Question

what is the effect of the repetition of the last line of each stanza in \the pasture\?
select two correct answers.

the repetition gives a feeling of distance from the language of the poem.

the repetition imparts a sense of separation from the speaker of the poem.

the repetition gives a feeling of connection to the language of the poem.

the repetition is an invitation to connect with the speaker of the poem.

Explanation:

In Robert Frost's The Pasture, the repeated closing line ("I shan't be gone long.—You come too.") creates an intimate, inviting tone. Repetition in poetry often fosters familiarity, which builds connection to the poem's language. Additionally, the direct address "You come too" actively invites the reader to engage with and connect to the speaker. The other options are incorrect because the repetition does not create distance or separation.

Answer:

C. The repetition gives a feeling of connection to the language of the poem.
D. The repetition is an invitation to connect with the speaker of the poem.
