Read through your writing notebook, especially focusing on the entries you’ve added in this poetry unit so far. Choose one that you like and spend some time drafting further. Be sure to include at least one sound technique and one of the figurative language techniques we’ve explored in this section. Your poem does not have to be of final draft quality when you submit it, but it must be complete and it must show the techniques you’ve chosen to use. This poem may be one that you choose to include in your final unit project. Once you have a draft ready to submit, write a brief paragraph describing the techniques you used. Answer the following question in your paragraph:

What sound technique(s) did you choose to use?
How did you use it in your poem?
Why did you choose this particular technique, and what effect do you expect it to have on the reader?
What figurative language technique(s) did you choose to use?
How did you use it in your poem?
Why did you choose it — and what effect do you expect it to have on the reader?

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.

- free verse.

- " in poetry, one of the best ways to practice technique is to write in. i want all to be unstressed so that “all the clocks” and “in the night” are matching anapests. many forms that sharpen skills are useful in free verse."

the simple predicate of the sentence is camped.
