How does the meaning of lines 1 through 4 contrast with the meaning of the rest of the poem? How does the poet transition from the first part to the second, and what purpose does the transition serve? What effect does the poet create by structuring the poem in this way?

RL.9-10.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone).

TIP FOR DISCUSSION Stay on topic. Think about what you want to say before you speak, and connect your ideas to statements that others have made.
