Find specific examples of abstract and concrete language. What are the effects?
The questions in the poem like 'Who made the world?' and 'what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?' are some abstract ideas that the author cannot answer nor can anyone else as a matter of fact. Some of the concrete ideas is the description of the grasshopper in the poem and the description of the ritual of praying. The details of the description make the poem more impactive because she segments a simple thing into a vivid visual image. Also, the use of such descriptions builds to a greater abstract idea of what one should do with their life.
