Students: please write a short, thoughtful, stylish reaction to one of the poems assigned. The paper should run about 500-600 words in length (about two full pages). It must have an original descriptive title, at least
two properly formatted quotations,
and at least one intentional,
original analogy to make your point.
This paper can be a personal reaction, but it must be in Standard Written English, and should demonstrate your close engagement and thorough understanding of the text at hand. You can simply mention the author and title in the introductory paragraph and skip a formal bibliography. It is devoutly to be wished that people will choose poems besides the one discussed in class. Have fun with this!
