poem was really fun and I could see many memories and
it was very interesting poem. Also this poem explains lots about Haiwatha.
This poem wasn't boring so I could focus on only this poem.

This poem was awesome and great poem because the poem had many details how
the character felt or did. I could understand the poem and imagine in my
how the poem is about and what lesson or ideas author want to tell
readers. I could understand how Hiawatha's childhood was and think about
it. The poem had many details on each one of the sentence. The author added
some of strong words too explain.
