Hi Ms.Haydee. It's Geidyliz C. The haiku is about people that are very hungry and they will fight like seagulls fighting over the best fish. This haiku has personification because chopsticks don't fight and it also has a simile because their comparing people and seagulls.
ReplyDeleteHi Miss Haydee. I think that this haiku is about hungry people, there like fighting for the best food there is. This haiku has personification because chopsticks can't fight and a simile, because it says that there fighting like seagulls

DeleteThe poem is about people who were really hungry and that they were fighting over the best piece of fish. They probably didn't have many food or they wanted the very best piece of fish. This poem is a haiku. This haiku has personification and also a simile.

ReplyDeleteHello teacher this is Liselie. I think that this poem is about two chopsticks that are fighting for the best thing they can have. I think that this chopsticks have something in common with humans. Were always trying to have the best things and be the best at everything. Sometimes we should let the other person have it and be selfless because maybe we can have the next one. I think it has personification and similes.
ReplyDeleteWhat I think about the Haiku is that those people are fighting about the best thing in the table. I also think this talks about poor people fighting for the last piece of food. I saw a personification that the people were like seagulls.

Is a comparison of how difficul can be to obtain the best piece of food ,in this case the fish.It has simile because, it compare the sea gulls with the chopsticks. And personification because chopsticks can`t fight.
