Unlocking of Difficulties We will be reading a poem but before that let us make ourselves familiar with these set of difficult words. As I flash each one, kindly formulate a sentence out of the word given its meaning. Ready? Yes Ma’am! To be flashed on the screen and be read by the students. SHRIEK v. -

Very Good Class! Perfectly done! As we read and analyze the poem, please find answers for our set of guide questions.

*Guide questions will be flashed on the screen* Guide Questions 1. What is the first object that the Martian is able to describe? 2. What two forms of weather are mentioned in the poem? 3. What other objects are described by the Martian? 4. How different does the Martian see the objects? Cite some lines from the text to prove your answer? Reading Proper A Martian Sends a Postcard Home (1979) Craig Raine Caxtons are mechanical birds with many wings and some are treasured for their markings – they cause the eyes to melt or the body to shriek without pain. I have never seen one fly, but sometimes they perch on the hand. Mist is when the sky is tired of flight and rests its soft machine on ground: then the world is dim and bookish like engravings under tissue paper. Rain is when the earth is television. It has the property of making colours darker. Model T is a room with the lock inside – a key is turned to free the world for movement, so quick there is a film to watch for anything missed.

But time is tied to the wrist or kept in a box, ticking with impatience. In homes, a haunted apparatus sleeps, that snores when you pick it up. If the ghost cries, they carry it to their lips and soothe it to sleep with sounds. And yet, they wake it up deliberately, by tickling with a finger. Only the young are allowed to suffer openly. Adults go to a punishment room with water but nothing to eat. They lock the door and suffer the noises alone. No one is exempt and everyone’s pain has a different smell. At night, when all the colours die, they hide in pairs and read about themselves – in colour, with their eyelids shut. Did you understand the poem? Alright! Let’s answer first our guide questions flashed earlier. 1. What is the first object that the Martian is able to describe?

A book to a bird

2. What two forms of weather are mentioned Cloudy and Rainfall in the poem? 3. What other objects are described by the the Telephone, CR, Car Martian? 4. How different does the Martian see the He sees everything as if it’s really his first objects? time to see it or to experience it.

*** Poem Analyis *** C. Presentation of the Lesson Splendiid! Everyone seems to be very active today! So like what I’ve said earlier our topic will be Elements of Poetry and now Let’s begin with Stanzas. Stanzas are a series of lines grouped together and separated by an empty line from other stanzas. They are the equivalent of a paragraph in an essay. One way to identify a stanza is to count the number of lines. Thus: couplet (2 lines) tercet (3 lines) quatrain (4 lines) cinquain (5 lines) sestet (6 lines) (sometimes it's called a sexain) septet (7 lines) octave (8 lines) Next is Imagery? Something that we can imagine What do you know about imagery? The word "image" suggests most obviously a visual image, a picture, but imagery also includes vivid sensory experiences of smell, sound, touch, and taste as well. Imagery goes beyond mere description to communicate an experience or feeling so vividly that it encourages the creation of images in the mind of the reader and readers experience for themselves the specific sensations that the poet intends. Do you know the types of imagery in poetry?

Very Good!, most them are represented by our

Yes Ma’am! They are in the purpose of our senses.

senses. First is Visual Imagery: visual descriptions so vivid they seem to come to life in the reader's mind's when they are read. Ex:

The Widow’s Lament In Spring Time masses of flowers load the cherry branches and color some bushes yellow and some red (William Carlos Williams)

The poem above allows us to see the beautiful scenery of flowers which grow up in the cherry branches. We can also see yellow and red bushes. This represents a widow’s situation. Her life is like dry bushes in the middle of the flowers’ growth. Now, Let us cite some evidences of visual imagery from the poem we have read. Somebody please? Auditory Imagery: descriptions of sound so vivid the reader seems almost to hear them while reading the poem. Ex:

Splinter by Carl Sandburg the voice of the last cricket across the first frost is one kind of good-by it is so thin a splinter of singing

This poem represents auditory image, it can be seen in the first line “the voice of the last cricket”. We can hear cricket song in the end of autumn. Auditory imagery could also appear in the form of onomatopoeia. Words such as “bang!” “achoo!” “cacaw!” all work to describe sounds that most people are familiar with
