Assignment due Oct.2 - Poetic Imagery

There are 3 parts to this writing/blog assignment. 300-400 words.

1. This part can be relatively brief. Take note of the images in one of the poems assigned for class on October 2: Frost's "Design", Hemans's "Casabianca", or Rich's "Diving into the Wreck". Are some images more prominent and/or dominant than others? Are some images subtle? Do some images recur within the poem--and if so do they change or stay the same?

2. This part should comprise the bulk of your entry: 2 or more substantial paragraphs. Take part of what you noticed from your image notes in part 1 and use it to formulate an interpretation of the poem. For this assignment, less is more, so try to focus on just one image that recurs, for example, or a very small group of images that relate to each other. As an illustration, if I had assigned this for last class, you could have written about the 3 different images in the separate quatrains of Shakespeare's sonnet.

3. Post 1-3 pictures with your writing. Be creative and have fun with this.
