Length: 1 and 1/2 to 3 pages
Essay 3 is your analysis of a poem.
I do not want you to do research on this assignment, so you do not need to include a Works Cited page.
Choose any one of the following poems:
“What I Know About Owls” by Paul Zimmer; “The Raven” Edgar Allan Poe; “Introduction to Poetry” by Billy Collins; “Ozymandias” by Percy Bysshe Shelley; and “The Facebook Sonnet” by Sherman Alexie.
Use literary terms for poetry like speaker, sound, rhythm, tone, style, voice, rhyme, stanza.
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.
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.
