Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by american poetry The best english poetry on this side

00:09

of the pond Check out phone All right the phrase

00:15

a meaning walk suggests that the neighbor what and hear

00:20

the potential answer for my actions course All right a

00:25

lot of times old school literature is full of old

00:27

school phrases that we might not get immediately Also poetry

00:31

in general is packed with unconventional word choices which poets

00:34

used to be all poetic and stuff Good news is

00:37

we don't have to be experts in old school phrases

00:39

or be poetic genius is jeannie i understand what's going

00:43

on here a little investigation into context clues will save

00:46

us even if we've never heard somebody describe a horse's

00:49

pace as a meaning walk waken definitely next choice eh

00:55

there's absolutely no evidence in the poem that the horse

00:57

and his rider are going in the wrong direction that

01:00

we did hear that the other farmers think fun on

01:02

this guy for his obsession with one direction choice see

01:07

is also rejected The poem doesn't mention anything about how

01:10

the neighbor usually gets home and anyway he's writing a

01:13

force not walking soc is way off the mark Unless

01:16

of course it means that the horse doesn't usually walk

01:18

home well that would be crazy Too because like what

01:21

the horse usually rides the neighbor home the food be

01:24

weird okay we've officially spent too much time thinking about

01:27

this one The poem also proves answered the wrong The

01:30

speaker directly tells us that he sees the neighbor slowing

01:33

the horse down to a meaning lock so unless the

01:37

speaker's a liar we're sure he is a no go

01:39

correct answer is b Word meaning reminds us of the

01:44

word meaningful and makes us think that neighbor is slowing

01:47

his horse down very purposely like he has something important

01:50

to say Unfortunately the poem ends before you can find

01:53

out what the important thing is Wow thanks robert for

01:56

us for stringing us along without a solid payoff Oh

01:59

well this we didn't put his much time into This

02:01

is we did watching the last six seasons of lost
