essay paper about poems
In a carefully structured five hundred word essay fully discuss
the following three poems, “Because I could not stop for Deathâ€
by Emily Dickinson (p.736), “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good
Night†by Dylan Thomas (p. 681) and “Stopping by Woods on a
Snowy Evening by Robert Frost (p. 768). Prepare by first
reading the poems then consider the questions that follow each
poem in the book. After you have read the poems and considered
the questions for each, begin your essay with a focus on what
specific imagery each poet employs to treat the subject of death.
Feel free to use both class notes and the questions that follow
each poem. (I will provide you with class notes on Frost’s poem
since we did not discuss this poem in class.) Conclude your exam
with a discussion of how each poet’s treatment of death is quite
different. Send your exam to me via email attachment in “Wordâ€
