Once I Pass'd Through a Populous City
He begins by explaining that he is visiting this city to observe and learn about the place and its culture. In the first line he mentions that there will be "future use" for the information that he is trying to gain but, he does not mention what that use would be. While he is in this city he meets someone that he begins to start falling for. He says that she ends up being the only thing he remembers about the city. Eventhough his purpose was to learn about the city, he does not. He is very happy to have met this person. He obviously does not live around there so he has to leave her. Line five leads the reader to assume that he has come back to visit her a few times. In the last line it shows how sad she is to see him go by describing the look on her face. She seemed to really care about him. The woman did not like the fact that he was going to be leaving her again. She just wishes that he would stay so that they would not have to be so far apart. He came to the city prepared to learn about normal things such as the culture, shows, architecture, customs, and traditions, but instead he learned how it feels to be in love.

I am glad that Ms Bailey pointed out how the narrator went to a city for one purpose but ended up finding love. Does love come before anything? Because he was trying to find out things that may be useful in the future but ended up finding love and that was the only thing that he was able to remember love. Maybe that was a good thing to only remember love, so that could show people in the future that love still exists and by him just remembering love should give future people hope where it was lost, it being love. It seems like the author was just pointing out how love can be found in many places even if it was not intended to be that way. (Aauzsa Mack)
ReplyDeletelove can be found anywhere on the planet because no one never knows when they run into or walk by the man or woman of there dreams. I believe that man found love because he wasn't intending to look for a woman. He had his mind set on accomplishing other things and in doing so, he found one the best things in never knew he needed.
