Task:
In this activity, you will discuss how a poet uses descriptive language to communicate perspective and identity. Pick out the imagery used to describe nature in each of the poems and think about how it conveys the poet's perspective on nature. Consider what this point of view reveals about the author. Decide if the descriptive details are effective in conveying the poet's feelings and perspective on nature. Is the writer's use of nature imagery effective?
