big fat Calm Uh we're just gonna kind of cruise

00:09

through it here and looking and just kind of winking

00:11

at it first All right First question Let's just get

00:17

to it The purpose of the first stands and lines

00:19

one through twelve primarily to do what All right let's

00:22

skim and mercifully there short I know some lonely houses

00:26

off the road or Robert like the look of a

00:28

wooden barred and windows hanging low inviting to a portico

00:32

where two could creep one and the tools the other

00:34

peop to make sure all is asleep They're clever Reimers

00:37

Year old fashioned I's not easy to surprise Yeah that's

00:41

an Aerosmith All right Well let's think about this immediately

00:48

We're acquainted with the poems setting and the mysterious fellows

00:51

that hypothetically linger outside the first stands There really gives

00:57

a sense of the location within the poem and the

01:00

fact that something sneaky could happen here So the answer

01:02

01:18

on between the setting or the speaker's tone because well

01:21

we don't hear much about the speaker's perspective So get

01:23

rid of sea There's always an impending theme Get rid

01:26

of the lurking somewhere in the poetry But again the

01:29

focus is on this setting here clearly way more important

01:32

than the lurking thing And we have no idea whether

01:35

Speaker is lonely because well she seems like a spectator

01:38

or avoid you're here or something like that So get

01:40

rid of you So the answer is just a That's

01:43

it It's a sense of intrigue you know kind of 00:01:45.91 --> [endTime] like why you're doing this video
