Understanding “The Mask on the Masquerade” by Miidong Daloeng

1. The Rhythm of the poem is unhurried and deliberate

2. “No one can ever have it all.” It is a hard truth.

3. The poem reminds me of our faithfulness to what we see other than what is.

4. Miidong employs personification and alliteration.

5. I would have switched the stanzas. I also would have left out “announcement or”

6. This poem is about facts vs fiction.
