Henry David Thoreau - Walden

Question 3 • IA-English Language Arts 11 A

What makes “Song of Myself” free verse?

Answer
A
It was given away at no charge.
B
It is influenced by older epic poetry.
C
It is unrhymed but follows European meter.
D
It follows no set meter or rhyme.

Explanation

Free verse does not follow a regular metrical pattern or a fixed rhyme scheme. “Song of Myself” uses flexible rhythms and does not rely on consistent end rhymes, so it follows no set meter or rhyme. Choice C is incorrect because following a European meter would mean the poem has a regular metrical pattern.
