Blog 5: Essay 3 Preview

After reading Essay 3 and Sample Essay 3, I think for our next essay we need to choose a poem or song so that we can identify the poetic form, symbolism, tone, mood, motif, archetype in the poem and also use internet to find their meaning. We also need to write the summary line by line or stanza by stanza of the poem or song that we choose and then analyze and interpret the poem or the song. We also need to do research and find about the brief information of the author and write a brief biography in the essay. All the sources have to be in MLA format. I am confused that we can choose any poem or have to use the poem used in Essay 2 because the poem that I had selected in Essay 2 for that the author is unknown as only the person who has edited is known so it is difficult to write about the author's biography. To complete this essay we need to have a better understanding about the terms in a poem and also research their meaning in detail. I would like to write about some other poem whose author is known so that I can write about his biography and also write a detailed essay incorporating all the things learned in the class about the poetry.
