Shel Silverstein -If the World Was Crazy-

1) What emotions/feelings do you have after reading the poem?

Joy, desire to live and experience all you can in life. Taste, laugh, smile, scream, eat, cry are feelings you need to experience before dying.

2) How does your chosen image reflect the emotions conjured by the poem? The poem talks about a crazy world, where you can do all what you want, and for me a roller coaster is a way to feel a lot of emotions mixed together. You can feel emotion, anxiety, you can also laugh, scream and experience seconds of death. When you ride a roller coaster you are actually tracking a path in several minutes, and this is what I feel while reading the poem. Is like is the author is giving us several minutes to enjoy life because death is coming.
