Understand the idea

Read a poem twice. Notice what happens, how the speaker feels and which words create a picture. Support an interpretation with evidence.

කවිය දෙවරක් කියවා හැඟීම් සහ රූප මවන වචන සොයන්න. අදහසට කවියෙන් සාක්ෂි දෙන්න.

Example: The sun smiled is personification because the sun is given a human action.
