ESSAY: "UP-HILL" OBJECTIVES
Respond to the emotion of a poem.
Up-Hill

by Christina Rossetti

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day's journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.

But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.

Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.

Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.

Instructions:
In at least 200 words, identify the feeling described in "Up-Hill", and describe the last time you felt like the person in the poem. Write one paragraph for each of your main points. Try to use connecting words at the end or beginning of each paragraph. Summarize and conclude in a conclusion paragraph.

You will be graded on the following criteria:

Clearly state what you feel the poem is about in your topic sentence.
Make sure each paragraph contains one main idea and support. Use complete sentences including compound and complex sentences.
Include an introductory paragraph, proper transitions, and an appropriate conclusion.

' -  o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!   and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,   to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. the shift in the poem’s rhythm in the last stanza signifies a resolution to the conflict that the poem is a sonnet the speaker’s confusion an irregular rhyme scheme
