This part of the literature is important because it ties the whole poem together by explaining no matter what hope never stops. When she explains this part of literature she explains it by using personification. For example, when she says the Gale is sweet and the storm is sore. “And never stops - at all -” The author is saying that hope is so many things and we always have it inside of us. Hope keeps us going. It’s the best thing we have in the worst situations. Hope is everywhere. It helps us stay alive because knowing that it never stops it’s like a priority to have hope in our lives. When she explains this part of literature she explains it by using imagery.

We have the strength to believe that we can have hope for anything and everything and we never have to stop. One of the reasons we are alive and can stand being on this Earth is because we have hope which gives us strength and courage.
