Toads reminds me of the “Bee Movie.” ­­“We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life.” Toads questions the reason we work and live:  do we work to live or live to work. The imagery of the poem revolves around a toad, but really, the theme of the poem is a pursuit of happiness. The narrator is unhappy with their awful job and envies those who can live without working. But those people don’t have shoes for their kids and little food, but no one really starves. It doesn’t kill you. But there is something that keeps people from reaching their desired achievements. The narrator comes to the realization that the toad is in him also, and he knows that in order to live, he needs to work, whether he enjoys it or not.Toads reminds me of the “Bee Movie.” ­­“We know that you, as a bee, have worked your whole life to get to the point where you can work for your whole life.” Toads questions the reason we work and live:  do we work to live or live to work.
