Write an analysis of one of the WWI poems listed here. Type and print your work and bring it to class.
Take a look at these poems written about World War I. Try to determine what each speaker says in each of the poems listed. What is the message in each of these poems?
Make sure you identify lines and passages from each poem to identify your answers.
Then, test your interpretation and analysis. Search online for analysis of the poems, and compare your notes and conclusions with those available online.
Write a 1-2 page short essay (double-spaced) in which you briefly discuss your interpretation and how it compares with interpretations available online. Keep in mind that I will evaluate your short essay based on how well you explain similarities and/or differences between your analysis and those found online. You won't be penalized if your analysis does not match the ones found online, or if it is "wrong."
