These requirements will be included in each questions to save you the trouble of having to repeatedly click back to them to review the details. Type directly into the box. Don't worry about changing any of the formatting. Because you are working under a time constraint and do not have the benefit of spell check or any editing tools, I grade less strictly on grammar and punctuation for this assignment. However, work should be written at a college level and easy to follow. First person pronouns are permitted. Second person pronouns, contractions, and informal language are not. A Works Cited page is not required, but proper in-text citations for each quote are. For the work below, write a minimum of eight sentences in varying sentence structure. Include each of the following: the work’s title the author’s name a quotation from the work -- integrated with your own sentence and properly cited. Be sure to explain the relevance of the quote you're including. specific references to the poem and evidence of careful thought a discussion of the writer's life and its relevance to the work a discussion of how the poem fits into this period of American literature (NOT how it's relevant in today) / represents something about American culture at the time What does the poem have to say about life and death? After you’ve included the six required items above, you may choose any of these optional items to guide the rest of your content. You may even choose the same one every time. your opinion of the work, good or bad, supported by specific references a discussion of the title’s significance a detailed response to a specific line or lines a comparison to another work, song, story, movie… an examination of literary techniques used, such as rhyme, rhythm, simile, metaphor, personification, allusion… a close analysis of the author’s diction, perhaps noting specific word choices, or connotation and denotation a paraphrase of the work a statement relating the work to your experience or ideas--Does it make you think of a particular time in your life? Does it remind you of some idea or thought you've had in the past? an explanation of why the work is relevant in today's world Fair flower, that dost so comely grow,Hid in this silent, dull retreat,Untouch’d thy honey’d blossoms blow,Unseen thy little branches greet: No roving foot shall crush thee here, No busy hand provoke a tear. By Nature’s self in white array’d,She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,And planted here the guardian shade,And sent soft waters murmuring by; Thus quietly thy summer goes, Thy days declining to repose. Smit with those charms, that must decay,I grieve to see thy future doom;They died—nor were those flowers more gay,(The flowers that did in Eden bloom) Unpitying frosts and Autumn’s power Shall leave no vestige of this flower. From morning suns and evening dewsAt first thy little being came:If nothing once, you nothing lose,For when you die you are the same; The space between is but an hour, The mere idea of a flower.
