Seniors: Assignment for Monday, December 6th

Please read John Updike's poem "Telephone Poles". Write (type) a one page, double spaced interpretation of the poem's meaning based on an explication of its imagery. What does this mean? Read the poem, note and consider the imagery, then, write an interpretation of the poem's meaning based on this imagery.

This is diagnostic - I expect you to be challenged. You will be graded on your honest and conscientious attempt at interpreting the poem. You have one shot; the one-page interpretation needs to be turned in on Monday - the beginning of class.
