I got difficulties with the word "coopt"... i know what it means but in combination with love it seems to be a false declination... can't really figure out what it should mean in this case. --[[User:Karsten Woll|Karsten Woll]] 08:57, 26 April 2008 (CEST)

Test

I won't be able to come in next time. Cheers. Corinna Brinkmann 12:36, 9 April 2008 (CEST)

Assignment 1, Question 3

Are we supposed to interpret the metre and rhyme scheme with regard to the content or shall we only name these? Alena Ruether

"Comment on" is a bit more than just "name" yet less then "write a full blown interpretation". --Olaf Simons 15:09, 24 April 2008 (CEST)

Another Question

But how much more, do we have to do?

I am right now working with the poem and I have some problems with the word 'comment' and 'identify'! Does 'identify' mean we are just supposed to declare which sections or addressee we have found out? And does 'comment' mean we shall find out the metre and rhyme scheme and afterwards say what is special about it? Or shall we also say what influence differences in metre or something else have on the poem?

I am a little scared to hand in my assignment, because it seems to me that I don't know how to begin!

A couple of links: Survive Assignments gives you some general remarks. This is the last year's assignment: BM1 - Introduction to Literature - Assignment 1 - and if you take a look at its discussion page you will even find a discussion of the solutions we then received. Yet the best preparation was to be found in our courses where we asked such questions and where we gave you opportunities to test model solutions. All you have to do is think of which answers of your fellow students you found elucidating... best, --Olaf Simons 18:51, 25 April 2008 (CEST)

Question 4

I asked Anna (how are we supposed to address you) after the last seminar whether we should write a text or headwords (stichpunkte)...

She immediately answered: Text! :-) --Karsten Woll 08:57, 26 April 2008 (CEST)

Understanding problem

Is there anybody who understands the second and third quatrain? I got some problems understanding those stanzas, because I don' t know who is talking to whom, especially in the third stanza?

Maybe there is someone who has a clue!

I would appreciate it!
