im in your online class, i think where the confusion is what content and evidence a student needs. evidence is tough to find but if there isnt a clear author then its tougher. I dont know how a student can understand what to do with this if youre new.
Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone could help me with the structure of the poem "Pet Panther" by A.R. Ammons? Also, I understand the poem is an extended metaphor, but what would be some of the metaphors in the poem? Any help would be appreciated :) My attention is a wild animal: it will if idle make trouble where there was no harm: it will sniff and scratch at the breath’s sills: it will wind itself tight around the pulse or, undistracted by verbal toys, pommel the heart frantic: it will pounce on a stalled riddle and wrestle the mind numb: attention, fierce animal I cry, as it coughs in my face, dislodges boulders in my belly, lie down, be still, have mercy, here is song, coils of song, play it out, run with it.
