In the first
stanza, what other words can you use to replace the word ‘quiet’ in the phrase ‘quiet
eyes’ without changing the intended meaning?
Deceptive/Dishonest/Pretending/Devious/Misleading/False
What do
these lines mean?
They were two pools of lies
Layered with thinnest eyes
Danger lurked
beneath the seemingly calm and sincere demeanour of the boy/man
She’d be free from the ‘hows and the whys’. Write 2
possible questions that could have been asked by the girl.
How could I
have been so trusting?
Why did he
leave me?
How could he
have done this to me?
Why was I so
blind?
What do you think the line ‘Be sure that nice really means nice’ from the poem means?
Being friendly
and cordial with a man is fine as long as there are no hidden motives or expectations
on his part for casual, physical intimacy.
