I need a 5-7 paragraph essay on a Robert Frost poem. You, writer, may pick whichever poem to write about: Mending Wall, The Road Not Taken, or Stopping By Woods on a snowy evening. The prompt is:
Examining “Mending Wall,” “The Road Not Taken,” or “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” demonstrate how its imagery helps communicate its general theme. Be specific in noting how each key image contributes to the poem’s total effect.
As far as specific requirements,
-Cite 2 sources in-text using paranthetical citation, as well as in a Works Cited page. One must be the primary source of the poem itself (place the poet’s last name and the line number(s) in the parenthetical citation). The other must be a piece of literary criticism.
-MLA formatting
-No title page necessary
-Remember to include a thesis statement and topic sentence
-Be sure to reference both the poem and the source(s) you drew upon
-The titles of poems go in quotation marks
My professor stressed the following point:
“Often, students will not answer the prompt and will instead write an explication of the poem–a line by line analysis of the “meaning” of the poem. This is NOT suitable for this assignment. Both poets’ work is highly accessible, and an explication of these poems doesn’t involve the level of literary analysis required for this assignment. However, it would be useful for you to do a rough explication of the poem for yourself as you begin planning your essay.”
