[The Lonely Island (T-Pain)]

I’m on a boat motherfucker take a look at me

Straight flowin on a boat on the deep blue sea

Bustin five knots, wind whippin out my coat

You can’t stop me motherfucker cause I’m on a boat

Take a picture, trick (trick) I’m on a boat, bitch (bitch)

We drinking Santana champ, cause it’s so crisp (crisp)

I got my swim trunks, and my flippie-floppies

I’m flippin burgers, you at Kinko’s straight flippin copies

2) Read “I’m Nobody, Who are You?” by Emily Dickinson. Then, write a discussion post in which you answer the following questions:

1. How would you describe the speaker? (note: in poetry, the narrator is referred to as the “speaker”)

2. What are some sound techniques that Dickinson uses?

3. Do you feel the overall tone of the poem is happy, sad, sarcastic, or something else? What leads you to this conclusion?

3) Read “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Eliot. Then, write a discussion post in which you answer the following questions:

1. How would you describe the speaker?

2. Where does the poem seem to take place?

3. Allusion is a technique that involves making references to other works of art. Eliot relies heavily on it here. Are there any allusions you found?

4. This is a question from your textbook, but I like it so I’ll ask it too. Eliot once said that poetry doesn’t have to be understood to be appreciated. Do you agree? Why or why not? (for the record, Eliot was notoriously hard to understand, and went out of his way at times to be difficult)
