4/22/14- Group Poetry Analysis

I can determine why authors use the poetic devices they do and what those devices add to the poem.

Don't let the I can statement overwhelm you. today we worked in groups of 4 to read and analyze one poem. If you were absent then you will need to do the poem on your own. I will, however, be happy to help you during FLEX.

Read the poem below and fill in the following worksheet.








Minor Bird 
by Robert Frost

I have wished a bird would fly away,
   And not sing by my house all day;

   Have clapped my hands at him from the door
 When it seemed as if I could bear no more.
     The fault must partly have been in me.
   The bird was not to blame for his key.
   And of course there must be something wrong
   In wanting to silence any song.
