Poetry My Papa's Waltz- PowerPoint
Homework
Answer the following questions (cornell response) based on the three poems from the PowerPoint
- Recall In “My Papa’s Waltz,” why is the speaker’s mother frowning?
- Clarify In “I Ask My Mother to Sing,” what is the mother’s song about?
- Summarize Describe the setting of "Grape Sherbet” as you visualize it.
- Make Inferences Review the charts you made as you read. What key inferences helped you understand each poem? What clues did you use to make these inferences?
- Compare and Contrast In “My Papa’s Waltz” and “Grape Sherbet,” the speakers recall childhood memories. How are their experiences with their fathers alike? How are they different? Cite evidence from each poem to support it.
- Interpret Imagery Reread lines 9-12 in “I Ask My Mother to Sing.” What idea is suggested by the image of the water lilies filling with water, spilling it into the lake, and filling up again? Consider the event described in the final stanza.
- Analyze Lyric Poetry Review the definition of lyric poetry on page 677. Then identify the qualities of a lyric poem found in “ I Ask My Mother to Sing.”
- Make Judgments in "My Papa’s Waltz,” how do you judge the father’s behavior toward the speaker? Cite evidence to support your answer.
- Critical Interpretations In writing about "My Papa’s Waltz,” one critic remarked that Roethke reveals "something of his own joy, and bafflement, as the victim of his father's exuberant energy.” Do you consider victim too harsh a word to describe the boy's part in the evening waltz? Why or why not?
