The Plot Matters
You’re on an NPR sponsored radio show where
scholars take opposing sides on a work of fiction. Today’s episode features the
Ted Kooser poem, “Abandoned Farmhouse” and raises the question: Must we figure
out, or partly figure out the mystery in the poem to appreciate and understand
it?
Main Task: Construct a
general timeline of events in any way you chose. After each event, however, you must provide relevant evidence from
the poem to support your argument.
*Hint:
Avoid getting TOO specific. This is
not a challenge to come up with the most creative, outlandish timeline
of events. It is impossible to detail the specifics of the mystery, so don’t
try to (sorry for my sass, but I think it’s warranted J)
