This paper needs to be 1000 words, showing that you can connect the details of a work to its overall meaning and design. Paper must begin (beneath the title) with a brief quotation from the work, formatted as an epigraph to the paper. The opening sentence must say something intelligent about the words of the quotation (with no empty generalizations, windy fluff, or pretentious blather); the rest of the paper must eventually work outward from your opening sentences toward a reading of a larger part of the work or of the work as a whole.
In other words, you are doing an extended close-reading assignment, beginning with one sentence from which you are extending your analysis. This essay is NOT merely a close-reading of that sentence, but an analysis of how that sentence contributes to the overall meaning of the poem. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED POEM FOR THIS ESSAY.
