HUG O’WAR Shel Silverstein

Paraphrase

 I don’t want war to happen. I’d rather want peace and love in the world.

 Attitude

I feel mindful and caring because I also want peace and love in the world. The feeling of the poem is peace and care.

Shift 

I think the shift is when he says “And everyone wins,” because I think jealousy is a big part of war so I think it’s trying to say when there is peace, love, and happiness there is no jealousy because everyone wins.

Opinion 

I love this poem because I want peace and love on the earth. This poem reminds me of the quote: “Treat others how you want to be treated.” This poem means a lot to me, and might even be my favorite.

 Recommendation

Yes I would obviously recommend this to my friend! It is such a nice poem.
