Which line from the poem “wave” best develops its tone? wavemy child (line 1) born to me by water (line 2) and by water (line 3) swept away. (line 4)

The tone of a poem is the attitude you feel in it, the writer's attitude toward the subject or audience. In this case, this is a sad poem, so the line that best develops its tone would be Line 4, where specifically indicates the boy is no longer anymore.

The mothers advice was great because she allowed him to know that she cared and felt for him, but didnt let him dwell and feel bad for himself. An adult in my life has told me that even in the midst of sorrow and anger, you must always keep your head up. A metaphor I could tell a friend would be to: "Stand tall like a sunflower, even through the darkness."
