my Notes

10. Craft and Structure: Stanzas 16 and 17 are almost the same as stanzas 1 and 3. Give examples of how they are different. What does this communicate to the reader?
Working from the Text
11. How does the information from the text “The Highwaymen of Hounslow Heath” help you understand the poem “The Highwayman”?
12. By the time Alfred Noyes wrote “The Highwayman,” these thieves no longer existed. Does the poet use a realistic or a romanticized version of this figure from English history? Compare and contrast the historical character with the fictional character.
