Poetry analysis is not really as scary as it may seem. When reading the poems, pay attention to the poetic conventions that really stand out: voice (speaker in the poem) word choice, or word order imagery figures of speech (simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, understatement, metonymy, synecdoche, apostrophe) sound (rhythm, rhyme, assonance, alliteration, consonance) form symbolism, allegory, myth theme All of these aspects help to create meaning for the reader. Which rhetorical element creates the greatest meaning? Which did you understand the best? That is the element that you will want to address in your analysis essay. The analysis essay does not require outside research. As a matter of fact, please avoid using outside sources (these usually cause issues with plagiarism in the essays). The analysis essay is merely a “reader response” essay. State your claims about the text using only evidence from the poem to support your points. in-text citations for poems should include the line numbers only. Quotes from poems use slashes to indicate line breaks in the original poem. Do not type it as you see it on the page: As an example, William Carlos Williams writes, “so much depends/ upon” (1-2). The essay only needs to be about two pages in length. *All essays must be formal, so do not use 1st or 2nd person or contractions. And, the essay should have a Work Cited page with only the poem listed. The author’s full name and the title of the poem should be in the introductory paragraph. (Titles of poems should be in quotation marks, not italics unless an extraordinarily long poem: Beowulf.) Write an essay of 500-750 words on the use of a single literary device/term used within one of the poems you read for this lesson. Be sure to: Include an outline. Use MLA format. Include a Works Cited page, listing the poem you used. Review the format for citing lines of poetry. Citations from the poem will be needed to support your argument. WHATEVER POEM YOU USED FOR DISCUSSION YOU MUST USE IN THIS ESSAY
