1. Tell us the number of lines and the number of stanzas.
2. Copy and explain the metaphor in stanza 5. Do you ever feel like a puppet on a string? Explain.
3. The final stanza appears to have absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the song. Can you explain why Thin Lizzy chose to put it there?
4.List all of the words in the first stanza that rhyme. Where do they fall in the stanza? Are they always at the end of a line?
5. In stanza 3, there are 5 words that are spelled with an s that we would normally spell with a z. List the five words then explain why they are "misspelled." (HINT: if you're not sure, then copy and paste some of the words from stanza 3 into the online dictionary [follow the link below] and see what spellings for those words the dictionary gives you.)
6. Use this link to an online dictionary to look up insinuate, intimidate, complicate, and hesitate. Copy their definitions into your post. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/dictionaryhome.aspx
7. Remember: If you finish early, then you should respond to the "Lyrics Comparison" prompt. I haven't received many of those yet and it's already Wednesday...
