I’m working on a english writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Seven to eight paragraphs, at least five sentences in each.
Remember to include two of the words the class chose, and ALL of these, on one of the poems from our book that you made a list about:
– Title and author
– How many stanzas
– Is it a sonnet? Why or why not
– What’s the rhyme scheme for the first six lines
– If there are characters, describe them
– What’s the diction–give examples of the type from the poem
– Was there any imagery–give examples if yes
– Symbolism?
– Conflicts, “man vs. —” (more than one if applicable)
– Point of view
– Was it from the traditional, transitional or modern period (year written is how you know)
– Is it literal or figurative–explain
– Theme
(poem list in attachment below which includes all information above this line):——————————————————
