Homework 10/6

Hello. Okay, for tonight I would like you to choose one of the poems that we read in class today. Read it again in the quiet solitude of your home. Consider what is going on in the poem. Consider the literary devices that are at work in the poem. Then, write a brief analysis of the poem, in which you discuss how the literary devices impact the work as a whole. Make sure to focus on the one device that applies to the poem from today's activity. If you aren't sure what they are, please let me know through the comments section of the post. I will check the comments by 7, but not after. 

Also, for the 2nd part of the class tomorrow, please choose a story that you feel has strong characters, as this will be the basis for the timed write. Prepare it by using marginal notes, etc. Focus on character. It can be any story from any section, as long as we read it in class.
