poetry comparison "For Brilliant answers"

TASK: .  Write an essay that, by comparing and contrasting the poem’s form and content, forms an argument to suggest something significant the authors do with their subject.  Put emphasis not merely on WHAT the poem is saying but HOW and WHY. (If you wish, one of the poems can come from outside the anthology).

PURPOSE: To practice extensive brainstorming, sustained close-reading and analysis, and argument-based essay writing.

CRITERIA: Papers will be graded on the sharpness of the observations, wisdom of the organization, precision of the

writing/grammar/punctuation, the level of interest generated by the comparisons and contrasts, and the degree to which the observations have been crafted into a unified argument. 

Include an MLA-style works cited at the end
