Write an essay for me? It's a small assignment, only needs to be 3-5 paragraphs (or 1-2 pages). Doesn't need to be MLA or APA. The poem that is being analyzed ("Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" by Dylan Thomas) in the essay can be found on Google or Poets.org. Here's the assignment:
In a well-developed essay, discuss how form meets function in Dylan Thomas' "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night." How does the structure of the poem influence meaning?
Criteria for an A paper: Exceptional thesis; excellent illustrations (support); superb organization; solid mechanics; effective imagination and creativity; makes connections and shows depth of insight.
It doesn't need to be an A+ paper, but please try your best and use your own ideas. If I get a good grade, I'll tip extra. Thanks!
Also, here's what it said in the lesson about Thomas' use of form and function to help you out:
Thomas uses a villanelle for his form. Dylan makes a deliberate choice when he creates his poem on death in the form of a villanelle. Not only is the form a difficult one for a difficult subject, but the form also assists Dylan's words to function in creating meaning, purpose, and tone.
