The poem "grandfather says" by Ai
http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMI...
-Discuss the relationship between the Visual, Auditory, and Thematic elements.
- the poet uses visual elements of the text, such as enjambment, stanzas or verse-paragraphs, formal lines or informal ones, etc. Why? How does that relate to the experience of reading the poem.
- the poet uses meter and rhyme to establish a varied cadence and pattern of sound. What sort of emphases or direction does that create?
- the themes, images, metaphors, and conceits (extended metaphors) conjure ideas, emotions, and concepts. To what end? And how has the poet used the visual and auditory elements to build on the thematic ones?
