Directions: Post a response to ONE of the two writing prompts provided below. For full credit, craft your response as you would a thoroughly developed paragraph. Include a topic sentence which contains the author and title of the poem, and use ONE or TWO lines from the poem as you develop the central idea and focus you provide within the topic sentence. When citing poetry, you will need to have the word Line or Lines (if more than one line) in the first citation. For example (Line 1) or (Lines 2-3). When quoting more than one line, be sure to separate the lines with a /. After this first quote, you only need to have the line number. For example (9). You do not cite poetry with the author’s last name.(8-12 sentences minimum/50 pts.) Prompts: 1. “Home Burial”: Which character do you think has the most power in this relationship? Does the power shift as the poem progresses? How so? 2. “The Road Not Taken”: What do you think the chances are that the speaker will get to come back and try the other path?Show more
