Mood/tone of overall poem and interpretation:

•Mood: Calm, Crazy, Chaotic, Awkward•Overall Interpretation: This poem by

William Carlos William shows the poverty in this wedding, but at the same time it shows that one of the family's could be from a higher class because it shows that the mayor is at the wedding. By the bride being quite and still it shows that maybe she was forced into the marriage and she is unhappy.

End activity: Class disscusion

Why do you think that the bride and groom are so far from eachother? Do you think it is a sign of an arranged marriage or could it be that the bride was forced in an awkward situation?

Page 23: A Peasants Wedding

Conclusion•William Carlos Williams shows

poverty by showing the different types of actions happening in the poem for example the door being used as a table and also the fact that this could be an arranged marriage because he uses the tone of the poem to portray the brides unhappiness.
