Does reading the poem aloud held the reader to understand it?

For this discussion, we will be using literary elements to analyze poetry. You should review all Lecture Materials provided on the Week in Review page prior to completing the assignment. Select one of the assigned poems for your discussion board post. Consider the following questions to better understand the use of literary elements within the poems:
Who is the speaker? What are you able to determine regarding the speaker’s age, sex, sensibilities, level of awareness, and values? Is the speaker addressing anyone in particular?
How does the reader respond to the speaker? Favorably? Negatively? What is the situation? Are there any special circumstances that inform what the speaker says?
Does reading the poem aloud held the reader to understand it?
Does a paraphrase reveal the basic purpose of the poem?
What does the title emphasize?
Is the theme presented directly or indirectly?
Do any allusions enrich the poem’s meaning?
