3/1-3/2 Poetry Mini Lesson

Analyzing Analogies & Allusions
An extended comparison between two unlike things is called an analogy.
A reference to well-known stories, artworks, events, and people are called allusions.
3
Read the excerpt from "Any fool can get into an ocean..." then answer the questions.
Any fool can get into an ocean
But it takes a Goddess
To get out of one.
What's true of oceans is true, of course,
Of labyrinths and poems. When you start swimming
Through riptide of rhythms and the metaphor's seaweed
You need to be a good swimmer or a born Goddess
To get back out of them
What is the purpose of the speaker's allusion to the labyrinth?
to compare the abilities of a powerful Green goddess to the heroic deeds of Thesus
to highlight the puzzling yet stirring message at the heart of the poem
to suggest that readers can trap themselves insides the many layers of meaning suggested by figurative language
to emphasize that readers can lose themselves in a good poem, just as they would in a maze
