Today is the last day to turn in any late material for half credit or make up the test on "The Highwayman" and "Annabel Lee"

In class: day 2 on imagery. (class handout/ copy below)

Bonus: After the short written response, write out the 5 sense images with their formal labels (5 points each)

  Name______________________________________ Imagery   Friday, January 18

With a partner, if you so choose, read the following poem a minimum of three times.

As for the grass, it grew as scant as hair          

       In leprosy;*  thin dry blades pricked the mud                                                             * a wasting disease   

       Which underneath looked kneaded up with blood

One stiff blind horse, his every bone a-stare,

        Thrust out past service from the devil’s stud!

Robert Browning, "Child Roland to the Dark Tower Came"

With your partner, or independently, write a response as to what feelings are produced by the image

Of the grass in lines 1-3? Make sure to have a complete sentence with text woven in.
