Comparing and contrasting poems

Use the Poetry Foundation, the Academy of American Poets, or any of the poems linked in the Weekly Modules to find two poems that address the same theme. Write an essay comparing and contrasting their treatment of that theme. ((The poems I chose: ‘ For My People’ by Margeret Walker and the poem ‘Caged Bird’ by Maya Angelou. ))

Your essay should have a clear organizational scheme with an introduction, body paragraphs focusing on one idea each, and a conclusion. Write a thesis statement making an arguable claim about the poems, and support your thesis with at least four quotations from the poems and your analysis of those quotations. Look carefully at the diction, syntax, imagery, and poetic devices to analyze how each poem communicates its message.

No matter which prompt you choose, each essay must include at least one reliable secondary (research) source and clearly indicate how it supports, provides context for, or contrasts with your analysis. You must include at least one quotation or paraphrase, with an MLA in-text citation, from your secondary source in the body of the paper. Your source must be from the library or a website ending in .edu, .gov, or .org. Poetry Foundation and the Academy of American Poets are good sources for poets’ biographies and critical articles on poetry.

Your paper must have MLA in-text citations and an MLA Works Cited page.

This paper should be 3-4 double-spaced pages long. Give your paper an interesting, descriptive title and use MLA formatting throughout.
