Analysis and comments on The Son Of The Evening Star by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Comment 2 of 2, added on April 17th, 2009 at 4:19 AM.

This poem is so well written because not only is it interesting it has a
meaning behind it. The meaning was that if you do good deeds, good deeds
will come to you. For example, the God gave the man a son for having such a
good heart. I think the tone of the story was serious because the God was
serious when he talked and the man was serious when he was talking to
others not playfully and sarcastic.

This poem was very well written because not only is it interesting it has a
meaning behind it and I think that the meaning was that if you do good
things good things will come to you. The God awarded the man by punishing
those who mocked him and giving him a son. I think that the tone of the
story is serious because the God is serious the man is serious and so
forth.
