How do we compare and contrast two poems?
Read Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken" and Nikki Giovanni's poem, "Choices." These poets are of two different cultural backgrounds and two different generations, but the theme is universal - making choices.
How are the two poems different? What imagery do the poets use? Imagery is the mental picture or sound you imagine while reading the poem. A poet chooses certain words and techniques to create imagery. What technique does each poet use?
What is the mood of each poem? Mood refers to the poet's attitude towards the subject and theme. It is how the poet sounds - angry, calm, sad.
What is the purpose of each poem? What is the reason why the poet wrote the poem? A poet may write a poem purely for enjoyment while others have a deeper purpose.
Your answers to these questions should be put on Google Docs and then blogged. See me if you need assistance.
