Respond to Richard Cory
My respond to Richard Cory is that the poem is trying to send a message because in the poem everybody thinks of Richard Cory as a happy person. But in reality he most likely had problems that provoked him to commit suicide. No one knew what he was hiding inside but everybody thought he was a happy man but that wasn't true most likely. This poem's mesage sounds a lot like a quote I heard on Instagram because the quote was "Be kind. Everybody is fighting a battle you don't know about." So that's what I believe is the message to this story.
