Speculative Fiction & Poetry--Assignment 3 James Madison University

Instructions: Please type your initial commentary for submission. It should be at least a paragraph or two. Your question about (or quote from) "Goblin Markets" can be handwritten or typed on the bottom/back of the same page or on another full-sized sheet of paper. Remember to include your name at the top of the assignment. Multiple pages should be stapled together.

• The prompt this time for your Initial Commentary is the following:
  Describe the repetitions and patterns that you observe in this poem and consider what role(s) you think these repetitions and patterns might be playing in the poem. Aesthetic/emotional impacts? Highlighting certain images or themes? Evoking a genre tradition? All of the above? Something else? Make sure you consider why you are thinking it's possible to interpret them this way.
