Talk:2009-10 BM1 Assignment 1: Poetry

Please, feel free to ask (and answer) questions concerning the poetry assignment on this page. Best, Anna Auguscik 15:53, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Does anybody know who is addressed in line 12? (Does he mean the addressee or does the speaker mean himself?) And how are we supposed to write the metre and the rhyme-scheme down? Maybe like in the handout that was given to us- in three steps? Greetings, Milena

I would say that the speaker means the addressee/the woman in line 11 and 12. What are "figures of speech" (task 2b) - only the tropes (metaphor,metonymy,...) or also alliteration and parallelism? Greetings, Lena

I also have problems with line 12...how can I translate "tils the shore"?! I can´t find the word 'til' anywhere...I also have troubles finding the main conclusion of the second paragraph, especially the first two lines of it. Who is adressed in the second paragraph, is it himself or someone else? What has been enacted? so many questions...I hope someone can help me, greeting sandra

To Lena: I think figures of speech are metonymy, synecdoche, allegory and symbols...you can look them up on the figurative speech handout
