Reader Response - Auden's "Stop all the clocks"

Directions: After reading both the poem by W. H. Auden entitled "Stop all the clocks" and the Student Writing example that follows, discuss the student's interpretation of the poem in light of your reading of the poem and what you agreed with (or what you at least saw was a valid argument). Pick at least one specific example from the student piece and quote it in your argument. Feel free to comment on any other positive aspects of the essay.

Lastly, pick two aspects of the response that you would improve. These could be mechanical, stylistic, or argumentative choices. State why you would change these things and how your view of the essay would change for the better if these suggestions were implimented. (i.e. You will be proofreading/editing the paper as you would for a peer edit session. Try to steer away from minor spelling or grammar errors.)

Each part of this response should be roughly a paragraph in length.
