NOTEBOOK Entries for Week #11
Write in response to the following prompts about the elements of poetry. Save your responses on a WORD DOC or PDF, and submit them to me no later than 11:59 pm on Friday (11/6).
1. Like Troy Maxson, Emily Dickinson personifies death. What sort of character is Death in her poem? Describe their relationship–how Death treats her and how she responds. How does the tone of her voice, the feelings she expresses, change as she rides on her journey with Death? Kenyon pictures death more routinely in images of the end of the day. How would you compare her voice with Dickinson’s?
2. Frost begins “Mending Wall” by saying, “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall” (l. 1). Why does the speaker in the poem question the value of walls? How does his attitude compare with that of his neighbor? What different meanings does the image of the wall seem to represent for each of them? What might the image of the wall symbolize to a reader of the poem?
3. “Ladders” is a prose poem, which our textbook defines as a “poem printed as prose” (1432). There are no line breaks. It is written in sentences bound together in a sort of paragraph. Is it poetic, in your view? Why or why not? How does Garcia’s tone of voice compare with that of Frost? Does the image of a wall seem to hold similar or different meanings in “Ladders”? Why might some people “want to destroy all the ladders,” while “Others want to destroy all the walls”? Write about what these images might symbolize in the poem.
