Robert Frost

Here is the list of poems you need to read for next class (Nov 24). Please click on the link to read each poem.

A mini-essay - one page, single spaced - is due next class (unless you were one of the three people who turned in an essay on Nov 17). For the mini-essay, analyze one or more of the Frost poems. Be sure to have a thesis, with the poem's theme, and clear mapping. Then follow-through with your mapped-out organization in your essay. For poetry analysis, some elements to pay attention to are: repetition, imagery, word choice, punctuation, and symbolism.

Tuft of Flowers

Mending Wall

The Wood-Pile

Acquainted with the Night

Come In
