Write a at least a two full-page poetry analysis (if you go over the page count it is okay), with a list of sources used and incorporate MLA citations:
Poetry Essay: This must be typed in the standard MLA format: Be sure to support statements, lines from the poem, and examples with evidence from the poem and any outside source(s) used; and be sure to document properly.
Choose one or two poems by the same poet. You can choose on your own, or look through Poets.org or Poetryfoundation.com
Write about consistencies of: style, rhythm, theme, metaphor, symbolism, patterns, and other elements you find. Include specific lines from the poem in the essay to back up your ideas. Incorporate relevant information about the author in your essay. Include the poem(s) with the paper. As always, cite your sources in MLA format.
For help writing this essay, see definitions in the past Learning Modules for the Poetry Part of Class, and use the outside sources: Poets.org or ThePoetryFoundation.org. You may use the SMCC Library, the web sources poets.org or the poetryfoundation.com, or other credible outside sources for your paper. Please do not use Wikipedia as a citation.
Do not use sites that offer “free essays” because they are not credible, and they are not good. It is evident to me when I read answers and papers that incorporate answers from these sites, even if the student changes the words, or rearranges the words, it is easy to detect. These types of responses easy for me to look up on the Internet, and it is apparent when students don’t use their own words. Use credible sources, and cite them to back up what you say in the paper. Essay mills (“free essay” sites) are terrible, and the writing is mostly garbage. Use your own thoughts & ideas those are much better.
