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

Comment 3 of 3, added on March 31st, 2008 at 9:21 PM.

I think that this poem was tastefully written so that people these days can
relate to friendship. Like the two valued friends that Hiawatha had,
friendships should not be so easily broken but kept. These two friends of
Hiawatha stood out from all the others and did not fall in the traps of
utter falsehoods. Although there often may be differences and conflicts
between friends, you need to learn to adjust. This poem appealed to me in a
sincere way and evoked my emotions.

I think this is a very well written poem and it described the friends
really well. I could never see someone writing so lond on the same subject
and still keep a reader wanting more at the end. So good job on your poem

AS AN UPCOMING POET AND FAN OF WADSWORTH,I THINK HE IS THE POETICAL ANSWER
TO SHAKESPEAR.
