Hey kids - yes, that is the home of John Keats! Very exciting - I think he wrote "Ode to Nightingale" in the front yard!!!

Here is your assignment:

Read the poem (Google it).

Do the following:

1. Make a list of and identify all allusions

2. What is the speaker's mood in lines 19 and 20 and how is the mood revealed?

3. Compare the celestial images in stanza 4 to the earthly images in stanza 5 and determine the point of the contrast.

Enjoy - Due tomorrow, February 24th.
