.the download named assignment 2 ENA is an example of how I want the essay written please

this is the poem you will be using The poem

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O no, it is an ever-fixèd mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wand’ring bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Informal Outline reflects your paper’s core argument: your Thesis for your Introductory Paragraph and Topic Sentence and Direct Quotesfor your Body Paragraphs. As for writing the essay:
1. Consider beginning your Introductory Paragraph with your general ideas on romantic love to introduce the poem you’re discussing, and end with your Thesis, (your position on or interpretation of the poem). For example: In an age when potential relationships are readily accessible with the download of apps, and when millions of potential partners’ faces unfold before you like an online catalogue, love-seeking individuals are encompassed within a world of endless opportunities for romance. But with this instant entry into the dating scene, these same individuals are becoming desensitized to true love and what it entails. Given that it is now possible to claim a new partner by swiping right or double tapping on the screen of a cell phone, society’s interest in substantial human connections, and waiting for them to occur organically, is dwindling. Acting as a stark contrast to this notion, and presenting romantic ideas too ideal for most individuals of the 21st century, William Shakespeare’s poem “Let me not to the marriage of true minds” captures a meaningful and permanent type of love that is no longer valued so highly, but the type with which committed lovers can identify.
2. Write your Body Paragraphs beginning with your Topic Sentence (your main idea for one body paragraph); then provide your Direct Quote (your proof because you have to prove that poem says what you say it says); and then (3) Explain the relation between your Topic Sentence and your Direct Quote providing the details of your explanation including examples when apropos. For example: The poem proceeds to assert what attributes love does not possess as the speaker holds “Love is not love / Which alters when it alteration finds, / Or bends with the remover to remove” (2-4). The idea presented by these two lines is that of love’s permanence—its ability to remain unchanged even when new circumstances are thrown upon the individuals involved. If an alteration is found within the lives of the two lovers, and this change negatively affects their romantic bond, then this is not love, according to the speaker. Furthering the notion of true love’s immutability, Sonnet 116’s fourth line insists that along with its inability to be swayed by change, love also never “. . . bends with the remover to remove” (4). The speaker is insisting that a pure form of love will not be misshapen even at a time when a partner is absent or when the relationship is subject to adversity.
3. Write your Concluding Paragraph by spelling out the implications of your paper’s entire argument. What does it all mean? Remind your reader of your thesis. For example: In an age when potential relationships are readily accessible with the download of apps, and when millions of potential partners’ faces unfold before you like an online catalogue, love-seeking individuals are encompassed within a world of endless opportunities for romance. But with this instant entry into the dating scene, these same individuals are becoming desensitized to true love and what it entails. Given that it is now possible to claim a new partner by swiping right or double tapping on the screen of a cell phone, society’s interest in substantial human connections, and waiting for them to occur organically, is dwindling. Acting as a stark contrast to this notion, and presenting romantic ideas too ideal for most individuals of the 21st century, William Shakespeare’s poem “Let me not to the marriage of true minds” captures a meaningful and permanent type of love that is no longer valued so highly, but the type with which committed lovers can identify.

paper should be roughly three pages, Your paper should observe MLA guidelines, including heading, formatting, and double-spacing. Cite poetic lines in accord with MLA conventions, including slashes to indicate line breaks and line numbers cited at the end, e.g.: The speaker says that they’re “Bound to each other / like mountaineers coming down from a mountain” (4-5).

Additional Notes
Remember to refer to the speaker (the persona of the poet) when discussing what is being said in the poem rather than the poet who is the “architect” or creator of the poem responsible for the poetic devices.
Also remember that it’s important to consider what a word or line or image or symbol suggests as much as what it actually states (the “figurative” versus the “literal” meaning), so be mindful to be engaged in interpretation at every step along the way, that is, “Close Read” rather than generalize or summarize.
A few elements of poetry to consider are: speaker and his or her tone, images, figurative language, symbols, and (most importantly) “themes” when considering your poem.
