Poetry Analysis Argument

The first two pages will focus on the life and history of the poet. Choose a specific angle (relationships, education, family, thematic connection the poem, childhood, vices/problems, etc) to discuss in this portion of the essay.
Include details from at least two research sources 
Your life and history portion must be accurate, cohesive (not a list), detailed, and focused 
You must make and support conclusions about the author 
The paper should have an original title that is not just the title of the text you are writing about. State the authors full name and title of the text in the introduction, and refer to the author by last name only thereafter. 

The second section (must be at least three pages) should argue your interpretation of the poem. Consider this to be a thematic analysis it will be your job to support your reading of the poem, your interpretation of its theme and how its use of literary elements contributes to that theme.
Your essay should show a strong familiarity with the poem and should use literary elements and terminology to explain your debatable, interpretive angle and argument. 
Your introduction must have a debatable thesis. This should be the last sentence (or two, if necessary) of the FIRST paragraph. Underline your thesis/claim statement to make it stand out. 
Everything in your essay should work towards helping your develop and prove the literary argument as stated in this thesis sentence. This section of your essay should be paragraphs developed in support of your thematic interpretation of the poem. It should be organized by literary element or section of the poem. Each paragraph should be an organized, contained unit, using quotes from research and the poem to support your reading. Do not organize by summary. 
This section should use research to support its interpretative claims, integrating quotes into your own sentence.
