We first discussed Joshua's test essay on "Dover Beach" and focused on the distinction between the poet's lamenting society's loss of faith and the view of the later Naturalist writers. We then began Unit 8 by instruction on identifying imagery throughout an entire poem and then tying the different images into a coherent interpretation. In this regard , we studied Bishop's "Fish" noting how the florid and rainbow imagery extend from segment to segment to create meaning. We then began an examination of the complex thick poem "Pied Beauty' . I defined numerous obsolete or uncommon words in the poem (including pied) and we identified the poem's structured (but erratic) rhyme scheme .
