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

Comment 6 of 6, added on April 16th, 2009 at 11:40 PM.

I think this poem was the best written poem from all the other Hiawatha\'s
poets because it really grabbed my attention by the repeating lines and the
tone. The tone was a very friendly and a deep tone. I liked the poem
because Chibiabos and Kwasind were two friends with a very different
characteristic. Chibiabos was a musician and he was very smart (in the
knowledge of music). However, Kwasind was only strong; he was quiet,
listless, and dreamy. It was hard for me to believe that two very different
people got along well with each other and became great friends. I also
liked the tone because most of the story was said in a very friendly and a
relaxed tone.

I think that this poem is a great poem for friends. It tells you that
friendship shouldn't be so easily broken up, and that friendship should
last for a lifetime. This poem tells you that friendship is like gold, you
don't want to lose it, but some people do because they are careless. This
poem taught me that friendship is one of the most important things in life,
so don't let go of it. The two friends in Hiawatha had a different
friendship than others, but their friendship became stronger and stronger
at the end of the poem because of all the ups and downs they faced. This
poem really touched my heart because friendship is really important to me,
and this poem explained basically everything about true friendship.

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.
