Choose one of the following pairs of poems and songs: •“The Lady of Shalott ” by Alfred Tennyson; song “The Lady of Shalott” by Loreena McKennitt
•“Because I Could Not Stop for Death ” by Emily Dickinson; song “Because I Could not Stop” by Natalie Merchant
•“Promises Like Pie-Crust ” by Christina Rossetti; song “Promises Like Pie-Crust” by Carla Bruni
•“The Two Trees ” by William Butler Yeats; song “The Two Trees” by Loreena McKennitt
Plan to read the text version of the poem and listen to the song version a few times to get a good feel for the rhythm of each of the two versions. Then, think about how it contributes to the feeling and meaning of the poem in both situations.
Write a short essay (200–400 words) comparing the two versions of the poem, considering the following questions:
•How does the meter of the poem change, if at all, when it is presented in song form?
•Does the original poem have a meter that lends itself well to song lyrics?
•How, if at all, is the poem changed or presented differently as a song?
•Why might the artist have made changes to the poem?
•Does the poem take on a different meaning in song form than in poetic form?
Structure your essay into an introduction, body, and conclusion. Make sure your essay focuses on a main idea, includes precise language to clarify ideas, and is written in a formal style. Use textual evidence, including scansion, to support your ideas.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
