Jacques Prévert: Chanson pour les enfants l’hiver

Par Allen De Los Santos.

 

Je choisis le poème “Chanson pour les enfants l’hiver” de Jacques Prévert.   C'est d'un bonhomme de neige, et pour se réchauffer il s'assoit sur le poêle rouge et après il disparaît.

 

Jacques Prévert est un poète français. Il a écrit beaucoup de poèmes pour la France et ça le rend  populaire.  Mon poème préféré de Jacques Prévert c’est “Chanson pour les enfants l’hiver” parce que c’est pour les enfants et la chanson est très bonne. Aussi, une autre raison pour laquelle j’aime la chanson pour les enfants l’hiver c’est parce que nous avons chanté ce poème dans la classe de français.

 

En conclusion, c’est la raison pourquoi cet essai peux vous aider à comprendre en plus l’importance de Jacques Prévert et “Chanson pour les enfants l'hiver” pour moi.

Jacques Prévert: Song for Children in Winter

By Allen De Los Santos.

 

I chose the poem “Song for Children in Winter” by Jacques Prévert. It’s about a snowman, and to warm himself up, he sits on the red stove, and then he disappears.

 

Jacques Prévert is a French poet. He wrote many poems for France, which made him popular. My favorite poem by Jacques Prévert is “Song for Children in Winter” because it’s for children, and the song is very good. Also, another reason why I like “Song for Children in Winter” is because we sang this poem in French class.

 

In conclusion, this is why this essay can help you better understand the importance of Jacques Prévert and “Song for Children in Winter” for me.
