Stopping by Woods questions

1) What is the significance of the title?

2) What is the significance of reversing the word order in line 1?

3) What is the point of the word "though" in line 2?

4) How does the rhyme scheme add emphasis?

5) Describe the meter and how does it relate to the poem's meaning?

6) What images are used and how do they comment on the poem's larger meaning?

7) Provide more than one explanation for lines 8 and 15.

8) Comment on the use of the words "easy" and "downy."

9) Provide examples of assonance and alliteration.

If you wish to take a stab at questions 6 and 9, feel free, but we'll do those in class.
