Poetry Analysis Quiz

Turn in Process Journal 4


Poetry Analysis Quiz

  1. If you choose a  Level 1 (easy) poem, it will be difficult to get above a B.  However, if you struggle with poetry, do this!  Better to do a good analysis here than a shoddy analysis of a harder poem.
  2. Level 2 (medium) is where most people should probably be.
  3. Level 3 (hard) is for students who really want to challenge themselves.

  1. Choose TWO of the following to answer.  Hint: Extended metaphors may be necessary here!  Please note, one sentence answers are not sufficient.
    • How is a poem like a cat?
    • How is a poem like a bomb?
    • How is writing a poem like falling in love?
    • How is writing a poem like dying?
  2. Revision Challenge: Find the weakest part of your poem.  Make it stronger.  Show me the original version and the revised version, and then explain what changes you made, and why you think they make this section stronger.
  3. What is your next step in the process?  Why?  
Homework: None!
