Fri DN 10.20.22 - Poetry, Prose, Drama/Long Vowel Teams

Why might an author choose poetry rather than prose?

• The author wants the reader to act and say the lines

• The author wants to use rhyming words in paragraphs to describe objects

• The author uses fewer words, that may include sound, to express their ideas, which can be read aloud and made into a song

• The author wants to describe in detail with many words their story, which can only be read out loud

What is the meaning of dialogue?

• Conversations between characters in a text

• A struggle that takes place in a story

• The internal monologue of a character

• The gestures an actor uses in a drama

How many Stanzas are in this poem?

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound’s the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

- Robert Frost
