Must be 500-700 words long.
Must be typed and in MLA format, which includes: double spaced, Times New Roman size 12 font, a correct MLA header, and correct MLA in-text citations.
Must be proofread and clean. This is a college class, so you should write a paper that looks like it was written by a college student.
Can be either one paragraph or two to three paragraphs. Either way, you are required to have both a thesis statement that can act as an introduction or introductory topic sentence, as well as a concluding sentence or paragraph.
Absolutely NO RESEARCH should be conducted for this essay. The thoughts and analysis should be entirely your own. However, if you ignore my rule and you do happen to look up information or opinions on the story, then you are required to cite your sources correctly and thoroughly in MLA format, because otherwise you will fail the assignment for plagiarism.
Answer the following Prompt:
Take two of the poems posted to Unit 4 and analyze them for their meaning. Find a similar theme, idea, or poetic style/technique and explain how each poem creates meaning using imagery, metaphor, etc. What is each poem saying? You can compare and contrast the two poems, or simply find a similar thread that connects them and explicate that thread in your analysis. Remember, so what?
!!! Don’t forget to quote and cite at least one passage from each poem to analyze as evidence. !!!!
Suggestion: I would suggest that you word your thesis in a way that points out something that both poems are doing and why that is significant. For example, perhaps both poems use violent or scary imagery, or perhaps they both present an alternative to a normal love poem, or they both have the same specific theme.
