1.Read with a Purpose
The rent man and Madam seem to disagree throughout the poem. Yet, the last line is "So we agrees!"
Why is that?

-- I think this is because in the end, they are both dissatisfied, or not pleased, so they can agree about that.

2. Infer
What do you think is the message of "Madam and the Rent Man"?

-- I think the message in "Madam and the Rent Man" is either one of the following:

1- Stand up for yourself when something is unfair, like the Madam, she described why she shouldn't be paying the rent, and how bad the current state of the apartment is.

2- You can still find something that you are able to agree on, even if many things that you disagree with.

3. Analyze
How does the author's use of playful language and dialogue affect the tone of "Madam and the Rent Man"?

-- The author's use of playful language and dialogue makes the poem more easy to imagine, like how the author uses descriptive words while creating an angry, frustrating tone by using different words that gives the sense that the situation is more negative than positive.
