In The Exeter Book, the poems we read focused on the average person and the struggles they faced in daily life. Based on that idea, choose one of the poems (The Seafarer, The Wife’s Lament, or The Wanderer) and discuss two things in two short paragraphs (4-7 sentences). First, what is the main theme of the poem? Second, how is that idea discussed in relation to that specific speaker in the poem? In order to accurately answer this question, you will need to include evidence from the poem in the form of direct quotes, and analysis of the theme of the poem. Make sure you fully explain your ideas! *

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
