Read the instructions, my friends.

So, the online course that I'm taking right now is essentially AP English Language. It's one of my favorite subjects, but the course work is pretty menial and not as fun as Mr. Showen's class.

The chapters I'm in right now are on poetry. Poetry analysis is not as fun for me as literature analysis, but whatever. It's not usually difficult. For instance, the first question on the submission for these chapters was to identify certain poetic devices in two given poems. Easy. I flippantly started the search. It took me a day's attention span to answer that one question, and I really hacked the poems to bits trying to assign every word to a device. Naturally, I did not re-read the question until I was done. I was only supposed to identify one example of each device per poem. But I am not letting all of that work go to waste. So please, PLEASE enjoy my error.

The two poems:
Kubla Kahn, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Pied Beauty, by Gerard Manley Hopkins
