Roane State On Death without Exaggeration Poem Analysis Outline

Poem : https://theartofreading.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/p…

  1. Unique interpretations with strong evidence and explanations are also welcome, and
  2. In your full sentence essay outline (you will not write the actual essay) for the assignment after this one, you must state an argumentative thesis based on poetic/literary elements and not just a series of ideas or facts about the poem.

2. Write three “pre-outlining” paragraphs about the poem you have chosen. Begin each paragraph with a main idea/topic sentence, and use transitions between points so that your reader can easily follow your logic.

1) A brainstorming paragraph that answers these questions:

      • Why were you drawn to this poem? What did you like about it?
      • What thesis about a theme do you see for an essay about this poem? Remember that your thesis is grounded in your claim about the literary/poetic elements that support one possible theme in your poem. A theme, for our purposes, is not a topic or subject or plot or tone of a poem. A theme is an overall message conveyed or implied by the poem, usually stated as an observation or recommendation for readers. You may have more than one idea about a thesis on a theme. Review what a theme and a thesis are in Unit 2.

2) An evidence paragraph that includes the following:

      • Include some of the poetic elements/terms that a New Critic looks for to derive meaning from a poem. Review these poetic elements/terms in Assignments 3.4, and also in this link: Literary Terms.
      • Match lines or phrases of your poem to the elements that you will use (you do not need to use all of the terms; three poetic elements will work just fine!) and write and explain why they go together in this paragraph.
      • Use MLA 8 format to cite the lines you have matched to poetic elements using in-text citations and a Work Cited section.

3) A conferencing paragraph in which you ask at least two questions about your ideas and fully explain why you have these questions. Any aspects of the poem (lines not understood, etc.) or essay writing (theme, thesis, structure, etc.) are appropriate.
