This is not a research paper, but rather a close analytical reading of the poem(s) selected. As such, no outside sources are allowed. (**This means you should not Google these poems and "copy" or regurgitate what you read online. If you do, I'll likely know it, and your paper will fail.) This aims to solve the problem many beginning writers encounter when writing about literature - patching together quotes from secondary sources rather than putting forth original thought. I am looking for your ideas in this paper, understanding that ideas differ greatly from opinions. In other words, this assignment requires you to:</p><p> </p><p>1)  THINK about what you have read and make connections;</p><p> </p><p> 2) LOOK for evidence to back up your claims (in the form of quotes from the poem or poems);</p><p> </p><p>3)  COMPOSE a logical, persuasive, well-written argument. Begin by asking yourself: <em>What do I want the readers of my paper to believe about these poems after reading my essay?</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Topics:</em></strong></p><p>1.  Robert Frost's "Mowing" <strong>and</strong> "Nothing Gold Can Stay"</p><p>2.  Robert Frost's "The Wood-Pile" <strong>and</strong> "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"</p><p>3.  T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"</p><p>4.  Marianne Moore's "Poetry" <strong>and</strong> William Carlos Williams' "The Red Wheelbarrow"</p><p> </p><p><em>Essay Requirements</em></p><p> </p><p>Do not summarize the poems being discussed. Assume your reader is familiar with the poems.</p><p> </p><p>Provide a clear, understandable, and arguable thesis. The best theses avoid stating the obvious.  </p><p>Example of a non-thesis:  Jane Doe's poem "Rocking" is about a baby being rocked.</p><p> </p><p>Example of an arguable thesis: Jane Doe's poem "Rocking" explores multiple manifestations of life's tumult, using rocks as vehicles of exploration.</p><p> </p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Grading Criteria</em></p><p> </p><p>Essays will be checked for plagiarism using detection software and will be evaluated based on:</p><p> </p><p><em>Originality, complexity, and sufficient development of ideas presented, including:</em></p><p>thesis and poetic elements -- rhyme, symbol, metaphor, simile, line breaks,</p><p>word choice, imagery, meaning, etc. </p><p> </p><p><em>Appropriate college-level diction/writing</em> </p><p> </p><p><em>Adherence to MLA guidelines</em> </p><p>(Need a refresher?
