About the test on Thursday: you will be tested on the first 8 poems of the poetry unit of Peace and Conflict. These are on the handout I gave you at the start of the semester. There will be several questions on each poem and you will have to choose which ones you want to write on.

As with all my tests, you will need to use specific references when answering the questions. Vague generalizations will not get full marks. I highly suggest you review tonight and tomorrow night.

Tonight you need to write a one-page report on which poem you find superior: Vergissmeinnicht or Guns (p 959, p 960). Remember to consider the criteria as outlined in Evaluating Poetry (p 903). Include the three basic questions- What is the central purpose, How fully has this purpose been accomplished, How important is this purpose, and address whether either of these poems is overly sentimental, rhetorical, or didactic.
