3-D "Why?"

Directions:
1. Read a poem, “Why?”.

WHY?
by A.T. Veloro
There are things I can’t explain,
Things that puzzle the mind,
Questions for which I need
Satisfactory answers to find.
Why the dew on the grass?
Why do flowers die?
Why death of beauteous things?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Why the night, why the day?
Why the lightning’s blinding flash?
Why, the wind’s mighty roar?
Why, the thunder’s deafening crash?
Why do eyes open and close?
Why can’t they keep open?
And shy do they open when I want
Them shut tight in sleep?
Why these things I can’t explain;
But here I am where destiny brings;
My books I read by night and day,
Soon to learn the whys of things.


2. Answer the questions to help general understanding of the text.

a.   Which lines give the general idea of the poem?
b.   Where do you find answers to these questions?







3. Enumerate other questions that you find puzzling.
4. where can you find answers to them?
5. Indicate your sources of information.
