Jennifer Y: I like your point about the rhythm starting with "S". It was something that I didn't pay much attention to. But after reading your analysis, I think it really makes sense and contributes a lot in the poem as well. By putting words that starts with "S", the author creates an eerie atmosphere. When I was reading the poem, I actually focused on the last parts where the words rhymed with similar soundings like "-ones" and "-ades". I also think those words create a particular atmosphere that the author wants to make. In the beginning, it creates a repetitious rhythm, making the "reapers" seem like men working in fields. In the second stanza, the rhyming words make the mower seem brutal and indifferent in killing lives.
