Authors note: The requirements of this assigned piece is to respond to the poems Big Yellow Taxi and Field Below and it is required to include both the mood and tone.
Both poems relate to things being taken away that cannot be taken back. The line "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" in the poem Big Yellow Taxi, relates to the fact that the amount of nature is dilapidating due to the burgeoning amount of modern day structures. It also shows that what used to be there was taken for granted, the author didn’t realize just quite how much she liked what was left of nature until it was gone. Field Below states that the author wishes she would see a field below. Meaning that she wishes there was more nature in the city than there currently was. These poems are related because they each give the same overall message. The tone in each poem is both sadness and regret. The mood of the poems is sorrow, sympathy, and sadness. While reading these poems I realized how right everything that is said in them is. Any big city you travel to will have little or no nature at all because there is absolutely no space left due to the amount of buildings in those areas. Both of the poems deliver a strong message.
