The full text of the work will appear at the bottom of these instructions. These requirements will be included in each questions to save you the trouble of having to repeatedly click back to them to review the details. Type directly into the box. Don’t worry about changing any of the formatting. Because you are working under a time constraint and do not have the benefit of spell check or any editing tools, I grade less strictly on grammar and punctuation for this assignment. However, work should be written at a college level and easy to follow. First person pronouns are permitted. Second person pronouns, contractions, and informal language are not. A Works Cited page is not required, but proper in-text citations for each quote are. For the work below, write a paragraph of a minimum of eight sentences in varying sentence structure. Include each of the following: the work’s title the author’s name a quotation from the work — integrated with your own sentence and properly cited. Be sure to explain the relevance of the quote you’re including. specific references to the poem and evidence of careful thought a discussion of the writer’s life and its relevance to the work a discussion of how the poem fits into this period of American literature (NOT how it’s relevant in today) / represents something about American culture at the time What is the moral lesson of the poem? After you’ve included the six required items above, you may choose any of these optional items to guide the rest of your content. You may even choose the same one every time. your opinion of the work, good or bad, supported by specific references a discussion of the title’s significance a detailed response to a specific line or lines a comparison to another work, song, story, movie… an examination of literary techniques used, such as rhyme, rhythm, simile, metaphor, personification, allusion… a close analysis of the author’s diction, perhaps noting specific word choices, or connotation and denotation a paraphrase of the work a statement relating the work to your experience or ideas–Does it make you think of a particular time in your life? Does it remind you of some idea or thought you’ve had in the past? an explanation of why the work is relevant in today’s world Whither, ‘midst falling dew, While glow the heavens with the last steps of day, Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue Thy solitary way? Vainly the fowler’s eye Might mark thy distant flight, to do thee wrong, As, darkly seen against the crimson sky, Thy figure floats along. Seek’st thou the plashy brink Of weedy lake, or marge of river wide, Or where the rocking billows rise and sink On the chaféd ocean side? There is a Power, whose care Teaches thy way along that pathless coast,— The desert and illimitable air Lone wandering, but not lost. All day thy wings have fanned, At that far height, the cold thin atmosphere; Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome land, Though the dark night is near. And soon that toil shall end, Soon shalt thou find a summer home, and rest, And scream among thy fellows; reeds shall bend, Soon, o’er thy sheltered nest. Thou’rt gone, the abyss of heaven Hath swallowed up thy form, yet, on my heart Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart. He, who, from zone to zone, Guides through the boundless sky thy certain flight, In the long way that I must trace alone, Will lead my steps aright.
