"A Fire Truck" by Richard Wilbur

Our purpose here is to make clear that analysis of literature follows the same principles regardless of genre. True, the structures are different, but the same principles of reading and writing apply.

Address these two questions in your next blog posting. Complete the posting before next Friday the 13th (cue music: doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...)

1. What is the purpose of the poem?

2. Is "A Fire Truck" good poetry? Justify your response drawing on your knowledge of good and bad writing.
