Unit 8- Poetry -Extended metaphor, symbolism, paradox
Lesson Outline
We continued studying poetic irony ,symbols, and juxtaposition by analyzing Owen's famous anti -war poem, "Anthem for Doomed Youth." Joshua charted the use of juxtaposition in the poem by noting the contrasting images of "church bells and rattling rifles " ," church candles and dying soldiers' eyes", and "prayers and wailing shells." We discussed the function of these techniques in elucidating the poem's anti-war message. We next began an examination of Auden's "Musee des Beax Arts" noting the use of allusion to famous artistic drawings of Bruegel which I displayed.
