Final Paper:
Choose a poet and read a collection of his/her works.
The poet can be of any era and any
origin.
As you read, note similarities and trends you see emerging in the work.
Then do
some preliminary research if needed to reinforce your findings.
Write a 4-6-ish page
paper discussing what your exploration reveals.
Choose a trend you recognize in the body of work and focus your paper on it.
Limit
biography to only a paragraph or two unless it directly relates to your thesis. Some
examples:
Does the poet return often to a common theme?
Does s/he rely heavily on one
form or another, and is it effective?
Does s/he concentrate on aural or visual effect?
Can
you characterize the persona of the poems?
Is much of the poetry based on
circumstances unique to the poet (such as Milton?s blindness)? (If so, how does it affect
the body of work?.don?t just say, ?see, he writes about blindness a lot.?)
Does the
poet?s writing seem to be a response to what was happening historically during his/her
lifetime? (Again, make a point?.
.does the language reflect an anti-war stance for
example, or is there conflict in the word choice that shows revolution?)
Do you think the
poet had a particular audience in mind as s/he wrote?
Does the poetry remind you, either
thematically or structurally of any other poet we have studied?
Realize that in an essay of
this length it is impossible to answer all of these questions.
Find a single approach that
interests you, and fully develop your discussion of it referring directly to the poems for
evidence to support your ideas.
Use outside sources to support your ideas.
Cite within the text and add a works
cited list according to proper MLA format.
You must use quality literary sources;
simply ?google-ing? will not work for this paper.
(You must use at least four
ACADEMIC sources, not including the collection, to be eligible for an A.
You must use
at least three ACADEMIC sources, not including the collection, to be eligible for a B.)
Submit, with your paper, photocopies of at least 5 poems that you feel best illustrate your
thesis. The answer to this question… View the full answer
