Imagery of the Ghetto

We talked about the different registers of imagery in the 
opening scene of The Ghetto--what function imagery serves,
and what it communicates about the poet's vision.


Through section 2-4, locate more imagery (and imagery registers)--
identify and write on 2 or 3 different images and try to say 
something more broadly about how Ridge uses them to shape our 
understanding of the Ghetto and the immigrant experience.
Ex.
"The night - wide-opening crooked and comforting arms,
Hiding her as in a voluminous skirt...."
