Description

Provide a detailed, nuanced interpretation of the poem you chose from the
poem list.docx. Spend around 2 pages or half the paper just thoroughly working through
the poem’s language and ideas to show the overall meaning of the poem.
Thoughtfully analyze one current problem in society today and how the poem
would help us critique or resist this problem.
The analysis of the problem needs to be deep and sophisticated, and it ideally should take up about half the paper.
Be as precise as possible about what is happening, why, its consequences, etc.
The problem could be personal/psychological, cultural/social, or even political.
Research is not required, though it might help in some cases. Then, using your
interpretation, persuasively argue how the poem provides the resources or ideas
that might allow one a deeper understanding of the problem or the ability to fight
back against it. In other words, how would reading this poem perhaps assist
people in dealing with this problem?
