00:39

mood of the poem To get a sense of it

00:43

We need to have a good overall feeling for the

00:44

poem If none of the answers immediately jump out at

00:47

us well it might be helpful to quickly re read

00:49

the palm with all these options in mind and alright

00:52

let's check out choice Be well there's Some sense of

00:55

loss in the poem You know old john and the

00:57

grey haired gang are sitting around reminiscing about their lost

01:00

youth And boy we know that feeling They're laughing though

01:03

so they must not be too torn up about it

to be on the green and it's never talked about

01:15

like it's a gift so the word gratefulness doesn't seem

01:18

to fit choiceseat doesn't work either Sure the speaker does

01:21

seem to be all about the green but the words

01:23

awe and amazement suggests that he almost warships it The

01:27

speaker isn't trying to recruit us into a green worshiping

01:30

culture Anything so we'll just pass on see oh a

01:33

green worshipping calls the might be right up our alley

01:36

All right well we would probably make a case for

01:38

choice De the speaker definitely admires the green and there

01:41

is some sense of longing when old john gets nostalgic

01:45

in the end though a is the best answer enjoyment

01:53

is better used when describing a feeling of respect for

01:55

01:59

it a safer bet and longing It was close but

02:02

we're going to go with answer eh this time around
