ENG102 Poetry Analysis Draft Absolute Deadline: Uploaded to Blackboard on 9/25/2020 before 11:30 p.m. 1st Draft Revision Absolute Deadline: Uploaded to Blackboard on 10/30/2020 before 11:30 p.m. 1st I. Process: Do an attentive reading of the poetic lyrics of your favorite song: Analyze the lyrics by following the questioning process we have used in class. Choose THREE (3) poetic elements to analyze the song (i.e., speaker, imagery, diction). Identify what you believe to be the central theme or overall meaning of the poem. Write a literary analysis demonstrating the way each of the poetic elements you have chosen contributes to the theme. II. Product: Your essay must include the following components (or it will not receive a passing grade): An introductory paragraph that identifies the title and author of the song you are discussing as well as a thesis statement that both identifies the theme and the three (3) elements of poetry you have chosen to analyze the lyrics. Example of thesis: Through the use of unusual words, symbolism, and hopeful tone, the speaker of “River” conveys the theme of salvation. (b) Body paragraphs that begin with clear topic sentences, which speak to the poetic element under examination in the paragraph and that contain supporting sentences reflecting examples from the text in the form of direct citation (including line numbers in parentheses). All examples from the text must be analyzed and relate to the assertions made in the paragraph. (c) A final paragraph that does not repeat the thesis but rather brings your argument to a logical conclusion or leaves your reader with thoughts to ponder about the song. BOTH THE 1ST DRAFT AND THE FINAL DRAFT WILL BE: Typed and double-spaced with 1″ margins – not 1.25” or 2”. 2-3 pages in length – the minimum length is 2 full pages – not 1 ¼, not 1 ½, not 1 ¾ pages.
