Metaphors by Sylvia Plath https://allpoetry.com/Metaphors
Choose a poem or song. Select one or more of the following questions, and write a thesis-driven, persuasive textual analysis essay in which you argue for a reading of the chosen poem based on your answer(s) to the question(s). You will need to include quotations/paraphrases from the poem with analysis of those quotations/paraphrases to support your thesis statement. Your writing about your reading of the text should comprise the majority of the material in your essay; do not allow quotations to overrun your essay. In answering the question(s), you should not merely summarize or retell the poem; remember that your target audience is an informed peer who has already read the poem. Biographical information on the author is an unnecessary distraction, so avoid including it. Select one or more of the following questions to answer with your essay: What is the poems point or purpose and why is that point important? How do the individual words used (or language usage in general) influence the meaning of the poem and why is that important? Does the writer make references; if so, what do those references represent and why are they important? Who is the intended audience of the poem, and how does the poem communicate to that audience and why? Does the poem have a particular approach or tone toward the subject and why does it matter? Is there a theme throughout the poem (what is it) and why does it matter? How do historical, social, political, cultural, and/or religious contexts (identify each you deal with) impact the poem and/or vice versa and why do those contexts matter?
As a part of your discussion, you may want to consider the basic questions about what is happening in the poem: who is speaking and from what perspective; how the poem uses language through sounds, images, and rhetorical figures; and so on (but do not summarize the poem). As you explore the poem, however, your focus should be answering the selected question or questions (do not allow any other discussions to distract away from this purpose). You are working to discover how and why the story means what your reading argues that it means; you are NOT writing a report. Do not get bogged down with literary terms, biography, history, or anything else that shifts the focus of your writing away from answer the assigned question(s) and using textual analysis to do so.
