For this essay, I have assigned topics according to subject. Using at least two poems, discuss what they have to say about one<\/u> of the following subjects (race relations, parents and children, OR women\u2019s relationships\/women\u2019s work).<\/strong> Use evidence from the poems including direct quotes, and compare and contrast the ways in which the poets express themselves on the issue.<\/strong> Be sure to include your interpretation of what each poem means (1-2 paragraphs for each) after an introduction that introduces the poems you have chosen and shows how they are connected (1 paragraph). Don\u2019t forget to wrap up these connections you are making in a separate conclusion (1 paragraph). If you find other poems from our anthology that address these subjects, you are welcome to use them as well.<\/p>\n Subject #1: Race Relations<\/p>\n Langston Hughes, \u201cHarlem\u201d and \u201cI, Too,\u201d p. 689; Countee Cullen, \u201cYet Do I Marvel,\u201d p. 670; Dudley Randall, \u201cBallad of Birmingham,\u201d p. 640; Claude McKay, \u201cThe Harlem Dancer\u201d and \u201cThe White House,\u201d p. 698.<\/p>\n Subject #2: Parents and Children<\/p>\n Robert Hayden, \u201cThose Winter Sundays,\u201d p. 540; Seamus Heaney, \u201cDigging,\u201d p. 686; Theodore Roethke, \u201cMy Papa\u2019s Waltz,\u201d 552; Sylvia Plath, \u201cDaddy,\u201d 705; Linda Pastan, \u201cTo a Daughter Leaving Home\u201d (503). <\/p>\n Subject #3: Women\u2019s Relationships\/Women\u2019s Work<\/p>\n Sylvia Plath, \u201cDaddy,\u201d p. 705-707; Marge Piercy, \u201cBarbie Doll,\u201d 533; Dorothy Parker, \u201cA Certain Lady,\u201d p. 492; Rita Dove, \u201cDaystar,\u201d p. 502; Linda Pastan, \u201cMarks,\u201d p. 565.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please write a 2-3 page interpretive essay based on one of the following topics.
