Question

Which lines from the poem make up the actual "page" that the speaker writes for his instructor? How do they differ from the rest of the poem? Provide details from the text that support your response.

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual page is considered to begin at line 7.

Explanation:

Though it is seen that the entire text is technically a part of the assignment, the actual "page" can be said to begin from line 7, where the speaker begins to describe himself. Now from there, the words seem to flow "out of" the writer, as per the request of the instructor. The speaker then continues to reflect, keeping with his assignment, and all the way through until the final line, where he makes a meta-commentary on the assignment itself.
