Inspite of War

 Exercise

Here are answers based on the analysis of the poem "In Spite of War" by Angela Morgan:


1. **Things that thrive despite the ravages of war:**

   In the poem, nature continues to flourish in spite of the destruction brought by war. Flowers continue to bloom, the earth stays green, and birds keep singing. These natural elements thrive and endure, symbolizing resilience and hope amid devastation.


2. **Words and images conveying the emotion of loss:**

   The poem uses words like "war," "ravage," and "trampled" to convey destruction and loss. These words, combined with imagery such as the trampling of flowers or the desolation implied by the conflict, evoke the sense of despair and sadness brought on by war.


3. **Examples of personification:**

   - **"The singing birds will build their nests":** Here, the birds are personified as resilient beings, continuing to build and sing despite the war, symbolizing hope and life persisting.

   - **"The little flowers will lift their heads":** Flowers are personified as lifting their heads, as though in defiance of war’s destruction. This suggests the endurance of beauty and life even amid turmoil.


4. **Words reflecting the tone of the poem:**

   Words like "in spite of," "lift," "singing," and "green" tell us about the tone. The tone is one of defiance and hope. The phrase "in spite of" indicates that although war is a destructive force, life and nature persist. The words "singing" and "lift" suggest positivity and a sense of moving forward. Even though war causes devastation, the poem conveys a hopeful, resilient tone.


5. **Theme of the poem:**

   The theme of "In Spite of War" is resilience and the enduring power of nature and life. The poem contrasts the destructiveness of war with the natural world’s ability to continue thriving despite human conflicts. It suggests that while war brings devastation, life will always find a way to prevail. The poem emphasizes hope, endurance, and the strength of nature and beauty in the face of adversity.
