I read Analyzing The Essay Prompt and learned that there is a lot of steps I should take before actually beginning to write my essay. I thought that the hardest part for me was reading through the poem and being able to tell what the iambic pentameter. I never really had taken the time to determine the patterns of poems and the way the syntax helped the poem's point develop.
I learned that in order to fully understand a poem or any piece of literature, I need to read the poem once thoroughly, a second time and start identifying elements in it and a third time to grasp the meaning of the poem and find more lit. elements. I liked the fact that now when I read an essay prompt I will be able to identify words that let me write with more freedom.
The prompt in this work, asked to " describe the author's attitude". The words describe and attitude are words that give freedoms to the writer. Describe can mean explain, analyze, interpret, argue, or theorize as long as it describes the author's attitude. Attitude can mean, ideas, conceptions, values, judgments and beliefs. As well as feelings, emotions, reactions and tones of voice. The more you reread the prompt, the more you will find a way to make the essay easier to write.
