A. I personally have a connection to this author because my uncle had his house burned down. He was so frustrated because he did not know where to start. He personally felt that he should maybe move away. He was not too happy with the electrician because it was an electrical fire. When he got back to his feet, he was devastated that he lost a lot of his prized possessions; pictures, and his decorations around the house.
C. What I personally don’t understand is she saying that it is God’s business that the house burned down and not hers (17)? Also, is she talking about how God handles everything and that people should not worry about what bad things happen, because He is going to handle it one way or another (47-48)? Is she even frustrated and disappointed that the building burned down (17-19)? It sounds to me that she is giving everything to God and that she does not even care about the building. What I also don’t understand is, why does she say “a price so vast as is unknown” (49)? Even though it was confusing, I liked the poem.
D. What I personally liked about this poem, is throughout the whole poem it seemed really real. It seemed that the person who had the house burned down actually believed in God so much, that the person believed that God would take of that. I like that a lot because it shows me that it is possible that God maybe the One who is supposed to handle everything and not me. This makes me relax simply because I have (in the past) been worried about what I have been doing and why other people may be hurting my feelings, and now I know that God is the whole that is going to handle it and not me.
