  1. Abdiel, for such a tough and confusing poem, I think you did an amazing job. To be honest, when I first read the poem, I was confused. I couldn't really comprehend what it was telling me. Then i read your tags and it clearly told me what the poem was saying. I thought it was cool how you were able to make connections with your poem and post Germany in WW1. Overall, i thought that you out a lot of time and effort in your butterfly. I also liked how u did extra research for what you needed to. I liked how you made the man in the middle resemble the person he used to be and the person he is now. You also made everything connect with the piano. Great job! Also nice use of materials.

  2. I agree with Isabela. When I first read this poem I was confused, but after reading your butterfly it made complete sense. You really did do a great job interpreting the poem. I thought it was really creative how you said "If you look closely at the butterfly the strings are being connected to the sexton. In which the person is the working part of the piano." I was confused when you said, "I also painted the butterfly half red and half blue. These colors represent the long history of the piano particularly when people stopped playing the instrument. I mentioned before that the photos give a reason to why the piano wasn’t played in half a century. " This doesn't really clarify for me why the colors were red and blue and how that ties to how the piano wasn't played for a long time. I loved how you explained the sole purpose of Terezin and why it existed, which was a really good idea and I wish I had thought to do that. Overall, you did a really great job and your is beautiful!

  3. For such a convaluted poem I think that you did a great job of interpreting it. It was a little hard for me to understand what it meant before I read the links on your butterfly. The way you made the man in the middle to represent the part of the poem with the sexton was a really good idea, and your explanation for it really helped me understand what the poem was about under all the figurtive language. The way the hand is away from the piano definitely represented the idea that the piano cannot be played anymore. The contrats of the background colors to the pictures really makes the pictures stand out, which was clever. Really well put together butterfly!

  4. Your poem is very artistic, in the musical way. The author, I imagine has lots of love for a piano for the comparison. You incorporated the comparison in your butterfly very well. Your points also explain everything more in depth. It was very thorough. The fact that you added strings and mentioned the author says "veins" instead of "strings" shows you were observant. I also loved how you mentioned that the author has a message for the reader and it was hidden. That was very good interpretation. Amazing work, Abdiel!
