Today, we discussed the concepts of "tone" and "the speaker", as they relate to poetry.
Tone is defined as the “author’s attitude towards his or her subject.” The speaker is the person who is speaking in the poem. Please note that the speaker is not always the author.
We read three poems in class: “The Face in the Mirror” by Robert Frost, “The Cloud” by Percy Bysshe Shelley, and “At Wodward’s Gardens” by Robert Frost. If you missed this day of class, you should make up this work by reading those poems and answering the "Study and Discussion" questions that follow.
