When I memorized the poem “Richard Cory” I started to think differently. I thought about why he might have killed himself, and I thought about how the poem relates to my life today. It seems like eveyone including myself feel obligated to do certain things to “fit in”. Most people feel unhappy so they act like they have everything under control, like their life’s are “perfect”. However, when they are alone nobody it their to comfort them, because nobody knows how they truly feel. Due to this they feel like nobody cares about them, which leads to their death.
What I understand from the poem “Dream Within a Dream” is that it seems hard to understand what is a dream and what it real life. It is also really hard to remember what your dream was about even after you just woke up. No matter how had you try to remember it the less you seem to know what you were dreaming about and even the most basic details about it. The author also want to show how he would like to hold on to them for a long period of time so he can remember at least the good things in life, even if that comes from just a dream.
