Analyzing Imagery and Sound in Poetry

Question 4 • KS-English Language Arts 9 CR

Read the excerpt from "Out in the Snow” by Louise Chandler Moulton.The snow and the silence came down together,Through the night so white and so still;And young folks housed from the bitter weather,Housed from the storm and the chill Heard in their dreams the sleigh-bells jingle,Coasted the hill-sides under the moon,Felt their cheeks with the keen air tingleSkimmed the ice with their steel-clad shoon.

Answer
A
“The snow and silence came down together”
B
“Through the night so white and so still”
C
“Heard in their dreams the sleigh-bells jingle”
D
“Felt their cheeks with the keen air tingle”

Explanation

The line “Heard in their dreams the sleigh-bells jingle” appeals to hearing: sleigh bells make a sound. The other choices describe snow and stillness or the feeling of cold air on cheeks, rather than focusing on sound.
