Grader Notes:

· The structure is confusing and there is no paragraph that directly compares both poems. For the most part, these seem to be two short stand-alone analyses. Your conclusion is also too short and does not properly reiterate your key points.

· The analysis is too short. Many statements are vague and not supported by relevant examples. An example is: ‘’ The theme of suffering has been combined with the theme of death to give sad mood.’’ You need to provide examples to support your key points.

· There is no proper central idea that connects to all of your key points. The final sentence of your introduction somewhat serves as a thesis, but it is insufficiently specific and does not clearly relate to your key points.

· There are a few examples of errors concerning the mechanics (such as: ‘’ There many types of themes that poems can be based on including, marriage, love, romance, distress and pain among many others spoken about in the poem.’’).
