  1. Pattern Poetry Objectives: To examine the poems within the poetic elements of: Irony Tone Shifts Symbolism To explore the relationship between the structure and meaning of a poem. To draw conclusions about the ways a writer's choices play a role in writing.

  2. Poetic Irony--As a figure of speech, irony refers to a difference between the way something appears and what is actually true.  Tone--The tone of a poem is roughly equivalent to the mood it creates in the reader.  Symbolism--A symbol works two ways: It is something itself, and it also suggests something deeper.  Some symbols have widespread, commonly accepted values that most readers should recognize: Apple pie suggests innocence or homespun values; ravens signify death, etc. http://bcs.bedfordstmartins.com/virtualit/poetry/irony_def.html

  3. How does form influence content? How is the word choice ironic in the 5th and 15th lines? Between “most” and “poor” Is there a shift in tone after the 5th and 15th lines (climatic lines)? What is it? How does the lark, and bird in general, diction/word choice advance the poem’s content?

  5. The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
