Hey there Shreetej, I read this chart and as I look at some of the writing techniques in “Utopia” by Wislawa Syzmborska, I was able to see a lot of the points you bring up about in the analysis and close reading of the poem, but I was wondering if you had explored the repetition that Syzmborska uses to emphasize this idea of the tree. I wanted to challenge you to explore into the deeper complexities that are made in this sense. What does the tree represent rather than just knowledge? Personally, I feel as if the tree is making a biblical allusion to the tree of knowledge in the Garden of Eden. I feel as if that might bring in another level of meaning into the text that you should explore into. Other than that I feel that you did a really good job at delving in to the meanings of the work. Regards, Manny
