Losing a Language

I thought the poem losing a language was very interesting. It describes how are language is changning generation from generation. This relates to our lives today because our language is changing.
There were many interesting lines in the poem. The line "many of the things the words were about no longer exist" is true. This describes how words back in the day changed over time and mean something different know. There are many words that are like that today and if you are talking to an old person they will not know what you are talking about.
Another interesting line i found was "the children will not repeat the phrases their parents speak." This line is true as well. Kids do not want to talk like their parents because when they get older they do not want to be with them as much as they use to. Teens no longer want to be associated with their parents at a certain point of their lives.
The author wrote this poem to express how time is changing. The tone of the poem is almost hopeless and lost. Our language is becoming lost because of all the new words we use.
