(a) everyone likes nature and this aspect can easily be incorporated into the letter
(b) poem’s speaker values qualities like self-growth, self-improvement, etc.
(c) problems of industrialized society can be discussed
(d) jokes can be included in the letter since this character seems to have humor
(e) all of the above
(f) a and c

2. If “Tintern Abbey” wasn’t an option for the functional resume and application letter
assignment, and you had to deal with “Landlady” only, what would you choose as the
landlady’s dominant characteristic:
(a) organization
(b) fexibility
(c) communication
(d) resourcefulness
(e) method (i.e., she’s methodical)
(f) leadership
(g) innovation
(h) a and f
(i) a, d and e
3. It’s much easier to write an application letter inspired by “Landlady” than “Tintern”
because you can write your letter as if you’re addressing either the landlady or the
anonymous speaker of the poem (since it’s delivered in 3 rd-person voice); in this way, you
have more creative liberty with an application letter based on “Landlady.”
4. Tone is sometimes more important than diction (i.e., word choice) in an application letter—
although the two aspects are connected. If, for example, John and George are writing
application letters intended for the speaker in “Tintern” and landlady in “Landlady,”
respectively, the most appropriate tones are:
Dear _____,
The job advertised on your website is _____. The skills I can offer your growing company
include _____. Having recently secured my B.Eng. degree, I am very eager _____.
For several years I have taken _____ that closely overlap with _____. The principles your

“Landlady,” l. 4).
