Suggestions on how to proceed:
1) First, mark all words and phrases that were
especially important in helping you make sense of the poem.
2) Next, look up the meanings of all unfamiliar
words and phrases.
3) Then, read the poem more closely and settle
on a dominant theme/emotion to focus on.
4) Now, annotate the HECK out of it, making
especially sure to mark passages which relate to your thesis.
5) At that point, begin assembling a draft of
your explication. This could be done in
several ways.
*First-draft of explications due on Thursday, 4/17.
