The author takes a very different approach to the same topic, however. Not only is the underlying topic of existentialism the same, but the writing styles and rhetorical devices similar, as well.

They did not name either objects in their poems and the class had to guess what the objects were. Lesson 6 I opened this lesson by defining narrative poetry. We used “popcorn reading” to read the “Highwayman”. To determine if this poem was a narrative poem or not I had the students to complete a plot chart while we were reading the poem. After we read the poem, I placed the plot chart on the smartboard and we filled it out as a class. We were able
