profileoptimus

detail: a full three-page poetry comparison paper is due, Must be MLA-formatted(http://citationproducer.com/article/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/mla-format.jpg). (Your first page note font, spacing, margins, heading, title.

 

 

Your thesis will be: Although these poems at first glance seem different, upon deeper reflection, they are actually quite similar. (.....some variation of that.) The two poems you write about = your choice. However, you do indeed want to choose poems that seem, at first glance/on the surface, quite different.

Your paper will need to have: a brief introduction ending in a thesis, a body paragraph or two pointing out differences, then -- after the differences section -- a transition to the similarities section, and *at least* two body paragraphs about similarities. (See "Written Homework" below for information about what you need to include in body paragraphs.) You want to go deeper with the similarities, pointing out the not-so-obvious. Paper will end in a brief conclusion.

To consider for your comparison: the who/what/when/where/why. For example, consider the speaker in each (age, gender, profession, personality, change, motivation, what the speaker wants, what the speaker is or was upset about), the "plot" of each poem (what is happening? why?), the conflict(s), the relationships in the poems, tone, mood, setting, theme (a poem/story/novel can definitely have more than one theme), how the poems shift/end. And what about symbolism? (A symbol is an OBJECT -- thing -- that stands for a bigger idea. For example, a red dress might symbolize passion and lust, and hot dogs might symbolize a life of struggle and poverty. Do the poems you've chosen include any symbols? Do those symbols stand for similar or different ideas?)

 

Also to consider for comparison: style -- that is, how are the poems written? From what point of view -- first person (from the "I" perspective)? Or third person? What kind of language is used? Formal, or more informal (for example, with slang/curse words)? Is repetition used in any poem? Why, do you think? What is the effect of the repetition in each? Does either poem include imagery? (Think of "imagery" as another way of saying "description." Some poems have a lot, some have very little, some have none at all. "Hard Times," for example, uses imagery -- the poet describes the rosary-pinching hands of the mother, the pigs in blanket on a plate, the pint of gin; we can picture the scene/setting. "Feeling Fucked Up," on the other hand, uses very little imagery: there are no descriptions of place or people.) And if your poems *do* include include imagery -- is that imagery similar at all? (For example, "Hard Times" and "Eating Together" both include *food* imagery.) Also about style: do either of the poems utilize figurative language -- like metaphors, similes, personification, allusion? If they both use some kind of figurative language, is it at all similar? If they both use metaphors, for example, are the metaphors similar in any way?
