Write a 500-word analysis of the poem (1 point will be taken for every 15 words this analysis is short)
Analyze the poem through the lens of Feminist Criticism – How does patriarchy keep the persona in the poem down? How can you connect this to the time period in which it was written and/or our current time period? What keeps this inequality going?
Language Use – Take a look at the language strategies the author uses. Bring in at least two examples from the book to discuss. Make sure to cover all of these requirements:
Name the language use strategies used by the author that you’re analyzing (personification, metaphor, symbolism, etc.). When you reference these strategies in your assignment, you must bold the strategies you’re discussing.
Bring in two examples, one for each language use strategy you’re referencing. These examples must be direct quotes from the poem. Remember to include parenthetical in-text citations that provide the line number(s) referenced in MLA format.
Provide analysis. Are these strategies effective? What do they add to the poem?
