Write a 2 page essay analyzing 2 poems of at least 14 lines - 1 written before 1900 and 1 written after 1900. Analyze the language for meaning, imagery, diction, and context. Analyze the poem's structure for rhyme, rhythm, stanzas, and form. Compare the two poems to show how the poems share similar elements as well how the two poems contrast elements. The more in depth, focused, and specific your analysis, the clearer your paper will be. Examine the specific language that each poet uses. You will be arguing that there is a clearer meaning of each poem when it is examined next to another poem. Refer to the supporting materials in the textbook for each of these elements of poetry. Be sure to show how examining the poems reveals meaning for both of them. Remember that you are NOT writing two separate poem analyses, but arguing how each poem's meaning can be better understood by comparing it to the other

Be sure to focus ONLY on the poems. Do not use "I", "you", "we" or, "the reader" . DO NOT USE GENERAL STATEMENTS such as, " Women feel that", or "love is important" or "Since the beginning of time." Do not state your subjective opinion of the poem, such as "sad, exciting, flows, mysterious, or happy." Your task to is demonstrate what techniques the poet used to write the poem. Focus only on the words on the page. Be sure to write what is true ONLY for the poem. NEVER PASS UP AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE MORE SPECIFIC! Check grammar! NO PLAIGRISM POEM 1: To My Mother By: Edgar Allan Poe Because I feel that, in the Heavens above, The angels, whispering to one another, Can find, among their burning terms of love, None so devotional as that of "Mother," Therefore by that dear name, I long have called you- You who are more than mother unto me, And fill my heart of hearts, where Death installed you In setting my Virginia's spirit free. My mother- my own mother, who died early, Was but the mother of myself; but you Are mother to the one I loved so dearly, And thus are dearer than the mother I knew By that infinity with which my wife Was dearer to my soul than its soul-life. POEM 2: The Starry Night BY ANNE SEXTON That does not keep me from having a terrible need of—shall I say the word—religion. Then I go out at night to paint the stars.Vincent Van Gogh in a letter to his brother The town does not exist except where one black-haired tree slips up like a drowned woman into the hot sky. The town is silent. The night boils with eleven stars. Oh starry starry night! This is how I want to die. It moves. They are all alive. Even the moon bulges in its orange irons to push children, like a god, from its eye. The old unseen serpent swallows up the stars. Oh starry starry night! This is how I want to die: into that rushing beast of the night, sucked up by that great dragon, to split from my life with no flag, no belly, no cry.
