Response analysis of The Lanyard.
Include a thesis which states the perspective you support and another perspective that you think has merit but may not be your position.
Create at least three paragraphs in this analysis including:
An introduction,
A body with evidence that includes your "reader response" connection to a character's point of view and the symbolism that this poem contains, and
A conclusion
Provide strong evidence including quotations from the poem and explain the connection of the evidence to your thesis.
Transition between evidence for a clear presentation: First, in addition, on the other hand, etc.
Use the Reader-Response essay on "My Papa's Waltz" as a model for explaining both perspectives. (This is not a narrative point of view statement, but rather an analysis of a perspective that you as a reader find compelling) with evidence of support for your thesis).
Use correct mechanics, MLA format for citing the lines of poetry, and a Works Cited page.
