For the introduction, after writing a hook that engages your reader, you will need to provide the following necessary information in three to five crisp sentences: title of the poem, poet’s name (biographical facts, only if relevant), and a brief summary of the poem. Moreover, for the thesis, you will need to identify the literary elements you will be focusing on and connect them to the theme of the poem. (Remember, a theme is what the poem is trying to teach you about human nature or experience. A theme is not a topic or subject, which can be captured in a word or two, such as “abortion” or “infidelity.” Rather, a theme should be a one to two sentence statement that captures the poem’s meaning). This is what the thesis should look like:
In “Interstellar,” Barry Ramirez uses symbol, metaphor, and allusion to explore the theme that when we are young, we make impulsive decisions to impress others which, in turn, are embarrassing.”
For the body paragraphs, you should focus on one literary element per body paragraph. You will need to provide quotes of the parts or lines of the poem you are highlighting with citations at the end of sentences. For example: The speaker says, “into musical shells of ears/entered a stone forest” (Herbert 26-27). Make sure that you are using examples which demonstrate the use of the literary device you are focusing on. You should then analyze the quotation and strive to show how this example helps the author communicate the theme.
For the conclusion, you should reflect on how successful the author is in communicating the message and give a personal statement about the topic; in other words, briefly discuss how you relate to the theme of the poem. You are allowed to use first person (“I”) throughout the paper.
The paper should be 3-4 pages (not including the Works Cited list). The paper should be in MLA format, which includes, but is not limited to, double-spacing, 1” margins, headers with your last name and the page number, 12 point, Times New Roman font, and a Works Cited list.
