QUIZ
We have talked about the importance of metaphor ( like, as, comparisons) in a poem. We also have discussed the importance of sound in a poem. Take two poems that you have read and discuss the use of metaphor and sound that the poet used to enhance the poem and the theme he or she portrays. Make sure to use specific quotes from each poem to prove your point.
