Analyzing and Interpreting Literature / Unit 19 AIL 1803 short lesson, about 20 seconds
When Measurement Stops Helping
Captions available
The idea
Unit eight's four measurements identify a fixed form and return nothing on an open one. That is information rather than failure: a poem that will not scan and has no rhyme scheme has told you what it is. Record the absence and move to the other devices.
In practice
The absence is the answer.
Where people slip
A failed measurement is evidence.
