"Traveling Through The Dark"

1. These details suggest symbolic meaning because its comparing the car to a tiger, or some other type of prey animal.
2. The tone of this poem is conflicted because he doesn't know what to do with the body, and he is conflicted about the decision that he is going to have to make.
3. The effect of the last stanza emphasizing the emotion he felt for pushing the pregnant deer over the ravine.
4. This title is appropriate because the story is about traveling through the dark because it was an insight into the narrators life and the life of the dead deer.   
   
   
   Personal Response: This poem is extremely emotional, and really tugs at my heart strings. The poem is extremely vivid and uses many symbolic terms. The story is really vivid when the author is talking about seeing the deer on the road and the emotions that went through his head. When the author realized that the deer was pregnant, the emotion became more vivid.
