  3. How to Read a Poem: • First, you should mark it up; write in the margins; react to it; get involved with it. • Circle important, or striking, or repeated words. Draw lines to connect related ideas. Mark difficult or confusing words, lines, and passages. • Please do that now.

  6. Identify the subject • What is your initial impression of the poem's subject? Try writing out an answer to the question, "What is this poem about?"--and then return to this question throughout your analysis. Do this at the bottom of your paper.

  7. Examine Closely • Now we are going to look at some lines of the poem and examine it for use of figurative language. What might the author literally be saying? Why might he be implying? • Look at Lines 8 & 9 • Look at lines 13 & 14
