Consider for a moment: What one object would you choose to represent yourself? To symbolize yourself as a student, you might choose a book. To indicate that you are a parent, you could select a picture of your child. If you are a musician, you could use a clef. A sports fan might consider a football or hockey stick. Some people might identify their astrological sign or birthstone. All of these things are symbols, and they tell something about a person.

Question

Choose “The negro speaks of rivers” from among those you were assigned this week except Sonnet 29, which will be used as an example below.

Part A: Review the poem you have chosen, and for about 15 minutes, record the emotions that you experience when you read the poem. You may include emotions that you had when you first encountered the poem. Don’t worry about grammar or spelling at this point. Try to capture the feelings as best you can. Write a paragraph for this part of the assignment. 

Part B: Now, look at the poem again. Make a table with three columns. In the far left column, list the specific words or phrases that triggered the emotions you identified in Part A. In the middle column, describe the emotions that these words evoked. Finally, in the right-hand column, speculate why the poem’s language caused the emotions you identified.
