Thoroughly respond to the following prompt: Write an argumentative essay that analyzes how effectively form and content complement each other in ONE of the following poems. (Think not just about what is being said but how it’s being said.) In your response, be sure to give an overview of what’s happening in terms of plot or situation, and make sure to draw on a variety of poetic devices such as rhythm, diction, figures of speech, etc. to make your case regarding poetic form. Choose ONE : Edgar Allan Poe, “The Raven” (pp. 730-733) John Donne, “[Batter my heart, three-personed God]” (p. 590) William Shakespeare, “[My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun]” (p. 669) Essay Requirements: Your essay must be 3-4 full pages in length. Follow MLA conventions. Please double space your essay, use Times New Roman (12 point font), and include 1-inch margins all around. Include at least one direct quote from your primary source (whichever poem you choose) and include a Works Cited page. Use proper in-text citations. Essay Evaluation: There should be a clear thesis that makes a specific argument about how form and content complement each other in your poem, and your essay should include textual evidence. Do not merely state your opinion throughout the essay; be sure to include textual analyses throughout that effectively support your thesis. Do not use “I.” Follow essay structure. Remember to analyze, not summarize. Only talk about the parts of the poem that support your argument.
