'You Fit Into Me' Answers

1) It acts as an introduction to the poem and sets an atmosphere which is both intriguing and yet tranquil
2) None!
3) There is one concept that is being discussed throughout the poem and it's putting a hook into an eye. The same words are used repeatedly. However, two completely different meanings are drawn into consideration, once being the graceful hooking of a hook-eye and the other being the gruesome thought of a fish hook digging into an open eye.
4) Yes, the hook into an eye is a very joyful connotation, especially to females, since it symbolises fancy attire, nevertheless, the thought of a fish hook into an eye is very disturbing.
5) Images of dresses, skirts and fancy clothing is created however then the image of making a hole in an open human eye with a fish hook is introduced which covers up the joyous atmosphere that was set in the first place
6) Since not many words are used and they are repeated, there is an AB CB rhyming pattern, however no rhythm patterns are prominent, perhaps because the poem is only four lines long and consequently there is no space for a rhythm pattern to be incorporated
7) The tone of this poem undergoes a twist half way through, since the connotations of the hooks and eyes described change
8) It is being told from the point of view of a lover, with an unknown gender
9) The  biggest irony is what the author actually means by 'hook into an eye'
10) That although a hook into an eye is being described, there is word play in the sense that when one reads further on into the poem, they realise that it isn't just the serene clasping of a hook into an eye, instead, talking about love, somebody fits into the poet, like a hook fits into an open eye, which is very painful and disturbing, raising questions about this love relationship.
11) The choice of diction is actually what allows the irony to occur, since it clarifies what the author means by a hook into an eye, twisting the atmosphere of the poem immediately into something that love is not usually described by.
