Poem explication-exegetical commentary


That is, you will spend most of your time close to the text making specific note of the language, grammar, syntax of your poem and then make general statements that reflect those findings.

For this paper, you will explicate the poem that you have chosen. That is, you will spend most of your time close to the text making specific note of the language, grammar, syntax of your poem and then make general statements that reflect those findings.
This paper is unlike most of your other papers in that we want to see you deal with a work inductively rather than deductively. The structure, then, of your paper probably won't follow the typical Intro, T.S, Point 1, Point 2 etc flow; rather, it will reflect more note-like comments.
We will follow the same format as in the Hamlet paper where you post the night before, give your talk in class, then submit your final copy the next class day.
