Response Questions
Use complete sentences and textual support for each response. In eight to 10 sentences, compare the “Bees of England” metaphor in Shelley’s poem to the metaphor of England as “Mother to the Free” in Benson’s poem. The metaphor “Bees of England” is one of the easiest metaphors to understand. When Shelley means by bees, he is referring to people that actually works. He refers them as bees because they do hard labor for the upper class. In fact, the main reason is that bees work nonstop until they die. Also in the poem includes how the upper class is just like male bees that does nothing but mate. The metaphor “Mother of the free” refers to the land of England as a mother that provides. What it provides is freedom to people there which the word “free” is about. The difference between these two metaphors is that one has more sense than the other. “Bees of England” is really understandable since its talking about people and they are the same as bees. While “Mother to the free is about the land and what it provides to the people.
In 8-10 sentences, compare the methods the two poets use to emphasize their enthusiasm toward their view of England. Benson’s poem is about the land and Shelley’s poem is about the different classes there. The methods being used in Shelley’s poem to emphasize his enthusiasm toward his view is by using the Iambic tetrameter and the rhyme scheme of AABB. The rhyme scheme of AABB makes the poem a song like lyric character which it’s more accessible to people and less intellectual. Also the method that’s included is the type of tone being used. The tone of the poem is condescending which encourages readers to rise up. In the poem of Land of Hope and Glory, Benson used some methods to make the poem the way it supposed to be. In the poem he used Iambic hexameter and Iambic tetrameter and ABABCDCD rhyme scheme. The rhyme scheme makes the poem lyrical in a sense. The tone in which he includes in the poem is patriotic which indeed motivates the readers also. Both of these poems are lyrical but, at the same time they have different meanings and methods presented. Both poems have motivational meanings.
