This poem reminded me so much of mr Moore!!! He always got so excited about new words!!!!! Although I get really frustrated when I'm reading and come across a word I don't know and i have to look it up, I really do agree it's a great thing! I'm just lazy ;) as heather and Julia told us in class during their poem presentation, zoanthropy is the delusional idea that a human has transformed into an animal. Now, I'm not really sure when I would use this word... I don't generally talk about being an animal and I don't know anyone who thinks they are an animal..... Soooo maybe I don't have much use for this word?? But regardless, it's an interesting little fact to know! I think the theme of this poem is to take initiative to educate yourself and learn new things about the world around you! The tone was cheerful and reverent of the importance of words. Personification was also used in this poem to create emotions and characteristics in words!
Ps.. I typed this on your iPad in class, sorry for any typos ;)
It is very Mr. Moore like! :) It's hard to type on the ipad because it auto corrects and then you get some weird words. She does a nice job giving these words personality. It's a fun poem.
