Use literary terms for poetry like speaker, sound, rhythm, tone, style, voice, rhyme, stanza.
***I will grade your essay on the following: Strong thesis statement; organization; correct use of literary terms; correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling; and correct MLA in-text citation of poetry lines.
Also, please include in-text citations for quotes from the poem, and know that in-text citations for poetry are different from citations for a short story.
Cite six to twelve lines from the poem in your essay.
Directions for citing poetry are in this link.
Analyze the poem using your own ideas. Again, there is no need to do research for this essay, so you do not need a Works Cited page for this assignment. I am looking for your ideas and analysis, not someone else’s.
