This poem was very long, but also very intresting. It felt as if I was
there and seeing what was happening. It was very superb! I could imagine
everything very well. I think that this poem is trying to say that Hiawatha
is trying to get different things from different trees to build a boat and
sail. Because he is getting tree branches and bark from trees to build a
boat. And also, the poem sounded cherful to me, and had a constant rhythm.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem is reallly good and it feels like I am
watching him really making the canoe to sail with his many detailed
informations. It was upbeat, too. I see the Content Imperative,
convergence because he uses the type of trees to make the canoe. I loved
this poem because it was about a person making the canoe to travel.

I think that this poem was a really good poem. It was excellent! I could
imagine myself there, with Hiawatha. It was as if I could see everything
he did because it was so detailed in described. The poem sounded up-beat
to me, and had a constant rhythem. Some parts sounded like it rhymed, but
others didn't. By reading the poem, it made me realized that nature has
been so kind to us human beings because we take so much of them. Whenever
Hiawatha would ask for something to help make his canoe, nature would give
it to him. I could most definitly see the content imperative, convergence
in the story because all of the things taken from trees and nature made one
canoe. It all came together at the end.

This poem was good and he used many repitition words. Then he would explain
like how they bird should like go on the birch. Then this shows like
someone is watching this in real person.

I extreamly enjoied this poem. It was very detailed and upbeat. It let you
see what was going on. But it also had you use your imagination, such as
when Hiawatha asked the trees for their bark and branches, and they let him
take it. Now that I stop to think about it, I see that there is a content
imperative in it, convergence. All of the trees and the porcupine come
together to allow Hiawatha to build the boat. All around, I think it was a
good read, and I would like to read some more poems like it.

I absolutely love the way Longfellow used personification so that the trees
could talk with Hiawatha. The tone influenced me greatly!

I think that this poem had a great flow and that it was interesting to
read. Although I did not understand some parts, I enjoyed this poem because
it was fun to read about a man building a canoe or something like that :-D
