"Mending Wall" is one of Robert Frost's most famous poems. When you are asked about the form of something, you need to start with the very basics. At root, the form is "poetry." Delving more deeply, we consider what type of poetic form Frost has chosen. In this instance, we can see that the lines do not rhyme with each other, so it isn't a traditional poetic form like a sonnet or a ballad. However, at the same time, if you sound out the lines, you can hear that they fall into a distinct rhythm and pattern. This regular meter—known as iambic pentameter, because there are five stressed beats, or feet, per line—means that this is not a free verse poem. Although it does not rhyme, these metrical verse features mean that we refer to it as blank verse.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 2, of julius caesar. cassius. to every new protester; if you know that i do fawn on men and hug them hard and after scandal them: or if you know that i profess myself in banqueting to all the rout: then hold me dangerous. [flourish, and shout] which statement best explains why shakespeare has cassius use the word fawn rather than a synonym such as flatter to describe his actions? fawn is more negative, suggesting manipulation of another for personal gain. fawn suggests a physical connection to other men, such as hugging them. fawn is animal imagery suggesting obedience, begging, and affection. fawn is more positive, suggesting that cassius wants to give brutus sound advice.
