  16. “Mask” by Carl Sandburg • FLING your red scarf faster and faster, dancer.It is summer and the sun loves a million green leaves,     masses of green.Your red scarf flashes across them calling and a-calling.The silk and flare of it is a great soprano leading a     chorusCarried along in a rouse of voices reaching for the heart     of the world.Your toes are singing to meet the song of your arms: Let the red scarf go swifter.Summer and the sun command you.

  17. Poetry and Pop Culture • Watch the following commercial. Answer in your packet: • Why do you think this poem has to do with exercise and the Nike brand? • What effect does it have on the viewer (you)?
