Write an essay on ONE of the poems listed below where you analyze its language and images, using your chosen school of literary criticism – Marxist, psychoanalytic, feminist, or critical race theory – in order to interpret the poem’s overall meaning.

• Dickinson “I heard a Fly buzz–when I died–” (503) (Links to an external site.)
• Edrich “Indian Boarding School: The Runaways” (507) (Links to an external site.)
• Hughes “Theme for English B” (510) (Links to an external site.)
• Olds “The One Girl at the Boys’ Party” (514) (Links to an external site.)
• Piercy “Barbie doll” (515) (Links to an external site.)
• Raleigh “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd” (516) (Links to an external site.)
• Sanchez “right on: white america” (517) (Links to an external site.)
• Wheatley “On Being Brought from Africa to America” (520) (Links to an external site.)
• Yeats “Sailing to Byzantium” (522)

• Use your chosen literary theory (e.g., feminist, psychoanalytic, Marxist or critical race theory) to analyze the poem to explain what the poem “means.”
• Use examples from the text to convincingly support the claims you’re making.
• When quoting extensively, take time to explain the specific parts in the quote that prove your point.
• Avoid simply offering a summary or restating of each line, but analyze and discuss the words/lines with a purpose.
• Use the present tense when describing or discussing events in the poem. In writing about literature, the convention is to always use the present tense throughout. The idea is that the poet is currently communicating thoughts to you in the present time.
• Ensure you have correctly spelled all names and titles. Put the name of the poem in double-quotation marks. When referring to the poet, write out his/her full name (and later references can be last name only).
• Don’t confuse the poet with the speaker of the poem – they are different.
• Remember to put quotation marks at the beginning and end of each quoted part.

750-1000 words(approx. 3-4 pages) not including the Works Cited page; MLA formatting

also a Works Cited page that cites your poem, plus at least one outside source to support/explain your chosen literary theory
