Sixth Period: We’re a little behind the other two classes (which is okay), but I want to walk through annotation of a more difficult poem with you: (Untitled) by Emily Dickinson Tell all the truth but tell it slant, Success in circuit lies, Too bright for our infirm delight The truth's superb surprise; As lightning to the children eased With explanation kind, The truth must dazzle gradually Or every man be blind.

WHO ARE YOU? • Write for five minutes without stopping.

Theme for English B (Langston Hughes)

Other Poems… What has defined them? How does each poem get its idea across? “Bike Ride with Older Boys” by Laura Kasichke “Sure” by Arlene Tribbia WITH A PARTNER… for each poem: 1. Annotate 2. Write two-three techniques the author uses to be powerful/effective ▫ “How Many Times” by Marie Howe ▫ “Notice” by Steve Kowit ▫ “Fat Is Not a Fairy Tale” by Jane Yolen

HW: • Read “The Highwayman” by Alfred Noyes (at least twice!!) ▫ Have 5 -10 annotations on this poem. ▫ At the bottom, write 2 -3 sentences explaining your understanding of the poem. • I will be collecting these poems tomorrow to see what your thinking looks like as you read.

Literary Devices • Metaphor: Same thing as a simile, but does NOT use the words “like” or “as. ” ▫ You’re a rose, an absolute rose. �Comparing “you” to a “rose, ” perhaps due to good smells, or delicateness, or elegance, with maybe a side of prickliness. ▫ Though he had a hard life, he knew his life would be clear skies from here on out. �Comparing “life” to “clear skies” implies that life will be easier.

Literary Devices: • Symbolism: when an object represents an idea ▫ The green light for Gatsby �Represents his dream, what he is constantly yearning for. ▫ Mice for Lennie �Represent comfort for Lennie
