Your essay should follow your plan laid out in the Poetry Prewriting Test according to one of the following topics: the poem I chose is Annabel lee

In order to support your thesis, you must incorporate research from 1 secondary source from the CGTC’s Library references page’s Literary Reference Center and/or GALILEO, Credo Reference, and/or reputable sources (Wikipedia, Shmoop, Cliffs Notes, Lit Charts, etc. are NOT reputable sources).  However, you may go to Poetry Foundation online to find research information about your poet and use Knight Cite to help you cite your source. You may also use any cited Power Point information or research article about the poet or poem provided in the Poetry Resource folder.
Choose one poem from the reading list and write an essay focusing on three themes, symbols, or literary devices present within the text.
Choose two poems from the reading list and write a point-by-point comparison essay focusing on three similar themes, symbols, or literary devices in both texts.

Like any five-paragraph essay, this essay will have an introduction paragraph that ends with a three-part thesis statement establishing the three main literary elements of discussion.
The three body paragraphs will contain 8-11 sentences, and each will address in the same order the elements presented in the thesis statement. Each body paragraph should contain a topic and concluding sentence as well as transitions to help the reader move from one idea to the next.
The concluding paragraph will restate the three main elements discussed as well as the name of the poem and poet.

Follow MLA Guidelines to format your essay correctly.
Please include a Works Cited page that contains your primary source/sources (the poem/poems you are writing about) and the secondary source/ article source.  
Remember, in-text citations should be used for both direct and indirect quotations.
Model that you should follow when citing your poem in this essay:
Author’s Last Name, Author’s First Name. “Title.” 2022. PDF.
Ten points will be deducted every time a source outside of Galileo, LibGuides, Credo Reference, or the Literary Reference Center is used. You may use Poetry Foundation online, but you will need to use Citation Machine or Knight Cite to help you generate a citation.
