5. How to add a quote Use a “quote sandwich”
A metaphor is one type of writer’s craft that Mark Doty uses to convey that the speaker of his poem is a dog.
He writes, “This shining bark,/ a Zen master’s bronzy gong, calls you here,/ entirely, now”.
Doty’s comparison of the dog’s bark to a gong is important to the meaning of the poem. It shows that the dog’s gong-like bark helps the dog complete its task of bringing its master’s attention back to the present moment.

16. Student A Exemplar
One way a poet’s writing choices convey a speaker’s identity is through verb tense. Past, present, or future tense verbs give the reader clues about the speaker in poems. For example, in “Golden Retrievals” the speaker is a dog. Mark Doty uses present tense verbs like “capture,” “I’m,” and “calls” to demonstrate that the dog is narrating in the present. These present tense verbs reinforce Mark Doty’s message that animals live in the moment while humans live in the past and future.

17. Student B Exemplar
Word choice can provide the reader clues to discover the speaker. For example, Mark Doty uses the words “fetch,” “catch,” and “woof”. This word choice sends the message that the narrator is a dog because these are words associated with dogs. Canines love to play fetch and catch balls, and the onomatopoeia “woof” is the sound a dog makes. Doty’s word choices are purposeful and clearly convey the narrator is a Golden Retriever.

18. Student C Exemplar
In Mark Doty’s poem, the speaker is a dog who is playing outside with its owner. Doty uses a lot of punctuation which makes the poem choppy. For example, dashes break the train of thought when the dog says, “Bunny, tumbling leaf, a squirrel who’s—oh joy—actually scared.” This is purposeful. Doty wants the reader to experience the short attention span of a dog who easily distracted by his surroundings. Doty has made the speaker clear through his choice in conventions.
