Title: Title tells us "not to forget" something; probably something meaningful.
a
Paraphrase: Never forget about this: When you were living a weary life, going&suffering through so many obstacles, you have never lost your faith. So why lose it now?
a
Connotation: Red: rhyme scheme: It shows how the poem flows naturally with all the patterns of rhyme; it allows the poem to be more of a song-like, Green: repetition: By doing this, author can be clear about what he/she wanted to say and what the main idea of the poem is. Sometimes the word repeated is the theme of the poem, or at times, the most important word throughout the poem, Purple: symbol for agony: By using the symbol, author can hide the meaning of the other word, such as the theme. Allowing the reader to figure out the hidden meaning, it adds joy to the reader, Blue: allteration: Alliteration makes the poem fun to read out loud by giving the same sounds; it is the same in this poem, too.
a
Attitude: A little preachy but it is still respectful. The author is trying to say something that is in his/her mind.
a
Shifts: Orange: shift: Before, the author was telling what the person had gone through and what the person had suffered; after the shift, the author tells her what she had done well in the past and that she should do the same thing today.
a
Title: I think the title of this poem is well-chosen, clearly revealing what is trying to say.
a
Theme: Never forget precious things/experiences that you have learned (from) from the past.
