Title: “I Won’t Hatch” by Shel Silverstein

Paraphrase: The speaker states “Oh I am a chicken who lives in an egg. And  the speaker said I will not hatch.” They said “"A little less smiley, A little less sure, But a whole lot more like me.”

Attitude: It is shy.

Shift: The shift happens with “So I’m staying in here where it is safe and it is warm.”

Opinion: That poem is shy.

Recommendation: I will recommend this poem to my friends because it is so funny to read.
