due Thursday 11/19

1. , Write in a comment on this blog post, a simile for "Poetry," 792, "Sestina," 793, and "Ars Poetica" (794); then write a simile for the way one of these poems (or ["Do not go gentle into that good night"]) SOUNDS.

2. Have two "rows" (pages, really) of your "chart" on MSND. Your starting questions are, how does the language of each character differ from the language of the other characters? Is there anything notable that is common to the language of the different characters?
