This is about the poems "To Autumn" and "Ode on a Grecian Urd" by Keats. I have been trying to figure out these questions for about an hour and a half and get them. Please help. This is an optional assignment and I am trying to get the answers and backtrack to understand them. I am bad with poetry. Thanks

What is special about Autumn to the narrator of the poem in “To Autumn” by Keats? What associations does he draw from the season beyond the natural surroundings and the time of year?




• The poem can be divided into three parts: in the 1st stanza the speaker addresses the urn and then asks it questions; in the 2nd to 4th stanzas, the speaker looks at the urn's designs and then imagine stories, and then in the 5th, the speaker again talks to the urn. Describe at least two of the scenes imagined in stanza 2-4.



• The poem is basically an apostrophe to an inanimate object. Define the term ‘apostrophe.’ Does the poet apostrophize the urn just to praise it? What does he get to understand?
