Per Mrs. Minor:
How does the diction reveal the meaning in Ellen Kay's "Pathedy of Manners"? To intelligently respond to this prompt (and why would you want to respond any other way?), you need to work the poem thoroughly first and ascertain what that "meaning" actually is.
Also, be sure to read chapter three on denotation and connotation. Two of the poems, "Naming of Parts" and "The world is too much with us", are ones we will be returning to at some point this quarter.
