Is the world too much with us, or not enough?

Quote: In Chinese, the word for crisis is wei ji, composed of the character wei, which means danger, and ji, which means opportunity. -Jan Wong

Classwork: Working with a partner, decide where line breaks should occur in Lucille Clifton's
poem "the poet." Then explain what line break technique you've used and why.

Homework: Read William Wordsworth and Denise Levertov's poems "The World is Too Much With Us" and "O Taste and See." Then answer the literary analysis questions provided. Always answer in complete sentences, providing evidence. Finally, create a Venn diagram comparing the two poems.
