Choose two of the poems from the assigned readings and Write a detailed analysis of its form and content Consider discussing such things

COMPARING AND CONTRASTING TWO LITERARY WORKS

STUDENTS HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR ESSAY #2:


Explicating a poem entails conducting a detailed analysis of both structure and content. Content refers to the language of a poem. In other terms, then, analyzing the content of a poem involves offering a careful analysis of the specific words of a poem; this careful analysis of the language of a poem will, of course, lead to a discussion of other elements as well, including setting, speaker, metaphor, irony, etc. (the interrelated details).

Option #1

–
Choose two of the poems from the assigned readings and

* Write a detailed analysis of its form and content
*Consider discussing such things as a form of the poem and its content, the effect of such stylistic devices as rhyme, alliteration, assonance, or, meter variation

* There are many rhyme scheme patterns, so absolutely do not merely repeat and define rhyme schemes


Option 2:

Compare and contrast from two of the assigned readings two divergent critical approaches to literature.

Regardless of how one approaches the reading, the essay should be:

* Structured around some organizing thesis (main argument) that is pursued throughout the analysis of the essay.

*The goal of the essay is to make an argument about what the essay means through a careful analysis of its structure and content.

* Use of four outside critical sources in this essay.
