I'm not clearly understanding my assignment, this is what it is:
You should typically organize your paper by proceeding systematically from one element to another (e.g., voice, tone, language, imagery, figures of speech, form, symbol, allusion), considering each element in turn. For each element you discuss, you will give examples from the work you are explicating, quoting words, phrases, lines, and passages, followed by your explanation of how these examples illustrate each point you are making about the work. When you submit the final paper, include a full-length typed copy of your selected poem on a separate sheet of paper; it should also contain the author's name, the title, and the line numbers.
I've written two paragraphs on my essay so far but I'm not sure that I followed the guidelines since they're not very clear to me. Thanks so much in advanced!!
