I can relate to this poem because it reminds me of when I went to my step-great grandfather's funeral. I remember walking through the cemetery not believing that there were so many dead people under my feet. The phrase that helps me imagine this scene was when the poem quotes " We thought no one was lying there under our feet, we though it was a joke.” Being in that type of situation is a bit confusing to a child’s mind and the imagery children use helps a lot. Imagery helps the reader too by letting them understand all the characters senses and it helps them relate to a time they experienced.
You know what JOJO fantastic job.
