    Poetry/Novel
  2. Do Now Read this passage: Death. Perhaps no other theme elicits such deep and varied emotions from individuals across the globe. It's no wonder, then, that poets through the ages—no matter the time or place—have sought to address death through poetry. Why would someone choose to express their feelings about death in a poem?
  3. Agenda Do Now Elegy-define, identify, analyze Extended metaphor Novel work in pairs (Discussion Questions/Chart completion)
  4. Definitions Elegy-written in response to the death of a person or group. The elements of a traditional elegy mirror three stages of loss. First, there is a lament, where the speaker expresses grief and sorrow, then praise and admiration of the idealized dead, and finally consolation and solace. These three stages can be seen in W. H. Auden’s classic "In Memory of W. B. Yeats," written for the Irish master, which includes these stanzas: With the farming of a verse Make a vineyard of the curse, Sing of human unsuccess In a rapture of distress; In the deserts of the heart Let the healing fountain start, In the prison of his days Teach the free man how to praise.
  5. Structure of an elegy Quatrains Stanzas Refrains-A stanza, line, part of a line, or phrase, generally pertinent to the central topic, which is repeated verbatim Rhyme Scheme (aabb) Read “To An Athlete Dying Young” How does this form influence the tone of "To An Athlete Dying Young"?
  6. Re-Read: To-day, the road all runners come, Shoulder-high we bring you home, And set you at your threshold down, Townsman of a stiller town. Smart lad, to slip betimes away From fields where glory does not stay, And early though the laurel grows It withers quicker than the rose. What sounds stand out in these lines? What kind of mood do these sounds create? What visual images do these sounds evoke? What is the relationship between sound and the stanza's meaning?
  7. Villanelle by contrast to an elegy, is a rigid form that historically featured more light-hearted and simple themes http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15377 Why do you think Thomas chose this form for "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night"? What repeated phrases and words did you hear and write down? What emotions do you think the poet conveys as he is reading the poem? What did you notice about this poem's form? What are the effects of the repetition on the poem's mood or tone? Why do you think Thomas turned to the villanelle form instead of the traditional elegy? Can you identify stages of loss throughout Thomas' villanelle?
  8. Villanelle Continued The highly structured villanelle is a nineteen-line poem with two repeating rhymes and two refrains. The form is made up of five tercets followed by a quatrain. The first and third lines of the opening tercet are repeated alternately in the last lines of the succeeding stanzas; then in the final stanza, the refrain serves as the poem's two concluding lines. Using capitals for the refrains and lowercase letters for the rhymes, the form could be expressed as: A1 b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 / a b A2 / a b A1 A2.
