* Perrine's Poetry Ch.3: Denotation and Connotation
- Review the differeneeces
- Why is connotation often more important than denotation in communication of any sort (especially poetry)? Consider irony, sarcasm, and the like.
- Review example poems, especially "There is no Frigate like a Book" and "One Art" (first and last poems in Perrine's Poetry chapter 3).
- For "There is no Frigate...," Perrine has helpful review thoughts.
- For "One Art," pay careful attention to the last stanza. Do you see anything different in its puncutation? In its verbiage? Why? What could account for these differences in style (compared to previous stanzas)?
