Annotate Quote Paragraph from The Goose Poem –

Classwork 1/12/22 & 1/13/22

 

Similarly, in the poem “The Goose Story” by Henry Clarke Noyes, he tells us about the ways in which geese fly and behave so that they not only are efficient flyers but that they support each other. At this point, I couldn’t believe I had to leave this four-year college I dreamt of going to, but I hadn’t told my parents the whole truth so they wanted me home.  I felt very lonely back in San Jose, as I had to leave everyone I just met, but the worst part was leaving the best friend I ever had. She couldn’t go back with me, or just like the geese in Noyes’ poem, “stay with the fallen goose until it [was] able to fly, or until/ it dies” (112). In this case, I was the fallen goose, the wounded one who needed support.  Instead of literally remaining with me she called, texted, checked up on me almost everyday since we were now three hours apart.  She sent snaps from our apartment, or favorite places, and in these ways she “stayed” by me, ensuring that I didn’t feel so alone, which made this difficult time more manageable.
