Dear mom,
I am sorry that I gave more importance to my dream place “Eldorado” but I really want to get there and fulfill my dream. I don’t know if I will be able to come back home or not but take care of yourself. Though, it may take whole life to get over there I will try to be there anyhow. I would really be happy to get there but if it is not possible then I don’t have any other choice. Still, I would like to say that I won’t give up.

ReplyDelete-1.I think it's about the knight's dreamland.After further thinking,I think the knight is looking for some special spirits.There are happiness and success.Because the knight uses his the whole life to search it.
-2.The poem makes me feel very deeply.Because when I read it first time, I feel it'S an interesting phony story.But after thinking,I think it have another deep understanding.So I think it's about research for some spirits.
-3.My "Eldorado" is a lifestyle I want.In fact , my life is always busy and tired.What I want is a careless,relaxing lifestyle under zore pressure.
-4.Dear Monder :
I am really sorry that I have never returned home so many years ago.

1. The title of the poem is "Eldorado". What do you think it's about and why?
I think that this poem is about a man that is dreaming about this place called “Eldorado” I guess that this is a special place for him.
2. Write down how this poem makes you feel and why. What do you think it's about now?
Well this poem makes me feel happy because it remains me that I have a special place where I can go too but it is difficult to find or to get there because it is just a fantasy, but I also like the way in how the author expresses his idea his desire to find that place that doesn’t really exist. I think that this poem is about a knight that began a journal to a place called “Eldorado” but even he treats his best to find it, he is not going to find it because that place is not real.
3. Eldorado represents a mythical place that doesn't really exist. The knight is trying to get there and doesn't succeed. What is your "Eldorado", in other words, what is a difficult goal you are struggling to achieve?
