please correct it for me,thank you Bad Day Kay Ryan (A review about Bad Day) Because of the title of the poem was ‘’Bad Day”, I thought the poem was going to be a little bit gloomy and somber and it would talk about a man who failed to do something that he was yearn for, such as pass a crucial exam or be accepted by the girl he loved .So it was called “Bad Day”. What’s more, the whole poem was short at a glance, so I believe that it was a poem easy to understand. When I read a few lines, I found that I was totally wrong. It was not about any man, but an elfin tailor. I would like to know what was going on and why not every day was a good day for the elfin tailor. What day was bad day? To my surprise, bad days were the days that he had neither the idea nor the material to make clothes. From the words, I thought the elfin tailor was very fond of his work, namely he was enjoying what he did as a job or a hobby. What’s more, he not only had a goal but also loved his life .In a word, I thought the poet wanted to convey that the elfin tailor was vigorous and passionate about his life, rather than told us how the elfin tailor had a bad day. The way that the poet wrote this poem was very attractive and interesting. The poet used a hand of prepositions and conjunctions at the first position of lines to emphasize the emotion and the object. The first three lines told us a massage, ”not every day is a good day for the elfin tailor”. But the poet used three lines and it clearly emphasized that not every day was a good day and it was for the elfin tailor, not for other person. What’s more, every line had different length. From line1 to line16 were more flowing, implying that the elfin tailor was in a good mood when he making clothes. Since line 17(But some days), the length were similar, hinting that the elfin tailor felt boring due to no ideas and material. In conclusion, I thought it was an easy to understand but powerful poem. It reveals that it is a wonderful thing for us to do what you like and find out the happiness of the life. What’s more, the logic of the poem was very legible and the words were pretty simple. Such as it divided into three parts, some days what the elfin tailor did, and some days what the elfin tailor did. But some days what the elfin tailor did.
