Analysis and comments on Hiawatha's Fishing by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Comment 7 of 7, added on May 24th, 2007 at 12:22 AM.

At first, this poem sounded very relaxing and peaceful. I think that
Hiawatha is very picky on which fish he fishes because in this poem he kept
on looking for the "king of fishes." While he was fishing, I thought it was
very funny when he is with a squirrel. It was also quite odd when he let
birds eat it up. The poem was very detailed and it felt like I was actually
there!

I think this poem is very good. I thought like that because there are lots
of things. Like end rhyme, internal rhyme, and repetition. They
repeat,"esa","Take my bait",and "Hiawatha". Also, there are lots of
character such as fishes, which has a nick name. They are all creative and
detailed. Mist of all, I love fishing! That's why it attracted me to read
this poem.

I think this poem is very good. I thought like that because there are lots
of things we learned in school. Like end rhyme, internal rhyme, and
repetition. They repeat, "esa", "Take my bait", and "Hiawatha". Also, there
are lots of character such as fishes, which has a nickname. They are all
creative and detailed. Most of all, I love fishing! That's why it attracted
me to read this poem.

Sailing in Hiawatha nust be a dream, for going down a pleasant river is
almost like having a vacation right beside heaven.
